How to complete the Heist mission in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies

The Heist mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies requires you to complete two objectives:

• Complete an Aether Extractor Contract
• Collect a filled Essence Container from an Aether Extract Contract

You will be rewarded with the Cranial Adjustment Charm and an additional 3000 XP upon completion.

To make the mission easy, it is recommended you be ready in advance with powerful weapons, armor plates, grenades, and a proper squad. Before commencing, you should Pack-a-Punch your weapon to level 2, which will require a total of 15,000 essences.

Begin in the low-threat area, locate a Pack-a-Punch machine, and upgrade your weapon to level 1. Now, navigate to the medium threat zone, pinpoint another machine via the Tac map, and upgrade it to level 2.

Objective 1: Complete an Aether Extraction Contract

Begin the mission by locating an Aether Extraction contract on your Tac map. The location can be identified by a rocket icon with a blue backdrop; mark it and proceed to activate the contract. After activation, three Aether Extractor rockets descend and are marked on the Tac map, triggering a three-minute timer.

Manage the time frame effectively by quickly disabling all three Aether Extractors. Because of their near proximity, travel time is minimal. Prioritize the elimination of aggressive mercenaries, either personally or by instructing your squad to focus on them. Simultaneously, head towards each Extractor and trigger the Overload Aether Extractor prompt upon proximity. Initiate this action and repeat it with the remaining two Extractors.
