The first objective in the mission Two Factor Authentication of Modern Warfare 3 Zombies is simply to complete a Defend Ground Station Contract with a given set of conditions. Here's how you can do so:

  • Drop into a Zombies match and look for the nearest Defend Ground Station Contract. Consult the Tactical Map if you have trouble locating one.
  • Once located, head over to the area and activate the contract.
  • This will spawn three Seismic Refractors in the area. Interact with them to activate all three.
  • Successfully doing so will spawn a Sever. Approach it and interact with the console to begin the upload.
  • This will spawn zombies and Mercenaries that will try to attack the computer while the upload is in progress.
  • Eliminate 20 such Mercenaries and all the zombies that try to attack the computer.
  • Ensure that the computer health doesn't drop below 60%, and hence, it is advised not to get too far from the server.
  • Once the upload is complete, a Reward Rift will appear. Approach and interact with it.
  • Collect the Death Perception Recipe among the other items.
  • Now, simply make your way to the nearest exfil point and proceed to exfiltrate from the map to complete the mission.

By following all the abovementioned steps with the conditions suggested by the mission (20 Mercenary kills and above 60% health of the computer), you can easily complete the mission and earn all the rewards it promises.
