What's inside the Aether Storm in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies?

The Aether Storm is a small zone within the Modern Warfare 3 Zombies map Urzikstan. Inside it, you will face multiple powerful zombies. This includes a formidable boss called the Stormcaller, a buffed-up version of the special zombie called Disciple.

The challenging part of this storm is that the zombies within it will be one tier higher than those found in the threat zone where this storm originated. For example, if the Aether Storm occurs in a low-threat zone, the foes inside the former will be raised to Tier 2. This means you'll be facing stronger opponents compared to the low-threat zone's typical Tier 1 zombies.

Furthermore, beating Stormcaller is a high-difficulty, high-reward challenge. Defeating this powerful enemy will grant you exciting rewards such as Wonder Weapons, Schematics, Experience Points (XP), Essence, and other rare items.

Before heading inside an Aether Storm, prepare yourself with powerful gear. Equip a high-rarity weapon, and it's recommended to Pack-a-Punch your weapon to level 2. To do this, spend 15,000 Essences. Once you've acquired them, head to the Pack-a-Punch machine and upgrade your weapon to level 2.

Additionally, you must have a few gas masks, which you can obtain by looting or purchasing from Buy Stations for 1,000 Essences. Also, make sure you have enough bullets, Perk-a-Colas, Armor Plates, and grenades.

Furthermore, playing with a squad will make it easier to tackle the Aether Storm. In a team, you may not necessarily need to Pack-a-Punch your weapon to level 2; using its level 1 version will be enough.
