Who are Terminus Outcomes in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies

Fans of the Call of Duty series await the release of Modern Warfare 3 this November. The upcoming entry will be a direct sequel and the third game in the Modern Warfare series reboot. Its narrative primarily follows the story of Task Force 141 as it executes counter-terrorism operations around the world. Aside from its stories that are filled with adrenaline-inducing, heart-stopping action, the COD series is renowned for its various multiplayer modes, which will also be a part of Modern Warfare 3.

Zombies, one of the franchise's most popular multiplayer modes, is making its much-awaited return to the upcoming installment.

Modern Warfare 3 introduces the Terminus Outcomes

The arrival of Zombies mode in Modern Warfare 3 will mark its debut in the extensive Modern Warfare series. With its reintroduction, developers are introducing a lot of new changes. One of these modifications involves adding more story elements to Zombies.

As a fresh narrative for this mode, a new mercenary group known as Terminus Outcome is introduced, which appears to have a role in causing the zombie outbreak.

In the cinematic trailer, this mercenary group steals something called Aetherium, which will be used to create a weapon. Despite successfully acquiring the Aetherium, Terminus Outcome gets ambushed by the local police and seems to be overwhelmed.

In an attempt to escape, one of the mercenaries uses a vial of Aetherium as a weapon by tossing it like a grenade at the attacking police forces. The vial breaks and releases a huge dark cloud that envelops the entire area. Suddenly, the fighters who have already been killed rise up as zombies.

With the upcoming installment of Zombies for Modern Warfare 3 having a bigger focus on depicting a narrative, it is safe to assume that this isn't the players' first encounter with Terminus Outcome. However, as of now, we know they are responsible for unleashing the Zombie virus.
