How To Complete The Interceptor Mission in MW3 Zombies

Learn how to find and destroy Mercenary Convoys, collect the Mercenary Stronghold Keycard, and complete the Interceptor mission in MW3 Zombies with this guide.

Alright, let's get this Interceptor mission done in MW3 Zombies! It's pretty straightforward, but you gotta know what you're looking for. First things first, jump into a MWZ lobby.

Your main goals here are to find and wreck a Mercenary Convoy and then snag a Mercenary Stronghold Keycard. Easy enough, right?

How to Find the Mercenary Convoy:

You'll need to scout the map for three Armored Trucks. These guys usually cruise around the highway in a counter-clockwise loop, but don't bank on them always being there. They can pop up anywhere on the highway, or even veer off into the suburbs near Merc strongholds or inside cities. While they seem to favor the southeast and southwest parts of the map, it's not a hard rule, so keep your eyes peeled. Once you spot them, just roll up, take out their guards and the trucks themselves. One of those guards should drop the Mercenary Keycard you need. Just a heads-up: don't mistake a single armored truck driven by NPCs for a full Merc Convoy – it's gotta be the group of three trucks.

Gearing Up:

Before you go hunting convoys, it's a smart move to get yourself kitted out. Packing a RGL and getting it Pack-a-Punched will make destroying those armored cars a breeze. Any launcher-type weapon will do the trick, as their explosives are great for clearing out Mercs hiding or taking out the vehicles quickly. Make sure you've got a good stack of armor plates, because these Mercs have insane aim and can chew through them fast. If you're feeling fancy, you could also bring C4 or even call in an SAE killstreak to air strike the convoy.

Mission Complete!

Once you've successfully taken down a Mercenary Convoy and grabbed that Merc Stronghold keycard, you'll have officially completed the Interceptor mission in MW3 Zombies. With solid guns and some explosives, you should be well-equipped to find these convoys, beat them, and snag the keycard. Doing this pushes you further into the Chapter 1 storyline. Good luck out there!
