Getting The Ray Gun in MW3 Zombies

Discover how to get the coveted Ray Gun schematic in MW3 Zombies. Learn strategies to increase your drop rate and craft this powerful Wonder Weapon.

Alright, let's talk about getting the Ray Gun in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies. This is one of those awesome Wonder Weapons, but getting its schematic isn't exactly a walk in the park. It's got a pretty low drop rate, so we need to be smart about how we go about it.

The main way to snag the schematic is by exploring the High Threat Zones in Deadbolt. Enemies there are no joke, so before you even think about heading in, make sure you're geared up. Grab some good Perks, get a Legendary rarity weapon, and seriously, Pack-a-Punch it to the max. Once you're ready, dive into those High Threat Zones and start grinding out Contracts. Keep at it, and eventually, you'll get lucky and find the schematic in a Reward Rift.

Now, this is crucial: the moment you get the schematic, ditch everything else and make a beeline for the exfil. You absolutely do not want to die and lose it. Back in the main menu, head to your Rucksack, pick an empty slot, and use the Schematic Crafting option to craft the Ray Gun. Just a heads-up, there's a 48-hour cooldown on crafting it, so save it for those really important matches.

If you're not looking for the permanent unlock or just want a shot at the Ray Gun sooner, you can also try your luck with the Mystery Boxes or find Acquisition Stashes in Mercenary Strongholds. These won't give you the schematic, but they'll let you wield the Ray Gun for a bit.
