MW3 VORTEX MAPS REVEALED
The Season 1 blogpost confirmed that the MW3 Vortex mode will be playable on Satan’s Quarry, Sporeyard, and Tetanus. These zombified map reskins will dramatically alter the looks of Quarry, Scrapyard and Rust respectively.
EARLY GAMEPLAY & EMBARGO
With the launch of Season 1, the Ray Gun was added to MWIII Multiplayer files and has been labeled a new weapon. Unfortunately, cheaters have forced loaded the Ray Gun early, and have been killing other players with it prior to the launch of Vortex.
Call of Duty took to Twitter to confirm that to combat these cheaters, anyone caught using the Ray Gun early will inflict self damage, on top of further repercussions from the Ricochet anti-cheat.
Creators who attended the private capture event for Season 1 will reportedly be sharing early gameplay of the Vortex mode, prior to the launch of the mid season update in 2024. The embargo will likely lift just a few days before the beginning of the Vortex Event.
HOW TO PLAY VORTEX AND USE THE RAY GUN
It’s been confirmed that the Vortex mode will be a Free for All experience, with one Ray Gun spawning in which players will have to fight over. The Ray Gun is confirmed to be a one hit kill, and the first player to reach the score limit will win.
Vortex will only be playable on three maps listed above, but it’s likely the ray gun will be seen again in future Zombie crossovers within MW3 Multiplayer. Vortex is expected to be a limited time mode that’s available until the end of Season one.
