NEW ACT 4 STORY MISSION
Rumors suggest a new story mission and cinematic in season 3 are set to focus on Ava, going into a new Dark Aether rift and cleansing artifacts. A new boss known as the ‘Champion’ is also said to make an appearance.

The items that players will need to find either inside the ACT 4 mission, or in Urzikstan to then enter the new rift do include:
- Toy Giraffe
- Crayon
- Laptop
- Journal
NEW DARK AETHER RIFT
MW3 Zombies Season 3 will unsurprisingly be sending players into another section of Al Mazrah. The Zarqwa Hydroelectric point of interest will become zombified in the new ACT 4 mission, then through the unlockable rift that players can enter upon a quest completion.

NEW PVP MODE & WEAPON CASES
For the last few months, a PvPvE mode for MW3 Zombies has been leaked, with little details being known about when the mode will release. Following the Season 2 reloaded patch, new information was datamined about how the mode may work.

Apart from being able to kill other players, and possibly steal their loot, Warlords are also said to make an appearance and may even drop new weapon cases with schematics. These warlords may just be the same ones present on Urzikstan, with an additional challenge of having to face other players while going after these bosses.
NEW RUMORED SCHEMATICS
Oddly enough, the rumored schematics for MW3 Zombies Season 3 aren’t in line with ones we’ve previously gotten. Instead, players will need to scavenge pieces of clothing off of warlords, including one that hasn’t released yet.

It’s unclear how players can obtain these schematics, but it’s likely these items can be found in the new Dark Aether Rift:
- Beret (From Legacy)
- Chemist Mask (From Keres)
- Vest (From Rainmaker)
- Mod (From DOKKABEI
NEW WARLORD BOSSES
Several new Fortress Warlords were discovered for MW3 Zombies that may be added throughout the duration of Season 3 and beyond. Treyarch recently confirmed that Warlords will be on a rotation cycle, meaning players will see a different one spawn in their match of MWZ throughout each match they play.

The leaked Warlord boss names include:
- Rainmaker
- Garid
- Archangel
- Bronco
- Ursa
- Kolenske
- Sokolov
- Payback
NEW PERKS OR ENEMY TYPES
Kevin Drew sadly confirmed in the Season 2 creator briefing that there weren’t any new perks or enemy types planned for the future of MW3 Zombies. While this could be subject to change, it’s likely we end up getting HVT variants of certain enemies, as we saw in the countermeasures ACT 4 mission for Season 2 Reloaded.
