It’s by far the most interesting and fun game mode of Modern Warfare 3 Season 5 reloaded. Generally, players are divided into two different teams – Cats and Fish.

While cats are equipped with the new Torque 35 compound bow and the Spear, fish operators, at the same time, must find a way to dispose of their enemies. If fish operators manage to infect all the cats or survive the time limit, they win.

Initially introduced in Modern Warfare (2019), your primary objective in Cyber Attack is to locate the EMP device and disable the enemy data center. In this no-respawn game mode, both teams battle for control of a centrally placed EMP device.

Retrieve the device and then plant it at the enemy’s data center. If a player on the other team ends up with the device in hand, they can then plant it at the opposite data center.
