The new schematics in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies have become the center of attention for many players after the Season 2 Reloaded update.
To help you along the way, the steps in this guide will make unlocking the new schematics in MW3 Zombies way easier.
We’ll break down the process of getting them into two parts: unlocking the Rift solo and then completing the Elder Sigil version of it. The new schematics like Mags of Holding, Blood Burner Key, and V-R11 Wonder Weapon in MW3 Zombies help in crafting new tools for the upcoming challenges in the game.

Unlock new schematics in MW3 Zombies
Before you start to unlock the new schematics in MW3 Zombies, it’s important to set a good loadout for the job. Choose an AR or SMG at least at Tier 2 Pack-A-Punch to ensure you have sufficient firepower. Other perks that will also help are Death Perception and Gas Mask.
Unlocking the Rift Solo
Once you enter the new Dark Aether mission head immediately to the boat to get the first item. The quickest route is to run backward upon spawn, after a short while you will see a huge signboard. You will have to climb the signboard and from there you need to perform a couple of big jumps to land on the boat. Once you reach the boat, activate the pedestal on it and kill the zombies in under 30 seconds to obtain the MMA gloves.
After getting the gloves, you will continue with the objectives. At various pedestals around the map, you will have to complete challenges to obtain the rift rewards. For example one of the pedestals near the shopping mall offers the Perforated Target, which you can get by scoring headshot kills against the zombies. Another pedestal on the further north side of the shopping center demands you to use alternate ammo types (Napon Burst, Cryo Freeze, Dead Wire, Brain Rock). Collect all the remaining artifacts.
Getting the new schematics in MW3 Zombies
With the three artifacts in hand, revisit the first Elder Sigil rift location (opposite from its original placement). This rift will glow red, signaling a Tier 5 threat zone. Make sure you prepare for this beforehand as the challenge is tough. Similar to the original Elder Sigil rift, complete contracts that appear throughout the map. Completing these within the reduced 15-minute timer unlocks the schematics.
In total you will get three rare schematics
- Mags of Holding Schematic: Increases your maximum ammunition capacity.
- Blood Burner Bike Schematic: High-speed zombie-slaying motorcycle.
- V-R11 Wonder Weapon Schematic: A powerful weapon that decimates the undead.
That covers everything you need to know about the new schematics in MW3 Zombies Season 2 Reloaded update.
