Modern Warfare 3: Where to get Ascender for Highrise

Ascender required Highrise Modern Warfare 3

This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (MW3) guide explains where to get the Ascender in the Highrise mission.

Gamers who secured early access by pre-ordering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III are already able to check out its campaign.

In this latest iteration of the series, players once again step into the shoes of Task Force 141 members embarking on a global mission to confront the ultranationalist antagonist, Vladimir Makarov, and his Konni Group soldiers.

While Call of Duty campaigns have historically been known for their fast-paced linear missions and spectacular action sequences, MW3 mixes things up somewhat.

Rather than a string of scripted missions, the campaign primarily revolves around “open combat” scenarios. These offer players the freedom to complete missions in a way that suits them best. This approach includes opportunities to collect weapons, field upgrades, equipment, and more. One mission like this is ‘Highrise’.

In this mission, an apartment complex in St Petersburg has been taken over by Konni troops. TF141 must venture to the top of the tower blocks and locate one of Makarov’s top lieutenants.

As you explore the area, you will come across various ascend points. To use them, you need an Ascender. If you’re in search of this item, I’m here to provide you with all the details having completed it myself. Read on to find out more.

Where to get Ascender location for Highrise in Modern Warfare 3

This is the location of the Ascender in the Highrise mission in Modern Warfare 3:

The Ascender can be found at coordinates F4 on the 12th floor of the building.

If you want the Ascender to go up the elevator shaft at the start of the mission, don’t worry. There is a ladder on the back wall that you can use to go up the shaft.

Another Ascender can be found at coordinates H3 on the north east side of the building.

While searching for this useful piece of equipment, be careful to watch out for enemies. The area is absolutely crawling with them and Highrise’s narrow corrdiors make it easy to get overwhelmed.

Once you have the Ascender, you can use it at all the ascend points throughout the Highrise map.
