This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III guide explains where to find Mimics in MW3 Zombies.
MW3‘s Zombies is different from previous iterations of the mode. It’s an open-world experience combined with the extraction-based looter shooter gameplay of DMZ.
As such, players are tasked with exploring an undead-ridden Urzikstan to acquire valuable loot and weapons while completing missions. Along the way, players will encounter countless standard zombies as well as so-called “special zombies”. These include Mimics, Disciples, and Manglers.
Mimics are arguably the most recognisable and notable for their horrific appearance complete with large glowing mouths. While there aren’t any missions in MW3 Zombies that specifically require players to kill Mimics, the game does include daily challenges that feature this objective.
As such, players may want to know what the best way to find Mimics is and where you need to go. Having played many, many hours of Zombies, we have a solid strategy for locating them.
Where to find Mimics in MW3 Zombies
This is where to find Mimics in MW3 Zombies:
Mimics are most commonly found in the orange and red zones on the map. Given that the red zone is significantly more difficult, we recommend heading to the orange zone to hunt Mimics.
A sure-fire way of finding Mimics is to begin an Outlast contract in the orange zone. Once you head to the objective and activate it, hordes of zombies will attack. A number of Mimics will appear as part of the horde, so keep an eye out for them.
Outlast contracts will continue until you either die or complete the objective. Therefore, if you wish to use the Outlast contract to find Mimics, you can keep it going for as long as you need to and they should keep spawning intermittently.
Naturally, you should be cautious when using this method. That’s because it’s easy to become overwhelmed during Outlast contracts. So, be sure to go in prepared with Pack-a-Punched weapons, self-revives, a three-plate armor vest, and Perk-a-Colas.
