This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III guide explains who Warlord is in Zombies and where to find him.


MW3 Zombies (MWZ) marks a significant departure from the traditional CoD Zombies setup established over 15 years. Rather than simply enduring rounds, the game now places greater emphasis on missions and gathering loot.

In MWZ, the narrative unfolds across three distinct acts, each comprising various levels with their own unique missions. Players delve into every corner of Urzikstan with the aim of completing different objectives.

Some missions are direct and linear, while others require players to find elusive items, creatures, or formidable bosses that can be difficult to locate.

One mission like this is Storm The Castle, which is a Tier 3 mission in Act III. It requires players to complete a Merc Camp, clear a Merc Stronghold and to defeat the Warlord boss before collecting Strauss’s research.

However, the mission briefing does not clarify who Warlord is or where he is located. So, let’s take a look.

Who is Warlord in MW3 Zombies?

Warlord is a mercenary boss in MWZ. Despite the mission briefing referring to him by that name, his name is actually “Legacy” as shown by the health bar that appears when you fight him.

With the reveal of a new Warlord boss in Season One, it appears that the name is a generic term used to refer to mercenary bosses in MWZ.

Legacy has a moustache and a red beret which make him easily distinguishable from other mercenary troops.

Where to find Warlord location in MW3 Zombies

The Warlord boss Legacy is located inside Legacy’s Fortress at map coordinates D2.

To get inside, you must acquire the Legacy’s Fortress keycard by raiding a safe inside a Merc Stronghold. This gives you access to the fortress’ central building where Legacy can be found on the top floor.
