Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 <\/strong>features plenty of unique weapons<\/a> that are available in Zombies Mode only. Throughout a playthrough of Zombies, players can upgrade their weapons in a variety of different ways. But what if players regret making an upgrade to their weapon? Here, we will go over how to refund weapon upgrades in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How To Refund Weapon Upgrades In Modern Warfare 3 Zombies<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are ways to remove weapon upgrades for Modern Warfare 3 Zombies. (Picture: Activision)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If there’s a weapon a player is using in Modern Warfare 3<\/a> Zombies that they don’t want upgraded, they’ll need to put in a bit of effort to remove that upgrade. Luckily, there’s a method to downgrade Zombies weapons<\/strong>. The key to do so is on a Tombstone west of Old Town.<\/p>\n

There’s a tombstone that has two rifles and three swords around it. On that tombstone, players can pay their respects to the tombstone<\/strong>. A portal will open and then players will have the ability to refund their weapon upgrades on the weapon that they currently have equipped.<\/p>\n

Modern Warfare 3 Zombies Pay Respects Easter Egg<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Zombie Refund mechanic in MW3 Zombies is actually an old internet reference. (Picture: Activision)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This refund feature is an Easter Egg. In Call of Duty Advance Warfare, there was a sequence where players had to press F to pay their respects<\/strong> to a dead soldier. Press F to Pay Respects quickly became a meme that people still reference today.<\/p>\n

That moment has been recaptured in Modern Warfare 3 Zombie Mode via the upgrade refund mechanic. Players will need to pay their respects and then they can remove Pack-a-Punch levels, Ammo Mods, and Rarity of the weapon. This is a very useful mechanic for players so it will be important to quickly learn where the grave is for all runs of Zombies Mode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
