How to get and use all Aether Tool rarities in Modern Warfare Zombies (MWZ)

The Zombies mode in Modern Warfare 3 has changed – instead of wave-based combat, you’ll be dealing with them on an open-world map. You’re going to need all the help you can get. Something that can assist you is Aether Tool rarities, and we’ll show you how to get and use all of them in Modern Warfare Zombies (MWZ).

Modern Warfare Zombies (MWZ): How to get and use all Aether Tool rarities

Like Acquisitions, these are one-time-use items that can make your weapon even stronger. It starts at the basic level, then as you upgrade it goes all the way to Epic. And there are bonuses to collect every time you make the weapon better. But you need to successfully escape, or everything you have will be left behind. 

How to get Aether Tools

You can come across these items in a few ways. You can find them by completing challenges and missions, loot caches, or you can find them as rewards. However, these methods aren’t guaranteed to drop Aether Tools. It’s all up to chance.

One surefire method to earn some is by completing certain missions in Modern Warfare: Zombies. It seems like the reward for the fifth mission in the first act will drop an Aether Tool.

Another way to get these tools is by finding schematics for them in the world. Once you do, exfil, and then craft one. This way, you’ll have a head start because you already have an Aether Tool as soon as you drop in. However, the schematics are pretty rare, you might have to search the entire map for one.

Using Aether Tools

Luckily, using them is easier than finding them. All you have to do is open your Rucksack and navigate to the Aether Tool. Press it and it’ll apply to your weapon. The color will change depending on the rarity, so you’ll know which weapon has been upgraded. 

I also recommend using Pack-a-Punch on your weapon. The damage will increase tenfold, making zombie killing a breeze.
