Ascension Mission Objectives

This season the Zombies mode has adapted the style of another renowned CoD mode: DMZ. If you have played DMZ, you probably remember the division of missions in that mode. The MW3 Zombies have imitated the exact method but replaced the factions with acts and tiers. So, in the MW3 Zombies, you have to complete these missions to explore the entire story. Without completing one act, you can’t unlock the next one. Therefore, going through the Act 2 Tier 2 mission Ascension is compulsory.

If you are unsure of the mission, let’s check out the below objective:

  • Use a Redeploy Drone to Free Fall or Parachute to a Different Threat Zone.

This is the only objective of the mission and it seems a bit confusing for sure but trust me this is one of the easiest missions you can get in the game where you have no chance to fight any enemies. However, if you are not sure how to complete the mission, the next section of the guide will help you solve it.

How to Complete the Act 2 Tier 2 Mission Ascension in MW3 Zombies?


MW3 Zombies has brought tons of unique missions that let players do different activities and some of them are peculiar enough to understand the exact process to complete them. If you are trying to understand what you should do in the Ascension mission, let me explain to you in a simple way that this mission requires you to activate a redeploy drone mission and use your parachute to travel to a different threat zone from where you have started the mission. Though the straightforward approach of the mission may let you wonder why this is an Act 2 mission, the peculiarity of the objective gives the answer immediately.

To begin with this mission the first thing you need to know is to understand the threat zone clearly. The Urzikstan map is divided into three threat zones. The grey portion of the map is the low-threat zone where players will face lower-level enemies. Next, the orange section is the medium threat zone where players will get slightly leveled up zombies and other enemies. Finally, comes the red zone and the most dangerous part of the map where all the higher-level zombies and enemies roam.

Now, the mission requires you to start the mission from any of these threat zones and fly to another. You can start the mission from the red zone and fly to the orange zone or start it in the orange zone and fly to the red zone or grey zone. However, we recommend you to start this mission from the low-threat zone and land in the orange or better in the red zone.

Redeploy Drone Contract Location

To start the process, first, you have to open your tac-map and locate the ‘Redeploy Drone’ contracts on the map. These can be found randomly anywhere and marked with a drone icon on the map. For the veteran players, it will take an instant to find one. But if you are confused, you can check the above map for reference.

Once you locate it, travel to the location and you will immediately see an iron stand with a rope. Interact with it and it will take you up in the sky. Deploy your glider and start flying towards another zone. Open your map and check if you are flying in the right direction. Ensure you don’t land before you enter the new zone. If you do, your mission will be wasted and you have to start it from the beginning. So, fly with the parachute, until you enter a new threat zone.

The simplicity of the objective may get you overwhelmed and you may neglect the required protections. Don’t do that. Make sure you check the surrounding area before you interact with the rope. Also, while flying, check the area from the sky to find a safe place to land. Don’t randomly land anywhere without proper weapons, especially if you are landing in the red zone.

Once the mission is done, players will receive the rewards for completing the Act 2 Tier 2 Ascension mission.

Rewards for the Ascension Mission

Ascension Mission Reward

Call of Duty missions are renowned for their exciting rewards. No matter what the mission objective is, nothing comes without any reward. Similarly, the Ascension mission also has rewards for completing the task. Though the objective is easy, the reward is not simple. If you complete the mission, you will get the following items:

  • Pistol Partner Emblem
  • 2000 XP.

Emblems are totally cosmetic items in COD without any contribution to the fight. Players can attach it to their character to give them a personal touch. Emblems are part of your in-game identity and whenever other players try to find you in Headquarters or leaderboards, they will see the emblem you have equipped. So, emblems are one of the potential methods to show your skills and how much you have grinded the game.

On the other hand, XP is one of the best things to level up your operator and unlock new perks and equipment. If you get 2000 XP, you will reach a higher level instantly.

That’s everything you should do to complete the Act 2 Tier 2 mission Ascension in MW3 Zombies. This is a solo mission that players can easily complete without any help.
