What is Extraction Story Mission in MW3 Zombies?


As soon as you land in Urzikstan, a lady will contact you named Dr. Jansen. She is the one who helped Victor Zakhaev to get the Aether Pieces, and now that the situation is going out of control, she realizes the mistake she had made. So, now she wants to help the Deadbolt operators to stop him. The Extraction story mission will require you to find Dr. Jansen. That’s the main objective of this mission.

This may seem a simple thing to do, but once you start, you will know the challenges. Before that, let’s check the tasks:

  • Deploy to Dr. Jensen’s coordinates.
  • Bring Dr. Jansen in for questioning.

These two objectives must be done in a single game. Now the mission objectives are clear. So, let’s check the way to complete these objectives without dying.

Best Way to Find and Exfil With Dr. Jensen

To start with the mission, load into the game as you generally do and start playing normally. Kill zombies, complete contracts, gather cash, etc. The primary aim is to survive as long as possible until the Extraction point opens. Once you complete some activities and survive, you will notice a new Extraction Zone appears on the map. The location will be marked on your map. Open the map and check for the blue symbol that shows a running human (Check the above map for help). That’s the location you must reach.

If the zone is close to your location, you can run to reach it; otherwise, use a vehicle to reach the location. A chopper will be waiting for you there. Board it and it will take you to the new location where you must search for Dr. Jansen.

After you get off the helicopter, your task will be to locate the Communication Tower to detect the location of Dr. Jansen. The distance marker will help you find the comms tower. If you are confused, locate the building in the image above. At this point, note that it is not easy to travel through this area. Zombies and soldiers are all over there. If you don’t have enough ammo, armor plates, and self-revives, you may not survive.

Once you enter the Comms tower, make your way to the top, and you will see the number pad to activate the tower. Interact with it and once the tower is activated, the exact location of Dr. Jansen will be marked on your map with a blue dot (check the map below).

Mark it on the map, and start traveling. It will be another deadly fight with waves of zombies and soldiers. Follow the marker and you will eventually locate Dr. Jansen. The first time you find her, you will see she is trying to erase the data, and the door is locked. There’s no way you can immediately open it. You must wait for some time. Precisely, you have to kill zombies and hear people talking in the comms for a few minutes. After that, she will come out herself.

Once she is out, proceed to the last objective. Take her to the exfil point. Actually, you don’t need to do anything. She will take you to the exfil point. Just follow her while clearing the way. Because she is not a regular companion or squad mate, you don’t need to protect her or revive her. She knows how to handle the zombies and can take care of herself. Maybe you find her killing more enemies than you. Survive until the helicopter comes. The helipad is open and the zombies will start diving on you to stop you from boarding the helicopter. That’s the crucial part, if you die, the entire mission will end in an instant. So, be very careful until you board the chopper with Dr. Jansen to complete the mission.

That’s all you need to do to complete the Extraction mission in MW3 Zombies. This mission is the final mission of Act 1, so you can guess the height of challenges to face. It will be best if you take at least a 4-player team to complete this mission. We recommend doing that because it’s important to complete this mission in one go. You can’t resume it if you die. You have to start from the beginning. In these scenarios, teammates help a lot. With teammates handling, the swarm of zombies becomes a lot easier.

It’s not that solo players can’t do that, but you must be a well-skilled player to finish it solo. Additionally, we suggest having an LMG or SMG to avoid frequent reloading. Also, if you can take a friendly Hell Hound, it will be a significant advantage for the solo players. Of course, you have to do it before you go to the extraction zone in the first place. The final location will have ammo boxes, so you can refill ammo whenever required, but you will see a scarcity of hiding locations.

The extraction mission is probably one of the most interesting yet the most challenging missions to complete. The objectives are not challenging, but the actual task is to survive. So, don’t rush the process, be patient and careful throughout the way. Otherwise, you must give a hefty price if you die.
