Understanding mission objectives properly is the key to completing missions without any trouble. To understand a mission objective, you must check the objectives before you start it and make your strategy accordingly. At least, in the case of Heist, you should do it. So, check the below activities before you start the mission:

Complete an Aether Extractor Contract
Collect a filled Essence Container from an Aether Extract Contract

These objectives seem to be easy ones and you may wonder why these tasks are included in the tier 4 mission. But let me tell you these tasks are not as simple as they look. So, if you are a newcomer, you must know the steps to progress through this mission.

Proper Strategy to Complete Act 2 Tier 4 Mission Heist in MW3 Zombies

Before progressing forward into the steps, let me tell you this mission is not recommended to be done alone. These objectives are looking easy, but the fact is different. So, it is better if you have at least a 3-player squad. In the Zombies mode players can complete all the missions solo, but trust me Heist will give you a hard time completing it alone. You may need a few deployments to complete it. Besides a squad, you also need to have enough armor plates, ammo, powerful weapons, and self-revive to start the mission.

It will be best if you have Pack-A-Punch your weapon to level 2, which will require to to grind 15000 Essence. To earn the required essence, we suggest you clear a few infested strongholds and Aether Nests. The chests inside these locations have enough cash to enable you to have level 2 Pack-A-Punch. Remember, level 2 Pack-A-Punch machines can be found in the medium threat zone and you have to have a level 1 Pack-A-Punch weapon to level it up to level 2.

Once you are ready with the weapons and equipment, let’s start with the first objective. These two objectives are connected and must be done sequentially. So, the first thing you need to do is to find an Aether Extractor contract. These contracts are spread randomly over the map and you can identify them by the rocket icon. All the zones have these contracts, but we recommend not going to high-threat zones. Instead, try finding one in the low-threat zone.

These contracts require you to activate three rockets or Aether Extractors but the process will spawn waves of zombies and mercenaries that you need to defeat. So, once you mark the contract, travel to the location and accept it. Next, the Extractor locations will be marked on your map. Go to the location and activate the rockets one by one.

To do this, you must approach them and trigger the ‘Overload Aether Extractor’ prompt. This process will take a few seconds and the hardest part is to survive this time. These extractors will be in an open area and zombies will attack you from every side. It’s hard to hide as you won’t find many covers. This is when you need your squadmates to back you up. While you activate the Extractor, your teammates can take care of the zombies. This mission must be completed in one go and if you die, you have to start the process from the beginning. There’s no other alternative to it. So ensure your safety.

Once the first objective is done, the second one will be easier to complete. As soon as the third Extractor detonates, a reward rift will spawn. Approach it, and on the ground, you will find the Essence Container. Pick it up and your mission will be done. You don’t need to exfil with it. So, as soon as you pick it up, the Heist mission is done and you will get the rewards.

What Are the Rewards For Completing Act 2 Tier 4 Mission Heist in MW3 Zombies?

If you are a veteran Call of Duty player, you probably hardly remember any mission that rewarded players with nothing. Generally, COD missions are renowned for their straightforward objectives and exciting rewards. In the Zombies mode, you can get items, that can’t be acquired otherwise. So, let’s check what you will get if you complete the Heist mission:

Cranial Adjustment Charm
2500 XP.

Well, weapon charms are cosmetic items that players can attach to their weapons. These items don’t have any benefit. Players can attach them to their weapons to give them a unique look and show their progress and how much they grind. Therefore, if you want to show off your progress, charms can be a good way to do so. On the other hand, XP can be a valuable reward if you want to level up. The more you level up your operator, the more you will unlock new perks and equipment. In that sense, the amount you get from the mission will give your rank a significant boost.

But if you are alone, it will take a few attempts to complete this mission. Anyway, if you have enough confidence in your skill, there’s no harm in trying it alone.
