Don’t worry, if you are not aware of how to get the skin. This guide will give you a detailed walkthrough.

Modern Warfare 3 Bone Collector Skin Obtaining Process- Explained

Generally, Operator skins are acquired as rewards for completing missions or have to be purchased from the in-game shop. Fortunately, the Bone Collector skin can be acquired for free as it is part of a mission reward. However, there’s a twist. You can’t get it in the main Modern Warfare 3 Campaign mission; instead, players have to load into the Zombies mode and complete the final story mission of the mode, which is an Act 3 mission: Defeat Zakhaev. The Bone Collector skin is a reward for completing this mission.

If you have been playing the Zombies mode, or have played it a few times previously, you must be aware that this mode features three Acts, and all these acts are divided into different tiers that contain multiple missions to complete. Now, considering that in the Zombies mode, all the acts and tiers must be completed sequentially, you will reach the story mission of Act 3 after completing around 47 missions. So, the process of getting the Bone Collector skin is lengthy and will take a playtime of more than 24 hours.

Now that you have the information about getting the skin, let’s take a look into the steps of completing the Defeat Zakhaev mission.

Objectives of the Defeat Zakhaev Mission in MW3 Zombies

We will surely progress to the mission completion process but before that, you must know the objectives of the mission. In the Zombies mode, the missions are not straightforward ones to be completed without any prior preparation, and to get prepared, players must know about the objectives of the final story mission of the mode. We have discussed them below:

Deploy to Zakhaev’s Stronghold.
Cleanse the Exclusion Zone.

These objectives will take some time and effort. So, without wasting time, let’s jump into how to complete them.

Steps to Complete Defeat Zakhaev Mission in MW3 Zombies

As the final story mission of the Zombies mode, this must be the toughest mission to complete, but once you complete the Act 2 story mission Shepherd, you will find this one a bit easier. To start the mission, make sure you have a level 3 Pack-A-Punch weapon, a three-plate vest, at least one Self-Revive Kit, and the best perks you have. You can choose your favorite weapon for this fight, but it will be best if you have SMG or any other powerful weapon with a large barrel to avoid frequent reloading.

Finally, we will recommend you bring a four-player squad for the mission. You can complete it solo, but that requires a lot of skills. The entire mission will let you fight waves of mercenaries. So, having teammates will give you some advantage. They can back you up in every difficult situation. Therefore, try bringing companions to make the process easier.

When you are prepared, dive into a match and open your tac-map to locate the exfil point named, ‘Defeat Zahaev.’ Travel to the location. You can check the map above for reference. Hop on the helicopter and it will take you to a different location where you have to complete this mission.

Once you land, you will be tasked to enter a facility that is marked on the map. Your quest marker will show you the way to your destination. You will have to fight hoards of mercenaries to progress and enter the location. This location has shipping containers that have mercenaries inside them, kill them, and progress further until you enter the main area where enrichment devices are located. You have to plant explosives on these devices.

Progress towards your new objective. You have to locate and activate Jansen’s Neutralizer. Well, this device is located on the western edge. You will see the location on the map. Follow the marker and proceed while killing the mercenaries. This device is protected by an army of enemies. Clear the area, and power on the neutralizer. Once this task is done, you have to complete the final task of the mission- fighting the Aether Worm Orcus.

This fight will give you a hard time. Orcus is a giant Aether worm, with powerful moves. Fortunately, it has only a few moves. The first one is the laser beam move. Next, it will shoot Aether orbs at players. Finally, Orcus goes underground and emerges beneath players throwing them into the sky. Players can easily avoid these attacks by watching out for the moves. Roll on your right or left to ignore these attacks.

While defending, players must stay backside of the boss and shoot at the purple glowing spots on its body to deal damage. The battle arena will have covers that you can use to save yourself. But remember, the boss is not the only enemy to fight. You will get mercenaries to fight simultaneously.

If you die at this point, your efforts will all wasted. Remember, the Defeat Zakhaev mission can’t be completed in installments. It must be done in one go. At this point, you probably feel the need for companions to deal with all these enemies. Once the health bar of the boss gets emptied and the boss dies, your mission will be done and you will receive the rewards for completing the mission, including Bone Collector Skin.

That’s all you need to know about how to get Bone Collector skin in Modern Warfare 3. Though it will take a long time to be acquired, its uniqueness is worth all effort.
