Your survival abilities will now be rewarded. Here are all the exfil streak bonuses and discounts for the new Containment Levels mechanic in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies.
All Exfil Streak Containment Level bonuses in Modern Warfare Zombies
To exfil out of a round of zombie killing in Modern Warfare Zombies is a feat on its own, especially if you have already dealt with all the most powerful zombies in the High-Threat area and even the Dark Aether Rift. I cannot count the number of times I have been completely mauled by the most random zombie ever, preventing me from getting out of Urzikstan with all my precious loot. Well, the devs noticed our efforts to survive a zombie apocalypse and now they have introduced a new tiered system called Containment Levels.
This system works as follows: every time you successfully exfil out of Urzikstan, you will gain a Containment Level. There are a total of 100 levels that are spanned across 10 different tiers, which each exfil adding to your streak. Every time you reach a new tier, you will get a starting reward for the next time you venture into a Zombies match. To have starting Essence, Armor Plates, and even discounts for the various in-game boosts sounds like a great deal to me, a guy who for whatever reason decides to venture solo into zombie territory and hopelessly grind a bit of change.
If you are killed and cannot exfil successfully, you will lose only one Containment level tier, meaning that you won’t lose the totality of your progress. This makes this mechanic really fair and rewarding because – knowing my luck – I’m certain I will get destroyed at level 99, so at least all I have to do is level 25 levels instead of starting from scratch. Here are all the Containment Levels, their level requirement, and their bonuses for Modern Warfare Zombies.
| Tier | Level Required | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | Start with 500 Essence |
| 2 | 5 | Start with 5 Armor Plates |
| 3 | 8 | Start with 1000 Essence |
| 4 | 12 | 30% discount on Perk-A-Cola costs |
| 5 | 20 | Start with 1500 Essence |
| 6 | 30 | 30% bonus on Contract Essence Rewards |
| 7 | 40 | Start with 2500 Essence |
| 8 | 50 | 50% discount on Mystery Box costs |
| 9 | 75 | Start with 5000 Essence |
| 10 | 100 | 20% discount on Pack-A-Punch costs |
To increase your survival chances – and since playing it safely is not an option in a mode such as MWZ – be sure to infil into Urzikstan with a full team of friendly Operators with the best loadout you can carry. If you get knocked out, they will be able to revive you, and defeating the stronger zombies will not be as difficult as trying to solo your way to victory. Other than that, rely on your skills and team communication.
