Also, be sure to include the Bring ‘Em On mission on your sheet. If you forget these, the Cyphered Tablet won’t drop as usual.

While this happens, every enemy you defeat will repair your armor, making it tougher for them to bring you down. Just be careful, especially if you don’t have a good weapon to defend yourself against a large group of zombies.

Completing the previous objective can also make the Cyphered Tablet spawn in MW3. Let’s say you’re playing the Hands Off mission where you’ll need 10 mercenary kills with a sentry gun. The Cyphered Tablet shows up after you’ve taken down the 10th mercenary. You can spot the item easily as it looks like a tablet and is marked as a quest item when you aim at it.

The Cyphered Tablet spawns after you complete all the other mission objectives and defeat the last enemy in the area. Check around dead enemies and press the interact button to grab it. Remember, the tablet won’t show up in your inventory, and you can only use it once. If you die while getting it, you’ll have to redo the final part of the mission to make it spawn again.
