How to complete Automated Backup mission in MW3 zombies and get its rewards

Looking for how to complete Automated Backup mission in MW3? You’ve come to the right place. Although the zombies mode missions aren’t as interesting as the campaign story missions in MW3, they do keep you engaged throughout. And once you get into one of those missions, you best be ready to run and shoot a lot as the zombies never stop coming at you. 

To complete each of the Act missions in MW3 zombies mode, you’ll be tasked with finding various items that have been scattered throughout Urzikstan. And oftentimes these missions will not only require you to find an item, but you might also have to transport the item to a particular location. Before we dive into the Automatic Backup mission guide, we suggest going through our MW3 zombies tips and tricks. 

How to complete Automated Backup in MW3 zombies

In this particular mission in MW3 Zombies Act 1 tier 3, you must locate and activate three Deadbolt Turrets scattered across Urzikstan’s Threat Zones. And that’s not all, you’ll also need to use ammo mods to complete the mission. Although Turret Circuits are commonly found all over Urzikstan, they are not the item required to complete the mission. Instead, players must seek out a specific circuit known as ‘Cryo Freeze Turret Circuit.’

Finding the ammo mods 

The first thing you need to do is find the ammo mod Circuit Boards. These are rare blue items that you get from completing objectives across Urzikstan. I have spent a few hours playing the MW3 zombies and the best place you can go to increase your chances of getting ammo mods is inside an Infested Stronghold. You’ll have to kill a bunch of zombies for a while but it shouldn’t take long for one of the many reward coaches to give you an ammo mod Circuit Board.

Explore, explore, explore

The best place to get ammo mods and many other items is from an Infested Stronghold. So if you’ve got a good weapon and ammo, don’t be afraid to start a fight with the undead.

Locating all Deadbolt Turrets

Now once you’ve gotten the ammo mod Circuit Board, simply open the map and go to each individual Turret location on the map. Whichever Turret you approach with the ammo mods can start up the turret. So that’s what you need to do for all three turrets to complete the Automated Backup mission in MW3 zombies.
