Ghost Operator and Zombie in MW3

Zombies returns to Call of Duty in November’s Modern Warfare 3 and to celebrate, you can get your hands on an undead Ghost skin in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone that will carry over to Modern Warfare 3. Here’s how to get the Zombie Ghost Operator skin in Call of Duty.

Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to 2022’s Modern Warfare 2, bringing highly requested features and mechanics, classic maps from the original MW2, and the fan-favorite Zombies mode. While the full reveal will be at Call of Duty Next, the devs have started teasing what players can expect.

Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies takes place in an “open-world, player-versus-environment” with “the largest Call of Duty Zombies map ever,” but before it arrives, the devs have given Zombies fans a little treat with the Zombie Ghost Operator skin.

This new Operator skin turns fan-favorite character Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley into one of the undead, so here’s how to unlock the skin in Modern Warfare 2, Warzone, and Modern Warfare 3 thanks to the content carrying forward.
