Here’s how to get and use the Scorcher Wonder Weapon in MW3 Zombies, a powerful weapon that can help you survive and eliminate the toughest of enemies.

MW3 Zombies has become a perfect third mode for players who want to escape the chaos of multiplayer and Warzone. The undead mode has received a lot of content over the two seasons of Modern Warfare 3, including new missions and even bosses.

Arguably the most sought-after items in Zombies are Wonder Weapons, and that hasn’t changed with the open-world extraction-based format that MW3 introduced. In fact, the devs even decided to bring a new Wonder Weapon to the game in Season 1 called the Scorcher, and it continues to be extremely powerful.

Wonder Weapons like the Ray Gun and Wunderwaffe are pretty straightforward and Zombies fans will know how they work, but what about MW3’s Scorcher? Here’s everything you need to know about MWZ’s Scorcher Wonder Weapon, including how to get and use it.

How to get the Scorcher in MW3 Zombies

To get the Scorcher in MW3 Zombies, players will either need to get lucky with the Mystery Box or obtain it through a Reward Rift after completing a High Threat Zone Contract or the Legacy Fortress.

You can either get the Scorcher as a reward or you’ll get it in a Weapon Case, which will allow you to exfil with it and use it in a different match. If you exfil while using the Scorcher in one of your weapon slots, you will get bonus XP for extracting with it, but it will be destroyed and you’ll have to get it again in the next match.

Killing a Warlord boss will net you a Wonder Weapon Case, but it could be any of them, so you have to get lucky for it to be the one you want.

You can also get a Schematic for the Scorcher Wonder Weapon in MW3 Zombies by defeating Greylorm, one of the game’s hidden bosses that are located in the Aether Storm. Once you manage to defeat the giant worm, a Reward Rift will appear, which has the chance of having the Scorcher Schematic inside of it.

Once you have the Scorcher Schematic, you will be able to craft the Wonder Weapon every time the cooldown has depleted in the crafting menu of Schematics.

How does the Scorcher work in MW3 Zombies?

The Scorcher is a Wonder Weapon in MW3 Zombies with infinite ammo that has a charged shot and a single shot. Both shoot a powerful red laser beam, but the charged shot leaves a beam that lasts for some time, damaging and killing zombies that are in its vicinity.

You can also use the Scorcher as a mobility tool, as holding down the L2/LT button (aim down sight button) will see you charge up the weapon and launch you directly up into the air to redeploy. You can then parachute to break your fall and relocate away from zombies or to high ground.

Can you Pack-a-Punch the Scorcher in MWZ?

Yes, you can Pack-a-Punch the Scorcher Wonder Weapon in MW3 Zombies. However, you’ll need to Pack-a-Punch the Scorcher at least three times for it to be as powerful as it can be in the High Threat Zone, otherwise, it can be pretty underwhelming.

Well, there you have it, that was everything you need to know about the Scorcher in MW3 Zombies. For more guides, be sure to check out:
