Season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 delivers the first main Easter egg quest for Zombies. This is a multi-step Easter egg that unlocks access to the Dark Aether via the rifts, and it allows you to earn this season's powerful new schematics. Here we'll guide you through completing it.

You need to complete the new Season 1 Bad Signal story mission to start this Easter egg. You'll want to make sure you're properly set up before attempting this mission, meaning you'll want to save yourself some time by loading into the match with as much gear as you can.

Here we provide a full guide for the Bad Signal story mission, including all the gear you'll need to take out the boss. Follow this guide and make sure to collect the Locked Diary item from the reward rift. Exit the mission to extract with this item.

The Locked Diary from the story mission rewards is one of four items you need. You don't need to get these remaining pieces in any specific order, but you'll want to spawn in with certain equipment or ammo mods to make the task easier.

You can always get an item and exfil for use at a later time, or you can essentially complete them all in one match, if you're really prepared and efficient with your time. For this, I'd recommend spawning in with a gun with range, the Brain Rot ammo mod, Deadwire ammo
