The second tier of Operation Deadbolt missions inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombieswill have players track down and destroy a convoy of armored vehicles and eliminate the enemy mercenaries guarding the convoy to acquire a mercenary stronghold keycard. Players will want to gear up their operator for a rough fightusing schematics and acquisitions, as the convoy is heavily guarded and the AI soldiers defending the truck will put up heavy resistance against players. It is highly recommended that players squad up and acquire high-level vests and weaponry before attempting this mission.
Interceptor Mission Objectives
The Interceptor mission has two objectives that players will need to complete:
Where to Find the Mercenary Convoy
Before searching for the convoy, players will want toacquire a vehicle, in case the convoy attempts to flee. Any vehicle will do, although players will have a bonus ofmovable cover by using an armored truck.Additionally, since the mercenaries use armored trucks, players can oftentemporarily remain undetected while near enemy mercenaries when in an armored truck, as the mercenaries will think players are also mercenaries.
Oncein a vehicle, players will want to search for the convoy on theeast side of the map in Urzikstan, near theHamza Bazaar just south of the Hadiqa Farms place of interest. Keep an eye on the mini-map forthree enemy trucks moving in unison, and once found,immediately move to high ground.If players can intercept the convoy right at the bazaar, there is a hill nearby that players can use for high ground and position the truck in the best position for the situation to use as cover.
Tips For Attacking the Convoy
When players find the convoy, the soldiers riding inside will bearmored and equipped with sniper rifles and machine guns,so be ready for a fight. Players should consider putting asuppressor and a thermal mid-range sight on their insured weaponto help with stealth and target acquisition when engaging the mercenaries. If players do not have their insured weapon available, there isa hidden cache in the ground on the hill just south of where the convoy spawns,check this cache if possible as it has a high chance of giving players a long-range rifle.
If players use an armored truck to drive to the convoy location, it will give them a few extra seconds to get into position.Once players are detected by the convoy, the soldiers will exit the vehicles and begin firing, so players will need to get in position quickly and begin taking out the mercenaries. Sincethe mercs are not undead, aim for headshotsthat have the potential to instantly eliminate enemies not wearing helmets and rapidly reduce the enemy count - if players cannot rapidly gain control of the situation, the enemies in the convoy can quickly overwhelm and eliminate squads.
Once all enemies are eliminated, players will receive a banner across their HUD indicating an objective has been completed, similar towhen an aether nestor encampment is cleared. Players can now beginsearching the area where the mercenaries died to find the mercenary stronghold keycard. While players may have found mercenary stronghold keycards in other locations while exploring Urzikstan, playersmust acquire this specific keycard to complete the second objective for the Interceptor mission. Once the keycard is acquired, the mission will be complete and players will unlock the third tier ofmissions for Operation Deadbolt.
