While all acquisitions are useful in MW3, some will be significantly more valuable than others. Below is the best Modern Warfare 3 Zombies acquisitions ranked:

Aetherium

Players use Aetherium to upgrade their Pack-A-Punch weapons to levels I and II. While they are helpful, being limited to those weapons holds them back. They come in the ranks of rare, epic, and legendary. 

Aetherium Tools

Aetherium Tools are a step above Aetherium crystals in their use. Use these tools to upgrade your current weapon to a more formidable power. Because of this, they are a slightly more useful find given their greater applicability on weapons.

As for their classes, the Aetherium tools come in the ranks of uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary.

The Ammo Mods acquisitions in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies.

It goes without saying that players will be firing many, many bullets in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, so they should have the best variety used. Ammo mods change the effects of your bullets when you use them.

Here is a list of the different Ammo Mods in MW3 and what they do:

  • Dead Wire: These bullets stun enemies. While this is useful, it does little more than distract zombies and slow them down rather than kill them efficiently. 
  • Cryo Freeze: Any Plants vs. Zombies fan can tell you how effective ice is in slowing hordes of zombies. However, here in Modern Warfare, it doesn’t have the same huge advantage and is better for escapes than gaining the upper hand. 
  • Shatter Blast: As zombies tend to come in dense hordes, having weapons that fire explosive shrapnel will inevitably be a powerful tool. This one is best at taking down dense clusters of zombies.
  • Napalm Burst: Probably the first ammo that would come to mind when thinking of fighting zombies with napalm. This will set hordes of zombies on fire, burning them down if your bullets don’t finish the job. 
  • Brain Rot: Perhaps the most satisfying to use, this ammo mod will turn zombies against one another. This is effective as it wreaks havoc in groups of large enemies, practically doing your work for you.

The Perk-A-Cola acquisitions in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies.

Of all the acquisitions in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, the Perk-A-Colas are the ones that provide the most significant advantages. Drinking one of these will give your character a strong advantage.

As many of them have a wide range of advantages, below is a list of which Perk-A-Cola’s are best to use for specific situations:

  • Tombstone Soda: This cola grants you a tombstone to recover your valuables on the map if you die. While Dark Souls players can see the use of this, you have to die first for it to be helpful.
  • Deadshot Daiquiri: This cola will grant you a vision of critical weak spots when you aim down the sights. This is best against single formidable enemies that are usually tough to take down.
  • PHD Flopper: This cola will allow you to create an explosion when diving from high places, ignoring fall damage. While this is powerful, it is limited in its use, given that you need a high ledge above the target for it to work.
  • Death Perception:  This cola allows players to spot hidden enemies or loot. While this is good in the long run, it does not have an immediate combat advantage, nor are hidden enemies a common problem.
  • Speed Cola: This cola increases your speed in reloading and replacing armor.
  • Quick Revive: This cola doubles your speed in recovering health and reviving teammates. This is powerful, given how often you and your allies will be under fire.
  • Stamin-Up: This cola boosts your stamina and running speed. Obviously, this is good for running from zombies and keeping up with the constant demand for action.
  • Jugger-Nog: This one has the simplest benefit, more max health. The advantage of this one is simple yet effective. 
  • Elemental Pop: This is the best of the Perk-A-Colas as it will give every bullet you fire a small chance of having a random ammo mod. As we have already discussed the power of ammo mods, this one gives you the potential to wield all of them at once.
