How to Heal Operators: Guardian Angel Mission Guide

Modern Warfare 3 - How to Heal Operators

The Guardian Angel mission requires you to heal Operators 20 times using the Healing Aura field upgrade in Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). Read on to learn how to heal Operators with the Healing Aura!

How to Heal Operators in the Guardian Angel Mission

Use the Healing Aura Near a Dying Operator

Modern Warfare 3 - Heal Operators Using Healing Aura

Operators are the other real players on the map. To heal Operators, approach them while their health is low and use the Healing Aura by pressing the Field Upgrade button. Take note, you'll have to be within their range in order for the amount of heals to count for the Guardian Angel mission.

In addition, you can only heal Operators in your squad and yourself, so you can't heal up other players from other squads.

Reduce Cooldown by Killing Zombies

Modern Warfare 3 - Reduce Healing Cooldown by Killing Zombies

The Healing Aura has a cooldown upon each use, but this can be recharged faster by killing zombies. You can find the cooldown timer on the bottom right corner of the screen—the circular shape with the field upgrade icon in it.

Healing Aura Requires Level 19 to Equip

Modern Warfare 3 - Healing Aura Level Requirement

You will need to be level 19 before you can equip the Healing Aura Field Upgrade in the loadout menu. You can hop into a few zombies matches and earn xp by completing Contracts, racking up a lot of zombie kills, and successfully exfiling with items in your rucksack.

The latter will reward you with a huge chunk of XP, so make sure to survive and escape safely!

Guardian Angel Mission Tips

Spam Heal at the Exfil Zone

Modern Warfare 3 - Spam Heal at Exfil Zone

A lot of zombies will pop up upon calling the exfil chopper, so you and your team can purposely get damaged by the zombies, then apply the Healing Aura to yourselves, instantly adding 3 to the heal count goal for the mission.

Also as mentioned earlier, you can reduce the healing ability cooldown by killing the large hordes of zombies charging towards your team at the exfil zone.

Apply Healing to Yourself

The amount of heals required for the Guardian Angel mission also adds up when healing yourself, so make sure to pop a Healing Aura whenever you're low on health.
