How to Beat Megabombs

Tips of Defeating Mega Abominations






Fully Upgrade Your Equipments

Taking on Mega Abominations is an extremely daunting task. To be successful in this mission, you must upgrade your weapons to Epic or Legendary rarity and have them Pack-a-Punch to level 3. Anything lower than these recommendations will result in longer kill times, which might lead to failure.

It's also recommended to have 3-Plate Vests with numerous Armor Plate reserves to survive the Mega Abomination's attacks. You can obtain one for free after opening Mercenary Stronghold safes or buying it from medium-threat Buy Stations.

Consume Perk-a-Colas

MW3 Zombies - Der Wunderfizz
Multiple Perk-a-Colas are essential to defeating a Mega Abomination. Before hunting one, you must at least have Quick Revive, Stamin-Up, Speed Cola, Jugger-Nog, and Deadshot Daiquiri.

It's best to craft Perk-a-Colas through Crafting Schematics or get them free through the Mister Perks Easter eggs so you won't have to spend essence.

If you're looking for a specific perk, you can proceed to the Der Wunderfizz, found in the high-threat zone. This Perk Machine will allow you to purchase whichever perk you want.

Shoot its Glowing Mouth

MW3 Zombies - Aiming at Glowing Mouth
To deal the maximum damage possible to a Mega Abomination, you must shoot its critical spot or weak point, which is its glowing mouth. Try to aim for this area as much as you can to take it down quickly.

Shooting its glowing mouth or throwing a grenade at it is also the only way to cancel its laser beams.

Use Juggernauts

Using Juggernauts are also highly recommended when taking down the Mega Abomination. Aside from dealing extreme amounts of damage, you will also be able to tank the Mega Abomination's hits for a good duration.

You can obtain a Juggernaut through random Loot Caches and Reward Rifts, or you may also buy one at the high-threat Buy Station.

Equip Napalm Burn Ammo Mod

MW3 Zombies - Using Napalm Burn Ammo Mod
The Napalm Burn Ammo Mod is extremely effective against enemies with high HP since the burning damage can chunk a good portion of their health. Equip this Ammo Mod if you're going against the Mega Abomination or any Elite Zombies with high HP, for that matter.

List of All Zombies Ammo Mods

Lure Megabomb to Medium-Threat Zone

If you find the Mega Abomination around the bridge that connects the high and medium threat zones, you can try luring it to the medium-threat zone.

This will not decrease the damage of the Megabomb whatsoever, but it will lessen the burden of having strong zombies spawn around it, as you only need to deal with tier 2 zombies.

Invite Other Squad Members

Having more than 3 squad members will significantly increase your chances of success. Not only do you have more people shooting at the Mega Abomination, you also have more people to cover and revive each squad member.
