How to Get Sigils

How to Get Sigils
Checkmark (Prerequisite) Finish Act 4 Story Mission

Checkmark (Prerequisite) Activate the Dark Aether Rifts using keys

Checkmark Tier 3 / High Threat Zone Contract Reward Rifts

Sigils are High Threat Zone Contract Rewards

Sigils are obtained by completing Contracts in the High Threat Zone (Red Zone). Any type of Contract in the High Threat Zone has the chance to drop Sigils. We recommend doing the Deliver Cargo and Eliminate the Bounty contracts since they're the fastest to complete.

Best Contracts to Complete

Preqrequisites: Complete Act 4 Story Mission and Activate Dark Aether Rift

MW3 Unlock Dark Aether Rift

For Sigils to spawn in your game, you first need to finish the Act 4 Story Mission Bad Signal. Sigils won't spawn for you if you don't complete the story mission—even if you're in a squad that did complete it.

Next, you also have to have activated the Dark Aether Rift by placing its 4 keys on the Rift Pedestals. These keys are the Locked Diary, Pill Bottle, Dog Collar, and Surveillance Camera. This part can be done even if you haven't completed Bad Signal, as long as you're part of a squad that has at least one member who has done it.

You'll receive 1 Sigil for activating Dark Aether Rift

MW3 Zombies Sigils
After you activate the Dark Aether Rift for the first time, you'll get one Sigil that you can either use immediately or exfil to use at a later time. It's recommended to use it at a later time if you don't have at least Pack-a-Punch Level 3 Legendary weapons, since the enemies in the Dark Aether Rift are even more difficult than Red Zone enemies.
