How to Get All Classified Schematics

You can obtain all Classified Schematics by completing Contracts in the Elder Dark Aether, which is a version of the Dark Aether that has been opened with an Elder Sigil.

  1. Use a Sigil to Enter the Dark Aether
  2. Obtain Elder Sigils from Dark Aether Contracts
  3. Use Elder Sigil to Enter Dark Aether
  4. Obtain Classified Schematics from Contracts

Enter the Dark Aether

To enter the Dark Aether Rift, you will need to activate it with four Keys then use a Sigil to open a portal to the Dark Aether. The island that houses this portal structure can be found to the south of the Red Zone in the regular Urzikstan map.

Note: You only need the four keys the first time you enter the Dark Aether.

Once you've entered the Dark Aether, start completing Contracts to obtain Elder Sigils. The Contracts cannot be seen in the Tac-Map but have set locations around the area. Once you've obtained an Elder Sigil, Exfil from the Dark Aether to keep it for your next Zombies match.

Hey what's up, you have any luck? Someone has been helping me and after going into the aether rifts multiple times, I still haven't gotten any classified schematics, and I'm still looking for pack 3 crystal and legendary so I can craft them. My game has crashed more than anything lately and I haven't gotten anything good out of reward rifts. Now, a friend has been able to get most of the classifieds to craft but I haven't gotten any. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what.
