Players can get Special and Elite zombie kills by eliminating named zombies in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). Read on to learn what Special and Elite Zombies are, how to spawn them, and the easiest ways to take them down!
List of Contents
Special and Elite Zombies are tankier zombies that offer a combat challenge due to their unique attacks and mechanics. You can easily identify these zombies among the hordes as they have distinct appearances. The different Special and Elite Zombies are as follows:
Special Zombies are the unique zombies that you will randomly encounter while exploring the map, while the Elite Zombies are the ones you target during Eliminate the Bounty contracts. The only exception to this would be Mega Abominations which are always considered Elite Zombies.
Note: Unique zombies encountered during contracts are not all Elite zombies. The only one that will be considered "Elite" is the one you're targeting, easily identified by the blue marker above its head.
Where to Find Special and Elite Zombies |

One of the best ways to spawn Special Zombies is by doing Escort contracts. This contract will spawn hordes of zombies, which has a good number of spawning multiple special zombies. In our experience, we we're able to fight up to 6 Special Zombies in one contract!
Note that all Special Zombies appear in any threat zone Escort contract except for Disciples and Mega Abominations. Disciples can only be found in the medium and high threat zones, while Mega Abominations only lurk around the high threat zone.
How to Complete Escort Contract
You can spawn Elite Zombies by participating in Eliminate the Bounty contracts. The location of the target Elite zombie will appear on your HUD, which you need to track down and eliminate.
Similar to Escort contracts, Mimics and Manglers can be spawned in all threat zones. Disciples, on the other hand, can only be targeted in medium and high threat zones, while Mega Abominations are exclusive to high threat zone.
Eliminate the Bounty Contract Guide
These Mimics hide themselves, so they might not spawn until you clear the area. At least one Mimic is guaranteed to spawn in an Infested Stronghold.
Special zombies spawn randomly across the map, and you will often encounter them while roaming around especially in higher-threat zones. Dive deep into more dangerous territories to raise your chances of finding these unique zombies.
It's recommended to use good weapons with high rarity and pack-a-punch level before aiming for Special or Elite Zombies. Most of the time these unique zombies are accompanied by hordes of other zombies, which make it much of a challenge to bring them down.
Zombies Best Guns and Weapons Tier List
One of the Field Upgrades to equip when dealing with Special or Elite Zombies is the Energy Mine since it can deal remarkable damage to them. On top of that, you can also use deadly tactical or lethal items such as the Molotov, Semtex, and LT53 Kazimir to deal more damage.

While playing in a group, will these still count/track properly? I don't mind doing them solo but being in a group going after Escorts & Bounties seems would probably go faster
