The Stormcaller can be found inside Aether Storms during Zombies mode matches. These dangerous zones spawn at match start and will be the point from where the Aether Storm expands once the 40-minute match timer runs out.

Aether Storm locations are random for each match, but they are easily found by looking for a purple biohazard icon on you Tac-map. Enemies inside the Aether Storm are as dangerous as those in the Red Zone, regardless of the zone it spawns in.

Only Spawns Once Per Zombies Match

The Stormcaller only spawns once per match. This means that if another player or group kills it before you do, you will not be able to fight it until you queue up for your next match.

Swipe Attack

Much like the Disciple, the Stormcaller can execute a powerful melee attack that inflicts significant damage. You can easily avoid this by maintaining a safe distance from the Stormcaller and shooting at it from afar.

How to Kill Disciples

Life Drain

MW3 Zombies - Stormcaller Life Drain
The Stormcaller also has a life drain attack that inflicts damage over time as long as you remain within its range, gradually healing the Stormcaller. To evade this attack, simply move away from the Stormcaller until the channeling stops.

Summon Zombies

MW3 Zombies - Stormcaller Summon Zombies
If you manage to clear out all the zombies near the Stormcaller, it will begin summoning more zombies around itself. While the Stormcaller is in the process of summoning, you will have a few seconds to deal as much damage as possible. Take advantage of this animation, as it provides the opportunity to shoot the Stormcaller without worrying about zombies.

Empower All Zombies

MW3 Zombies - Stormcaller Enraged Zombies
Unlike the Disciple, which empowers a couple of zombies occasionally, the Stormcaller empowers all the zombies within its vicinity throughout the entire fight. Due to this, the zombies in the area can sprint, and they can easily overwhelm you if you are not careful. It's crucial to prioritize securing the area before shifting your focus to killing the Stormcaller to avoid the risk of dying.
