How to Complete Spore Control Contract

Add to Watchlist

Spore Control is a contract available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) Zombies Mode. Read on to learn about how to complete Spore Control, the enemies you will encounter in Spore Control, and Spore Control rewards.

How to Complete Spore Control

Spore Control Contract Guide


Grab the Inhibitors from the Loot Cache

Modern Warfare 3 - Take Inhibitors Spore Control

Take the Inhibitors from the Loot Cache marked by your objective tracker. There will be 8 Inhibitors inside the cache, however you'll only need 6 of them since that's the total amount of Spores needed to be destroyed.

In addition, you can only equip two Inhibitors at a time since they'll be taking up your tactical equipment slot. The rest will have to be stowed in your Rucksack.

Place the Inhibitors Near the Spore

Modern Warfare 3 - Deploy Inhibitors Near Spores

Deploy the Inhibitors near the Spore by pressing the tactical equipment button. To be more efficient, continue placing inhibitors until all Spores have one as it will take some time before they turn red.

Keep in mind that the Spores will slowly damage you over time if you come too near them, so be sure to keep your distance!

Shoot the Spore When it Turns Red

Modern Warfare 3 - Shoot Spore When Red

Once the Spores turn red, they'll become vulnerable and you'll be able to shoot and destroy it. It might be best to use your strongest weapon to quickly destroy them as zombies and hellhounds might be trailing you from behind.
