How to Defeat Stormcaller Boss in MW3 Zombies

The Stormcaller boss can be defeated with two methods: shooting a lot of bullets into it or using the Blood Burner motorcycle. The first method should be done with a team.

The Stormcaller is essentially an overpowered Disciple enemy. It will glide around and leach on enemies and other players to heal. So, do not be in its range and run if it comes towards you. Lightning bolts will also strike the ground, so pay attention if there is a bolt symbol near you and run before it hits.

The strategy is to stand on the outside edge of the storm and shoot at it from afar. It will not leave the storm, but this will take a while, thanks to its large health bar.

It is best to bring a level 2 or 3 Pack-a-Punch upgraded weapon, an Ammo Mod, a Sentry Gun, and decoy grenades to also handle the hordes of zombies. Just make sure to move any Sentry Guns and stand in the storm to get credit for the Closing Time mission before its death.

The other method is to use the Aether Pulse ability on the Blood Burner motorcycle. Run over zombies to charge the ability, then drive right next to Stormacaller and activate it for a one-shot kill.

However, the Blood Burner motorcycle will spawn randomly on the map, and players will not see it on the minimap unless nearby. This method will take too much time to find the bike.

How to Find Stormcaller in MW3 Zombies

The Stormcaller is located in the Aether Storm, marked on the map by a purple circle and the radioactive symbol. This is the storm that spreads across the map at the end of each game.

It will be somewhere inside the circle, so use a vehicle to quickly find it and not waste your gas mask. Also, be sure to do this mission when the Aether Storm is in the low-tier threat zone. Zombies will be much harder to defeat if fighting in the orange or red zones.
