What is a Terminus Outcomes Stronghold in MW3 Zombies?

The Terminus Outcomes Stronghold is just another name for a Mercenary Stronghold on the Urzikstan map. Mercenary Strongholds can be found all over the map, including in areas like the Orlov Military Base or south of the main farmland. You can easily find the Stronghold buildings scattered around the low-threat zone.

When you look at the map, the POI symbol for a Terminus Outcomes Stronghold is a castle, so it’s hard to miss once you know where to look. However, the label is always seen as Mercenary Stronghold. For some reason, the story characters in MW3 Zombies and the mission descriptions refer to the buildings based on the name of the faction.

Terminus is the main name of the Mercenary group that is causing problems across Urzikstan and attempting to gain access to Dark Aether materials. They also happen to be the grunts that cause all kinds of problems in Mercenary Camps or contracts such as Defending the Power Station. Mercs become familiar after a while.

Before heading to a Terminus Outcomes Stronghold, you need access, so you won’t be able to just charge in right away. You either need to complete a Mercenary Camp and loot the chest for a keycard, or you can purchase one for 2,000 Essence at any Buy Station. Either way, the Mercenary Stronghold requires access.

Getting the key is just the start of the Infiltrator mission in MW3 Zombies, so make sure you know what to do next.
