MW3 Horde Hunt Event Challenges and Rewards

The goal of Horde Hunt is to murder zombies in various modes and collect their bones or skulls that are dropped when killed. Rewards are based on collecting a specific number of items dropped from zombies.

Collecting bones and other items for the Horde Hunt event can be done in the new MW3 Hordepoint multiplayer mode, Zombies mode, or Warzone. Four types of zombies must be killed during the event, and each type has its own rewards.

Base Zombies

Players will need to collect 10,000 regular zombie bones to complete the section, and all rewards are used for the Zombies mode:

  • Epic Aether Tool – 75 bones
  • Speed Cola – 155 bones
  • Deadshot Daquiri – 310 bones
  • Epic Aether Tool – 625 bones
  • JuggerNog – 1,250 bones
  • Legendary Aether Tool – 2,500 bones
  • Elemental Pop – 5,000 bones
  • Ray Gun Case – 10,000 bones

Armored Zombies

Players must collect 600 skulls from Armored Zombies to get the Tiny Screams charm. They are available to collect from the beginning of the event.

Hellhounds

The reward for killing a certain number of Hellhounds is the Dogs of Hell calling card. The challenge will be available beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 14.

Mimics

Killing a certain number of Mimics will reward with the Cursed Ammo item. The challenge will be available beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 21.

How to Get Killshot Skin in MW3 and Warzone Horde Hunt

The Killshot skin for the Swagger Operator can be earned by completing all three of the featured zombies sections: Armored Zombies, Hellhounds, and Mimics. That means players will not be able to complete the full event until after Feb. 21.

The Horde Hunt event will run from Feb. 7 until March 2, so players have 24 days to complete the event. The Mimics challenge unlocks in the third week, which gives players 10 days to finish up the last objective.
