Not only will you have a blast mowing down zombies, but you’ll also earn unique cosmetics and MWZ Acquisitions along the way!
Horde Hunt is a thrilling month-long event that infests each playlist with MWZ undead enemies. Take on the challenge of surviving against zombies in Hardpoint, Warzone Resurgence, or classic MWZ to unlock an exclusive Operator skin and more. Get ready to dive into the chaos of Horde Hunt as you learn about how it works, the exciting new Hordepoint mode, and all the incredible rewards you can earn during this event.
What Is Horde Hunt?
Horde Hunt is a Multiplayer event within MW3 that runs from February 7 to March 3. Zombies have taken over every corner of MW3, including core Multiplayer and Warzone modes. For each zombie you defeat, you’ll be rewarded with an event currency. Collect enough of this currency, and you’ll receive new MWZ Acquisitions or exclusive event cosmetics.
You can encounter zombies in the following modes:
- Blox Fruits: A Grand Adventure on the High Seas! 🏴☠️🌊
- Managing Pals’ Sanity in Palworld: A Guide to Mind Control Meds 🧪🎮
- Unveiling the Secrets of Night-Exclusive Pals in Palworld 🌙
- Multiplayer: Hordepoint. This variant of Hardpoint spawns zombies throughout the match, keeping you on your toes while capturing objectives.
- MWZ: The entire mode is filled with all types of zombies, with higher threat regions having more special zombies.
- Warzone: Complete Eradication Contracts on Fortune’s Keep, and face off against hordes of undead.
Hordepoint Game Mode
Hordepoint is a thrilling 6v6 playlist available in MW3 Multiplayer. It is a variant of Hardpoint that incorporates elements from MWZ, creating an intense PvE experience. Zombies continuously spawn throughout the match, with a preference for lurking around the Hardpoint objective.
Here’s the good news: each slain zombie has the potential to drop power-ups and Pack-A-Punched weapons. Power-ups, such as Insta-Kill, Nuke, and Max Ammo, are only effective against the undead. The Pack-A-Punched weapon, however, doesn’t carry over between lives, so make every shot count!
But that’s not all—eliminating five zombies will count as a kill towards your next Killstreak or Scorestreak. So, not only will you be defending against the relentless undead, but you’ll also be inching closer to unleashing devastating rewards.
As the match progresses, the zombies that spawn become tougher. The name of the Hordepoint playlist will give you a hint about the type of zombies you’ll encounter. For instance, “Armored Apocalypse” means Armored Zombies will appear in the latter half of the match. Expect the roster of zombies to rotate throughout the event, keeping the excitement fresh.
In addition to the PvE zombies, the Hardpoint rules in this mode mirror those of core Multiplayer. You and your team must claim the Hardpoint and defend it against enemy Operators while battling the undead hordes. Capture the objective, survive against all odds, and emerge victorious!
