Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode has proven to be a treasure trove of hidden gems, and players are in for a nostalgic surprise with the discovery of a secret that harks back to one of Call of Duty’s most iconic memes. It turns out, within the wild landscape of the Urzikstan map, there lies a gravesite where players can literally “Press F To Pay Respects.”
This unique gravesite pays homage to a memorable moment from 2014’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. In that game, during a poignant funeral cutscene, players were unexpectedly given the chance to interact by pressing a button to pay their respects to a fallen soldier. Now, in Modern Warfare 3, this Easter Egg is resurrected in a different form. Even if you are not a Call of Duty franchise player, you must have heard about the meme at least once in your life. The team behind Modern Warfare 3 Zombies had to include it in the game, and players seem pretty happy about it.
“Press F to Pay Respects” location in Modern Warfare 3
If you’re up for the challenge, head to Threat Zone Three on Old Town’s west side. The hotspot? A castle rampart’s roof, decked out with a grave marked by sticking weapons. To make things easier, look for a blue stuffed bunny right behind the grave.
But, fair warning: Threat Zone Three is no walk in the park. To trigger the Easter Egg, face the grave and “Press F To Pay Respects.” The catch? Your weapon loses all upgrades. But hold on! Your sacrifice isn’t for nothing. You’ll get weapon upgrade items in return. The question is: use them now or save for later? Just brace yourself for a temporary dip in firepower.
Risk and reward in Tier 3
Entering the Tier 3 threat zone calls for caution and a stacked arsenal. Those diving into this nod to a classic meme will not only appreciate the throwback but also gain strategically. The post-interaction Aether Rewards Bubble might hold the key to your weapon’s upgrade materials. In Threat Zone Three’s unforgiving landscape, every move counts. Paying respects could be your ticket to future victories.
In Old Town’s castle, this Easter Egg blends nostalgia with a challenge, giving players a chance to salute the past while snagging resources for battles ahead. So, suit up, hit that F, and savor the excitement of discovering a piece of Call of Duty history in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies.
