How to complete MW3 Zombies Bad Signal Act 4 Story Mission
ActivisionDark Aether Rifts grants players the opportunity to enter the Dark Aether.
If you’re looking to enter the Dark Aether freely, you’ll need to complete the MW3 Zombies Season 1 Act 4 Mission first, so here’s a guide on how to do it. Firstly, be sure to be fully equipped, as the mission will take place inside a Tier 2 Threat Zone.
- Go to the Bad Signal Exfil spot on the map (be sure the name of the Exfil is Bad Signal and not Extraction) and interact with the Anomaly Rift.
- Once inside, you’ll have to head to the Seals marked on the map, activate each of the four available, and kill Zombies around them.
- When completed, you’ll be tasked to leave the Dark Aether through a portal.
- Once you get to the portal, a Gorm’gant will appear destroying the Dark Aether portal.
- To kill the Gorm’gant, you will need to kit its weak points where the purple crystals appear or in its mouth – be sure to keep your distance and avoid being insta-killed.
- When killed, the Gorm’gant will leave a useful Artifact which will be used to freely enter the Dark Aether – also, you can now successfully Exfil.

After completing the Season 1 Act 4 “Bad Signal” Story Mission, to enter the Dark Aether you’ll need to find four Legendary Dark Aether Artifacts. Here’s how to get all of them in MW3 Zombies.

Here are all the Pedestal locations for each Dark Aether Artifact.

To enter the first Dark Aether Rift in MW3 Zombies, you will have to kill the Mega Abomination that will spawn from the Dark Aether Rift upon placing all four Dark Aether Artifacts in the pedestals. Once you kill the Mega Aboination, a Sigil will be available within the Reward Rift.
Keep in mind that you can Exfil with the Sigil and use it in a future match, or place it in the Dark Aether Rift and use it in the current match you playing.
Also, by completing the Dark Aether Artifact quest, you’ll now have permanent access to use Dark Aether Rifts in MW3 Zombies – the only item required to use them will be Sigils as these are a one-time use.
How to get Elder Sigil in MW3 Zombies

To get Elder Sigils in MW3 Zombies, you must enter the Dark Aether and complete three Dark Aether Challenges, which are scattered across the entire Uzrikstan map.
Elder Sigils grant access to the Dark Aether. However, unlike regular Sigils, they need to be positioned at the portal’s opposite end, at the F6 location of the map. Upon entering, expect more challenging enemies and a 15-minute window to navigate and accomplish your objectives.
Keep in mind that completing the required task won’t guarantee receiving an Elder Sigil in the Reward Rifts, as these Sigils are rare drops.
How to get Drum Key in MW3 Zombies
MW3’s Season 2 Reloaded update added a new Act mission to complete, called Countermeasures, which nets the Drum Key once completed. The Drum Key is one of four keys needed to open the new Dark Aether Rift available in the game.
We’ll be sure to update this guide as soon as we know how to complete the new Story Mission of Act 4, as well as how to get the other three keys needed.
