The Horde Hunt event in Modern Warfare 3 is an exciting time for players, presenting a unique challenge of collecting Skulls and Bones. While the temptation might be to dive headfirst into Hordepoint for these items, there's a more efficient way to amass your collection quickly.
Best Farming Strategies for Skulls & Bones in MW3 Horde Hunt
Securing Skulls and Bones in MW3 and Zombies requires a strategic approach. By focusing on specific game modes and tactics, you can streamline your collection process. Here are a couple of tricks I learned to farm more effectively.
Solo or Duo Play for maximum collection
- Zombies Mode Advantage: Bypass MW3 multiplayer and head straight to Zombies mode. Here, the density of zombies, especially during Escort Contracts or exfil helicopter calls, provides a rich farming ground.
- Solo Play Benefits: Playing alone or with one friend ensures that all collected items are yours, eliminating competition from teammates.
Targeted Zombie Types for specific drops
- Normal Zombies: These are your primary source for Bones, dropping them regularly as you take them down.
- Elite Zombies: For Skulls, focus on armored zombies, best found during contracts.
- Armored zombies are more prevalent and drop Skulls, key for the Horde Hunt.
- Hellhounds: Easily farmed during Raid Weapon Stash Contracts by starting and intentionally delaying the contract's completion.
- Mimics: More challenging to locate, but a few can be found in Tier 2 Infested Strongholds. Prepare with Pack-a-Punched weaponry for these encounters.
Tips for Effective Farming of Skulls & Bones in MW3 and Zombies
To farm skulls & bones more efficiently, here more tips:
- Focus on Zombies mode for a less competitive, more rewarding farming experience.
- Remember to create mode-specific load-outs and kit them with weapons designed specifically for zombie fights. Using weapons load-outs like Lockwood 680 loadout for the Zombies mode ensures the most optimum farming run.
- Consider the type of zombie for targeted farming: normal zombies for Bones and armored zombies for Skulls.
- Utilize contracts to lure out specific zombie types, especially armored zombies for Skulls.
- Be prepared for Hellhounds and Mimics as featured zombies, adjusting your farming strategy accordingly.
