How to get Uncommon Aether Tool Plans in MW3 Zombies

A schematic for instant weapon upgrade.

Schematics in Call of Duty MWZ allow you to craft items before getting into a match, and you need to know how to get the Uncommon Aether Tool Plans. I've tried to find this schematic through various methods, but there is a guaranteed process by which you can obtain it.

How to find Uncommon Aether Tool Plans in MW3 Zombies

There are a few ways to obtain the Uncommon Aether Tool schematics (and ammo mods): searching loot caches, completing contracts, capturing Infested Strongholds, and cleansing Aether Nests. However, there is a mission in Act One you can complete to get a guaranteed Uncommon Aether Tool schematic. Saboteur is a Tier Three mission in Operation Deadbolt, and completing it fetches you this schematic.

To complete the Saboteur mission, you must wrap up four different objectives. Firstly, find and complete an Aether Extraction contract. The Aether rockets will be guarded by AI mercenary forces, and the task is to eliminate 15 combatants; eliminating these AI forces completes the second objective.

During this mission, a Reinforcement Chopper spawns bringing in more mercenaries, and you'll need to destroy it quickly to progress to the third objective. I recommend using upgraded weapons, lethal equipment like Semtex, and Launchers to quickly take down the chopper. Once that's done, you can complete the contract, and the Uncommon Aether Tool schematic will be awarded through the Reward Rift.

The Uncommon Aether Tool Plans (schematic) allows you to craft the item before heading into a match. This means you can upgrade your weapon right after spawning in the game. Schematics are permanent acquisitions that you can keep using, and it saves you the trouble of looking for these items in every match. Remember, schematic items have a cooldown period, so you can craft the Uncommon Aether Tool once every two hours.
