How to acquire a Cyphered Tablet in MW3 Zombies

The resources and items you hunt down in Modern Warfare 3‘s Zombies mode can be critical to your survival, and you will be on the hunt for many of them. When you reach the Tier 5 missions in Act 1, you need a Cyphered Tablet.

Here’s what you need to know about how to get a Cyphered Tablet in Modern Warfare 3‘s Zombies.

What is the Cyphered Tablet in MW3 Zombies?

The Cyphered Tablets are a unique item you’ll try to find while playing through a Zombies match with your squad. This is a mission-specific item, so you must work through the special requirements in Bring ‘Em On.

Where to Find Cyphered Tablets in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies

The way you unlock Cyphered Tablets all comes down to the Field Upgrade you’re using in the zombie mode, specifically the Frenzied Guard Field Upgrade. Not only do you need to have this Field Upgrade added to your Modern Warfare 3 character’s equipment list before they drop into a Zombies match, but you’ll need to make sure you add the Bring ‘Em On mission to your sheet. If you do not add this to your character, the Cyphered Tablet will not drop for you as it usually does. Double-check you have this on your character, and then you can drop into a Zombies match.

From there, it’s all about working through the Bring ‘Em On quest steps. For this mission, you and your MW3 squad must defeat at least 50 zombies using the Frenzied Guard Field Upgrade. When you activate the Frenized Armor Field Upgrade, your armor repairs to complete, forcing every enemy near you to target you for the next 10 seconds. During this time, all enemies will repair your armor, making it more difficult to knock you down, but it’s easy for a large horde to overwhelm you if you don’t have a suitable weapon to defend yourself.

I recommend using a close-quarters weapon, such as your preferred shotgun or LMG, when you activate Frienzed Armor. However, the choice is entirely up to you on what weapon you should use and the strategy you want to use. After defeating all 50 zombies using the Frenzied Upgrade, the next step is eliminating a Special zombie somewhere on the map with your team, defeating them while utilizing the Frenized Guard ability. It’s similar to the previous task, but with a tougher zombie, you have to fight.

Shortly after you defeat the final zombie required for the Bring ‘Em On quest, that zombie will drop the Cyphered Tablet. Pick up this dropped item, and then make your way to the nearest exfil location on the Zombies map, bringing you back to the main menu screen. The Bring ‘Em On quest should be finished on your task list, and you can move on to the next objective in Act 1, Tier 5 for Modern Warfare 3‘s Zombies mode.

There you have it! You know everything you need to acquire a Cyphered Tablet in MW3 Zombies. Good luck!
