Tracking down a Warlord in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies is no easy task. You’ll have to overcome several obstacles in front of you, namely acquiring the resources needed to challenge him and his veritable army of mercenaries.
You won’t find a distinct icon on the Zombies map pointing you to the Warlord’s position. Thankfully, once you know where to look for them, you’ll be able to quickly find them each match and defeat them. Here’s what you need to know about how to get a Warlord kill in MW3 Zombies.
What is a Warlord in MW3 Zombies?
A Warlord is a special enemy on the Zombies map that is the leader of Legacy, the mercenary force present in Urzikstan. The Warlord sits inside Legacy Fortress, and defeating them rewards you with a Warlord kill.
How to get a Legacy Fortress Key for the Warlord boss
If you want to get into Legacy Fortress, you’ll need to clear a Mercenary Stronghold. Inside the Stronghold will be a safe you can open, which contains the Legacy Fortress key—this is your ticket into Legacy Fortress. If you exfil with the Legacy Fortress key, it will disappear from your inventory and convert into XP, so you’ll need to clear out the POI all in one session. Only one Warlord spawns in each session too, which means you could be racing other squads to the fortress to bring the Warlord down.
You can’t enter a Mercenary Stronghold without a Mercenary Stronghold Keycard, which you can obtain by clearing a Mercenary Camp or as a Reward Rift drop for completing contracts.
Legacy Fortress icon and location
The Legacy Fortress is marked on your Tactical Map and can be found at the D2 coordinate. You can’t miss it; it’s the structure of buildings on top of a hill surrounded by huge concrete walls. In the center of the compound is a building similar to a Mercenary Stronghold. That’s where you’ll find the Warlord.
How to get the Warlord Kill in MW3 Zombies
The Warlord won’t be a pushover, and if you have a squad with you, they will be your best asset in taking them down. Several weaker NPCs and even an attack helicopter will attempt to assault your position, and you may want to prioritize them as the damage from their weapons can stack up fairly quickly.
Annoyed by that attack helicopter? You should have brought down some Anti-Tank mercs at the entrance to the fortress. Backtrack to their location and they should have an assortment of rocket launchers for you to use against the chopper!
Defeating the Warlord inside Legacy’s Fortress is the only thing you need to do to earn the Warlord kill, but he isn’t easy to get to. Once you wipe out the platoon of mercs defending the main building you’ll be able to use your Legacy Key to enter.
The action doesn’t stop here, however, as you’ll need to navigate upstairs and past many traps. Claymores, Anti-Personnel Mines, Inflatable Decoys, Gas Grenades, and Suppression Mines await you, so I recommend downing a Depth Perception Perk-a-Cola before entering as you’ll be able to see these traps through walls.
Make your way through each room carefully, clearing each merc along the way. Take your time here as dying will mean starting over from the beginning. Once you reach the top floor office, the Warlord will be waiting for you with heaps of Semtex grenades and a Dragon’s Breath shotgun. Fortunately, he doesn’t use a helmet, meaning a few shots to the head will end him quickly.
Bring down the Warlord and the Warlord Kill is yours. You can also loot this character to find any valuable items on their body, such as the Tactical Negotiator blueprint in MW3 Zombies. The weapon becomes yours if you and your team exfil with the weapon but unlike DMZ’s unique Blueprints, you can’t take it into multiplayer—it’ll return to your Contraband stash after each run.
