MW3 Cryptid Bootcamp: All rewards and challenges

Modern Warfare 3’s newest event, Cryptid Bootcamp, offers several rewards for completing specific gameplay challenges in multiplayer or Modern Warfare Zombies.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines a cryptid as “a creature that is found in stories and that some people believe exists or say they have seen, but that has never been proven to exist.” Some examples are the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot.

As such, all of the rewards are related to cryptids, including the final Mastery reward, which is a new blueprint for the Sidewinder. Get ready to grind the two-week-long event for all nine possible items.

Here are all of the challenges and rewards to unlock as part of CoD: MW3’s Cryptid Bootcamp event.
