In Modern Warfare Zombies you’ll need all the help you can get. Because it’s now an open-world mode, you can find pick-ups throughout the map. All will help, but some may be more important than others. One of the pickups you can find is schematics, which can be used to craft Aetherium, Perk-a-Colas, Ammo Mods, and Wonder Weapons, and we’ll show you how to unlock each in Modern Warfare Zombies (MWZ).
Modern Warfare Zombies (MWZ): How to unlock schematics for Aetherium, Perk-a-Colas, Ammo Mods, and Wonder Weapons
These schematics can be found throughout the map but will drop randomly. So you’ll have to search far and wide to find some. The rarer the schematic, the harder it can be to find as well. So take note of that beforehand.
While scouring the map, you may have a chance of finding the more selective items like Aetherium. However, it seems like going into certain spots may increase your chances. So I’d say check out Aether Nests, do contracts and challenges, and complete missions. By doing this, you can farm those rarer schematics and get them consistently. A quicker way to find the schematics without doing any of the missions is by finding Aether Nests, Aether Loot Caches, or going after the bosses. They may have a chance of dropping the stronger schematics.
The chance of having these drop as mentioned will be random, and at the time of writing this, Modern Warfare Zombies doesn’t have a definite way of having them appear consistently. On top of that, each schematic for each pickup looks like it has the same drop rate. So your best bet is to go through the map as stated before. With that being said, try those methods above still. I think it’s a way to keep you engaged longer and helps newcomers understand the map better. However, as I get more play time and more experience with the map and the mode and find better ways to search for schematics, I’ll update accordingly.
