When you exfil with large amounts of Cash it should go towards any and all remaining Cooldown time. expressly if you have no Cooldown time left on your insured slots. Exfil Money Should be going somewhere.

Hey people. Great content. Most people can’t spend hours playing the game. If there are shortcuts, I’m taking them. If u r tired of getting those schematics, get them and then drop to someone else. Same with essence or anything for that matter. My son and I play for fun. He’s more aggressive. Players helping players is great. Play on!!🤠

12mins pap 3 vs 3 days cooldown, da fuq the devs were thinking with that cooldown time. 🤷‍♂️

It is a lot faster to PaP with the introduction of the containment levels. I barely come in the game with perks or flawless since it takes no time to upgrade while playing. Additional benefit is that every time that I'm playing, almost the whole lobby is in tier 3, I just play in tier 2 and I have all the contracts to myself. No need to fight for contracts. This makes getting essence even faster.

If the stash was even just 20 it would make a HUGE difference. I like to craft my good stuff and then move it to my stash so that any given time I have 2-3 pap3 crystals, legendary tools, etc. but with only 10 slots it’s kind of absurd tbh

That 72 hour cooldown never bothered me until I started getting dropped from servers. Three times in the past two weeks my timer finished, I crafted one, joined a server then everyone got kicked. Never again 🤣

Anyone else think it’s time for tier 3 to become bigger? Literally 80% of the lobby is in there mow

I just wish we could have several different types of vests like in DMZ. UAV: pings the map and shows zombies/loot chests every few seconds (secret affect: unscrambles DA map) Ultra plate: takes only two plates to fully plate up Medic vest: 50 extra health and faster health regen Bandolier vest: default plate stash size is 8 and carry more ammo Grenedier vest: double tactical and lethal grenades you can carry I’m sure there are other ideas but I think this might add to the strategy in planning what you want to do in your next run.

Containment levels 12, 30, 50 and 100 have all been incredibly inconsistent and about half the time just don't seem to apply. If you have a look at the 1st completed contract of the video, Doughnuts has 5K when he completes the contract, and has 8K after when he should've had 9K because of level 30.

Hope you see this. You were talking in a previous video about how good the mags of holding is. Yesterday I equipped it for the 1st time with the Taq. The weapon normally has a 200 round capacity with 1500 if you pack it. With the mags, it was a 1700 round LMG!!! I went through the whole match and it never got below 1500. It was awesome. Nothing stood a chance with that combo.

Hi @Doughnuts really love watching your videos mate. I guess you have a knack at communicating with the wider audience . When watching your content i could be sitting on basically a perk and ammo mod and be happy with it as you make it sound appealing even opening a cache and finding a rare tool you always sound triumphant and happy with what you find. Hey, anything better is a bonus right? I get where you are coming from , and i think thats kinda the gist of your videos, enjoy the gameplay, so long as you can sprint or get away from zombies its kool and make do with what you find . Excellent content bro keep up the good work.

Best time to enjoy some donuts right after work with a coffee

Doughnuts, I may have found another broken weapon, or maybe not.. I don't know,., Might be worth looking into but may not lol.. But the GS Magna when PaP 3 with legendary tool and using mag of holding is absolutely unstoppable.. Just thought I'd mention it as I finished the hangun camo's with it today and was surpisingly SHOCKED!

I think the mistake is that he had to pay 15k for pap 3 but if you have max contaiment than its only 12k?

Containment levels really are great just sucks if you tend to crash a lot since it’s -25 levels each time I believe

Except for when the game crashes and you, it rests your containment level.

it sucks because I have no reason to enter a zombies game. I completed all challenges/ act missions, got all schematics, and did all camo challenges. For me, even when I have schematics off cooldown I have no reason to enter a game and use it. Kind of sucks cuz I enjoy the game. Just nothing to do. Also the whole lobby fighting over 6 contracts in tier 3 is a joke...

Only assuming the containment level doesn’t glitch out and restart. I’ve only gotten to containment level 100 a couple times bc when I start a match every few days it’ll bug out and reset. That plus server crashes :/

The real problem is the bugged Containment system. It is absolutely stupid to lose levels when doing high tier content. Yesterday my game completely bugged out, and after exfill from the Dark Aether my Operator skin got reset (only in the round, at the loading screen i got the same as before, so the game switched to a not-equipped operator skin) and it completely reset all my containment levels....

Schematic cooldown time should have been apart of the containment level rewards.. wouldve maybe sparked a pick up in players who bought the game and dont play as often as theyd like because of those cooldown times. always enjoy the vids Doughnuts!!!!

There should be a dead drop box (like in DMZ) at the centre of tier 3 which is used to reduce cooldowns.

Pro tip . The aether blade is your best friend if you wanna go straight to t3. And if you exfil on a story mission chopper and close app when the loading screen starts ,you'll keep atmether blade ecmvery gameb

I have everything completed in the game, so the only draw I have to even hop on... is if I have all top tier loot and I can bounce around and help people. Like yesterday.... just before exfiling and passing close to Tier 3 with around 6 minutes left and radiation moving close by. I was going to keep going, but I felt bad and since I had Mags of Holding, Golden Armor, triple pap and legendary scorcher and SO 14 with the JAK Purifier. If hadn't had all that... no way I would have attempted this. They were in the big building with large square courtyard and doing the Weapons Cache contract. With it being under the 10 minute timelimit and radiation on the move... the number of zombies is massively increased... and these guys had a huge horde around them. Even with all my good gear and decoys... I almost got downed numerous times and just barely made it out alive. But then I didn't even get across the water and both of them were pleading again. I told myself noway! But again felt bad not helping... so I went back in for round 2 and this was just as bad if not worse than round 1. As I rezed them I started screaming at them to run and get to Tier 2 and then exfil. They made out and I was able to exfil. If I didn't have this gear, I would have been watching TV. It's bad enough I paid $100 for this game and in terms of notable content, we've gotten basically nothing since release and by all rumors we're not really getting anything notable for the remainder of this games time. So what's the point of getting into a round if there is literally nothing at all to actually do? The only reason I do what I with helping others, is because I'm OCD and get bored. Problem with a lot of people like yourself... kind of taking offence to people like myself who want all the good gear all the time, is you fail to look at a few factors... 1) Not everyone just plays an hour of this game. Some of us like to play 8+ hours and if ya lose your gear in that time and have to wait some pathetic 1, 2 or 3 day cooldown... it gets quite annoying to say the least. 2) Not all of us are the best players and need the better gear to even survive if we want to go into Tier 3 or the Aether. The max amount of cooldown for tools, crystals etc... should be more like 1, 2 and 3 hours. What wouldn't make the days of cooldown so stupid, is if we are able to exfil and keep our paped and legendary along with anything else like gold armor etc and not just able to use it a single 45 minute round. Also our stash should be no less than 50 slots. The whole DMZ weapon cooldown should be gotten rid of. And we should have a wallet. Minus all this... they really failed on numerous levels in designing this mode. It's sad when they had it easy by just building off the backs of DMZ and kept all the dumb stuff and got rid of all the good stuff. It's sad we've come to a time where CoD screws us over and charges us for a FULL NEW game release, when we all know this is literally just MWIII 2.0. It's sad when we get basically no real worthy content and aren't expecting any for the entire life-cycle of this game. It's sad that we have to use TombStone glitches to get any enjoyment out of this game, but sure find time to fix those things, but can't find the time to add real content? They can't be bothered to fix broken aspects of the game that have been around since release? Like Packet Burst? SMH

I'm disappointed that my last elder aether run i got nothing but stupid keys and 1 mag of holding. Old aether dark zone is king for staying geared with gold plates, dog bone, and aether blades. I just alternate to stock up. Lately I've been lucky getting legendary tool to drop almost every run.

I forget about the discounts too, on pap and perks. But it makes me happy when i walk away with more essence than i thought

Not sure what the difference is between your games and mine, but when I go in with a buddy we still get downed with gold plates aether blade legendary flawless while in tier 3. If it weren't for the flamethrower we probably wouldn't last more than 2 tier 3 contracts. My buddy and I are great at multi-player games but when it comes to the zombies/dmz setup and maps he follows me like a lost puppy asking me to mark things for him all the time and gets lost quite often (I'm wondering if he's playing on a very small screen as I type this) but we often get outnumbered by zombies 30:2 and multiple special zombies

I might be considered somewhat of an expert at the 'camo grind/mastrery for the risk averse' methods (when im not jumping vehicles off of cliffs.. hehe).. As I got to grandmaster on the MW3 weapons (to the point the only MW3 weapon that ISN'T borealis mastered is the Soulrender.. but im halfway though that), have bioluminescent unlocked for the mw2 guns, and I'm grinding out the arachnida masteries now. for most of the firearms, all you really need is a rare/epic aether tool, PaP1, and your normal Perk packages (speed cola, jugger nog, PHD flopper, and death perception.. the others are ok.. but I tend to avoid Tombstone and elemental pop).. I might use uncommon when im bringing melee weaps in.. the key here? tier 1 escorts.. you can always visit a PaP machine for upgrading the gun, packing the melee weap when you have the essence, and when will farm the furthest exfil point i can find until the storm reaches it. another important thing? the JAK BFB.. you WANT to attract as many zombies as possible.. so having the attachment that makes you a zombie beacon is essential

I think the fastest tier 2 contracts are raid weapons stash in the southern part of tier 2 there are usually 2-3 to switch between and they're very close together

I couldn’t agree more! I think the reality is that we should use the schematics as an added bonus however the beauty of the game is to keep it classic and to work building your pap contract by contract.. People do take it for granted however, we need to remember that for many this game is the first zombie experience so equally not being able to appreciate the grind. Needless to say a great video as always 👊🏼❤️

The PAP crystals are still nice to have off the rip but not so important unless you're running the dark aether or red worm. I pretty much save them for those runs so I can have more points for extra self-rev or other stuff from the buys. What really would have been nice is a discount at the buy stations instead of the mystery box IMO. The tools are way more valuable since you can't get those with points in the game. Unless you want the random weapon from the wall buy and then PAP it but you run the risk of getting what's there.

with the mechanics being what they are - your experiment certainly shows the advantages, but I think we cannot forget your spawn location - access to vehicles/aether tears/scorcher - can ALL make a huge difference in that time... I've had instances of having completed 4 contracts, papped once, and looking down the throat of a Mega with 38 min. on the clock... the very next game, I might get a terrible spawn by Orlov, and the only vehicle is in the middle of a Merc Camp... that's going to take longer... I feel like the containment is awesome sauce for sure, but there are many other factors that wil impact economy of progression in this game... and I do agree, you don't need any of it to go have fun... didn't you already do some vids with naked runs?

Yep you’re right that legendary tool is the hardest to get in game especially in tier 1&2 if you never go into red zone you will never find them super rare tools and they are the most important of all if you ask me i can play without it but my god it is op

Get rid of schematics entirely and just buff drop rates on tools/implement more stuff like containment levels. This game was the most fun when progressing from grey guns in T1 to first progressing into T3 where you’re almost entirely reliant on the loot loop of exfilling more than you started with so you’re stronger next round. That loop dies as soon as you get top schematics. Now I have every schematic and have no reason to play other than “just for fun” so I rarely play more than once every few days.

"Did I mess up? This might be a weird video for you guys." 🤣🤣🤣 Also, I absolutely agree with the comment about people saying they can't play without a full kit. I play almost every day and many of those matches are only starting with T1 PAP and Rare/Epic tools. That's the fun of the mode for me. I save the big schematics for special missions/DA runs. If I'm just doing a regular drop, the contacts and hunting/looting is why I'm there.

at 14:10 in your video, where do you see that screen with the stats? I can't see it in mine :(

I only play 1-2 matches a day, if I’m lucky. I play mostly solo but have two more accounts, my kids play. All 3 are at about the same level. I just completed Act 1, 30-35 rounds on each maybe. The operator leveling system has been huge for me. I get so much more done in a game than I ever did before. I’m not the best player. Tier 2 is fairly easy now but I get downed quite a bit in tier 3. I’ve only recently been going in there more often because I can now afford to buy more self revives. I am usually able to drop in with a bunch of perks, a rare tool and a pack 1 crystal. Not always but most of the time. If I use a gun that has a flame thrower I get 2 weapons to pack 2 very quickly. Can easily take out all teir 2 bounty contracts with pack 1 and usually grab those or deliver contracts first. Most people aren’t running strait for t2 bounties right off the rip and they’re crazy fast to do.

Ha I love the donuts charm on the weapon 😂

They literally have the plans to upgrade all the ammo mods and everything from cold war. Would need to make anything just add it in.

I had the idea the other day that if you bring out schematics for something you have on cooldown, that should cut down on the cooldown time.

The problem with containment levels is the 24/7 bugs that make me lose levels off of just extracting. Even tho they say they fixed it, it happens nearly every game

only been playing a few months and i think if you exfil with the schematic for the crystal etc. it should cool it down some because these cool downs are kinda wild.

I don’t understand why they don’t have a reduced cooldown feature for schematics if you successfully exfil. Basically you’re only allowed to have 1 fun game every 2-3 days.

I would like to see some sort of cool down reduction time.

Thanks for doing as a normal player tier has only seen me three times lol. I be in and out lol

That's the last schematic that I need the legendary e tool. But I personally think all cool downs max should be 24hr. It is only for 1 game so I don't get 2+ days recharge. But also I love zombies I can play whenever and with whatever I love the challenge.

Great vid keep up the work

I played 3 games today solo and never got one self res with a fresh start so first contract should have had one in........so I'm guessing its been changed

I’m just having a really tough time wanting to play when all I get in tier 2 contracts are uncommon aether tools and maybe a perk if I’m lucky than after I use the schematics from the first game I’m legit going in with no pap crystals. I truly think there may be summer in zombies because my reward rifts are so miserable

Yea doughnut i been going into elder old n new like everygame, after yall unlock schematics in the elder, then just farm the sigil the loot is the best 😁😁

The most important schematic for me is the speed cola haha.

I can honestly say I play with all of this most of the time I only have very few schematics and I am new to the game now I do have all the armor mod schematics I do have a level 1 Pack-a-Punch schematic and the green and blue tool schematics most cola schematics except for two so most of the time I don't even rely on those I just keep playing the game in fact most of my game time in modern warfare 3 has been zombies now yes I am striving to get all of the schematics... I am now on act 3 towards the end... That's where it gotten a bit harder solo for me but I manage so yeah you didn't need all these things even though it makes it easier I like the challenge and fun...

i played a game yesterday day and no one through out the whole game was in tier 3 i was like what is going on usually everyone is in tier 3

Nice when the Containment Level bonuses work... So many times I've run into T3 to Pack3 my weapon with like 13k or 14k essence, which should be fine with the 20% discount... But NOPE - Message saying not enough essence - so FML. I've come to not counting on the discount, so I don't get disappointed. Or when it decides you aren't getting the 30% contract bonuses... ALSO, I understand from the last developers update, that with S3 Reloaded, we will get 20 slots in our stash, and cash/gear extractions will count for time off cooldowns. Although depending on how much essence you normally exfil with, you may only knock off an hour or so each round... Not super-helpful on a 72-hr flawless crystal, but better than nothing (?)

Hello Doughnuts, would you mind doing a video on how exactly the Containment levels work? More specific how they are lost. If I join Randoms, and they spam exfil, do I get punished? What if I do the story? Does that hurt it? It seems to be all over the place for me.

I hope dmZ just keeps getting better and better like regular dmz did. Cont level should go all the way to tens of thousands.

Bro I go straight to Red zone get paid 5k for contracts and go from there at the start. it's a waste of time to do contracts anywhere else you get so much more in red zone same with the rewards for completed contracts it's the only way to play once you have everything unlocked.

I feel like they have upped the chance of pap 2 and three crystals this last week in my last five games I have had 11 pap 2 and 6 pap 3 crystals

Leftover essence definitely should go towards something

I would’ve probably gotten at least 2 plate vest before going into tier 3😂

With the legendary schematics i will add one to my gear acquisition it that way the next time the cooldown is ove rill have another one stored up

Bardering system works....i bring spare leg tools or dog bines or whatever i have high tier doubles and go into chat for trades

I’ve gotten pack 3 in like 15 minutes at tops before then I also ended up getting a pack 3 crystal and I did dark aether and got dog bone and mag of holding

W vids fr🎉🎉🎉

Anyone having issues with the schematics not unlocking when you exfil. ? Can't unlock the legendary crystal and flawless crystal

I have almost every tier 3 schematic ,thanks to my random teammates who helped me get them through contracts, I am missing tier 2 PaP crystal schematic

My game glitched and reset my containment level for some weird reason at the beginning of it. I was 92 hoping to get to 100 and it put me back to 0. Mad annoying.

I think the cooldowns are very excessive work your butt off to get schematics then get that restricted

Use the flamethrower on an ar or br. You can pap once and run teir 3 easy. Then pap 3 and go about normal

So I have tested it before all hvt's don't count for any special infected kills I'm not sure why but I believe it should count

With containment there isnt really a no pack run unless you spend your 5 gs on something else

PRO TIP: Don't Exfil! If you play T3, get Tombstone and a sigil and go to the Dark Aether; play it, get better loot, stow your Aether Blade, die out, and enjoy the free containment levels 😊 You see, when you first go to the Dark Aether now it counts as an exfil, but when you die in the Dark Aether it DOESN'T bring down your containment level much or at all, at least for me it doesnt but mine is constantly at 40. So every game I get the best of both worlds. You know whats better than starting with 5000 Essence? Starting with 500,000 Essense and ALWAYS having an Aether Blade. You can thank me later.

Let some good schematics cool down. Use them and end in an aether and tombstone. Rinse and repeat. This way you tend to get some good gear to start each map and youve got loads of essence so can buy everything you can buy in game. I only stash a large rucksack and a sigil and the rest is filled with fear. Last nights run means i start in a mo with 100 odd grand. Leg tool, dog, armor, pap2, vr11, elder aether sigil and a jug. Then ill take in a blade and mag. Simples and all you do is play.

What’s the screen at 14:11? Is that PC exclusive or am I tripping?

did you think of factoring in how long it takes to get to containment 100?

I was so pissed I did the elder dark eather with my containment level at 300+ and exfillled properly And it still reset me

Bringi g pack 1 crystal is pretty simple to get so u never really have to start without 1 as long as u play the game....unless u die but still can craft

Sad to say ,but im almost certain they will add a reward system much like DMZ. In reality thats not the best they could do for this game. But we will be happy with it because it's better than nothing at this point

I can't get this schematic to save my life.

Gotta be honest I avoid cargo contracts. I'm there 2 kill zombies not drive around haha

They desperately need more tier 3 contracts or less cool down…it’s so hard to find a contract running solo when you have like 15 players flying to each one with scorchers

I have a containment level > 100 but I can't get the 20% discount when doing paps. Used to work before until the game errored out for everyone last week. I lost everything and had to rebuild my player's containment level > 100. I start with 5000 essence but no discount. WTF!

I think Legendary aether tools are the hardest thing to come by, I’ve done hundreds of tier 3 contracts over the past week and they barely drop.

I am always forgetting that I don't need as much essence to get pack 3 with a max cont. operator. I'm constantly still trying to make 15000 for it lol.

It’s still ridiculous to have to wait so long for 3 pap

A combine option would work ...if you have 2 pap 1 crystals you can combine to make 1 pap 2 crystal ...and so on and if you extract a item u have already it resets your cooldown on that item

Where is that combat info go zombies at??

So I was on this yesterday , game was lagging and rubber banding like crazy , I had a few games and every game I was in Tier3 alone , on one of my extractions my Containment level went from 196 to 20 for no reason , beat in mind I was getting my level back up after it lagged me out and went from 286 to 45 😡😡😡

Where do I get that car skin from?

12 hundred or 12 thousand......

Pavk 2 crystal and leg tool....straight to t3....even purple tool....basically what everyone does now

I exfil with schematics and it doesn't unlock. SUPER frustrating!

Wish they fixed the discount glitch. Half my games don't give me the pap discount 😢

Rush tier 3 do a outlast or deliver cargo buy weapon buy and pack 3 or just tombstone every game buy fun off wall or bring one then pack 3 it’s simple

They ruined it when they patched tombstone duplicate. Was way more fun

I can't even get the refinded schematic in tier 3 bro.

My operator keeps restarting contaiment levels.... So anoying.. Anybody knows why is that?

I had 186 successful exfils and died and went back to 75 . Once you reach 100, you should stay there and not lose what you have grined for. There doesn't need to be any cool downs on any schematics because we are playing against AI zombies and there isn't any advantage to using schematics everytime you play. So 2-3 day cool down is ridicuolus. It is zombies and not actually PVP. If there were PVP in zombies, I could see the cool down being 2-3 days.

When I play this game I only have a two armor plate and that’s it

If I make a channel called Coffee, do you think the police would love us Doughnuts?

Throwing knifes work
