After the nerf of the Crossbow in MW3 Zombies/MWZ, it’s quite confusing to figure out the best guns to use against the undead in Season 1. Especially now that we have a tier 4 threat zone in the Dark Aether, you’d definitely need a powerful weapon and gear to defeat zombies. So, among more than 60 weapons in the game, which is the best to use in MW3 Zombies Season 1? Deadbolt actual, let’s review our info, shall we?
5. Longbow
The Longbow is a weird kind of weapon in MW3. It looks like a descendant of AK-47, yet it’s categorized as a sniper rifle. Not to mention that it comes with a 30-round curved mag and a quick bolt action that is #1 among all in its class. However, it hits a very heavy shot when you pack a punch with this weapon.
Shooting down bosses with a few shots in tier 2 and 3 zones? You got it! The Longbow can take down any type of zombie with a few shots if upgraded, and if you manage to shoot accurately, you’ll also be able to kill the Mega Abomination from afar. This is the best weapon for killing the Stormcaller in MW3 Zombies.
4. TAQ Eradicator
Let’s start with the most prominent feature of TAQ Eradicator: It comes with more than 1000 reserved rounds! The mag is also large enough to kill hordes of zombies, depending on the one you choose in the gunsmith. But if you want to know the real power behind this TAQ LMG’s kick, its Accuracy + Fire Rate. This is one of the best guns in MWZ, MW3 multiplayer, and even Warzone.
3. WSP Swarm (Akimbo)
WSP Swarm is one of the most powerful weapons to use in literally any game mode in Call of Duty. This SMG can wield a 100-round ammo magazine, and it has an incredible fire rate that’ll slay the living and the undead. But if you want one of the best guns in MW3 Zombies/MWZ with the Swarm, then you’d have to use the Akimbo conversion kit on it.

2. Tyr (Snakeshot + Akimbo)
Another Akimbo weapon that can kill any type of zombie with a few shots is the Tyr pistol. This pistol looks like the Basilisk from MW2, meaning that this weapon can also wield the Snakeshot ammunition type. Do that, and double the prize with the Akimbo rear grip attachment. The result is the two-shot killing pistols in the tier 3 threat zone.
1. Lockwood 680 (Slugs)
Nothing beats the power of Lockwood 680 in MW3 Zombies/MWZ as the #1 pick among the best guns in Season 1. The vanilla version isn’t a big deal for sure. But Lockwood 680 is a shotgun, and that means you can use the slug rounds on it to overpower any weapon in the game against the zombies.
When you use slugs, you sacrifice the pallet spreads in the usual order. But have you tried pack-a-punching Lockwood 680 with the Slug rounds attachment? This will make your shotgun shoot 8 slug rounds with each trigger action! Eight times more power, plus the damage and range stats of Slug rounds, make it one of the best guns in MW3 Zombies/MWZ.
If you’re going to do top-tier missions and want to extract schematics in the Dark Aether, then make sure you’ve got at least one of these weapons with you. You could also go for the wonder weapons like Ray Gun as well, but keep in mind that you can upgrade them to level 4 using this trick! Happy hunting.
