Hi guys,
Here are all of the Mini Bosses and the Main Boss within Operation Deadbolt in Call of Duty MW3 Zombies. Some are hard as nails, tough as your old boot, while others are light as a feather to take down. Don't under estimate some though, as some look easy peasy, but can sometimes turn into a nightmare when you least expect it.
Here are the culprits within this map and are on the zombies "I most wanna destroy list":
- The Knight
- The Bishop
- The Rook
- The King
- Mega Abomination
- Stormcaller
- Legacy Fortress Warlord
- Orcus
The Knight - Contributes Towards The Vault at H7 Grid Reference
One of the mini bosses on the map you will encounter, who drives around standing in the back of an armoured truck, is known as THE KNIGHT. Not the Dark Knight, not even a knight in shining armour riding around on a horse....it is a 21st century warfare version of a knight which has upgraded body armour and a gun that packs a high calibre punch.
He also rides around on an armoured truck that is worth several hundred horses in power and in defence.
Although all this may make him sound scary, he is actually very easily to destroy, especially with a Pack-a-Punched weapon. Level 2 Pack-a-Punch or level 3 will take him out of the Operation Deadbolt equation extremely quickly and you will wonder what all the fuss was about and why he is even classed as a boss.
Simply keep an eye out for him driving around in a single ARMOURED VEHICLE on the map, which normally follows the rail road tracks around the inner section of the map between the LOW THREAT ZONE and the MEDIUM THREAT ZONE.
The best way to slow him down and to destroy him, is to park a vehicle in front of his armoured trucks path and let it smash into it. This will slow him down enough to allow you to hop into the back and deal with him as he hides for cover behind his beloved truck which you are about to turn into tin cans in a matter of minutes.
Once you destroy him, despatch his driver as well to make sure the other bosses in the map get the message that you are not messing around.
When he is destroyed, go over to where he fell and collect the loot, where you will also find a SMART PHONE DEVICE that will "SEND A MESSAGE TO H7" which is the HIDDEN VAULT on the map that is at.....grid reference H7.
The Bishop - Contributes Towards The Vault at H7 Grid Reference
You can start to see a theme developing here in the naming of these mini bosses, as it does start to feel a bit like chess. Could it be because they are strategically placed around the map? Who knows?
You will find him in a cave near the POPOV POWER area. He is usually inside a cave with a few bodyguards in the KOTOVO BLOCKS area of the map. He has some light additional armour and sports a bladed weapon that he will try and take a swipe at you with.
Sometimes when you drive in there will be smoke popping off inside this tunnel which makes it hard to see the enemies, but also makes it easier for the Bishop to come at you with his bladed weapon, while his fellow grunts distract you with incoming fire.
As per usual, all you have to do is take him down, which again is fairly easy, and he will drop another SMART PHONE DEVICE that will "SEND A MESSAGE TO H7" and to the VAULT.
The Rook - Contributes Towards The Vault at H7 Grid Reference
Next up we are heading over to the the domain of a sniper at the hotel at the GHALIA SEASIDE area. He lives in a fancy hotel in this map with a huge swimming pool outside, lucky man, however he does not want any visitors coming over to use his hot tub or his swimming pool...so for his next pool party.....your not invited....but we will invite ourselves to be polite.
Entering this hotel building, you will find lots of booby traps along the fire exit stairwell that leads up to the floor he is on, in the form of land mines.
When you destroy them or trigger them by going prone and setting them off, you will open a door on the final floor the sniper is located on and once opened, you will be greeted by the welcoming party, in the form of a SENTRY TURRET pointed right at your head.
In front of the SENTRY TURRET is another nice little present in the form of another land mine. Simply destroy the SENTRY TURRET and the land mine and when you do, the door immediately to the right of where the turret was located is a room which contains THE ROOK.
He might be hiding in the corner or behind the bed as cover in the room, however using high explosives is an easy way to destroy him or flesh him out of his hiding place. He is not difficult at all to kill, however some shots he fires off very quickly from his sniper rifle can down you pretty quickly if you are already damaged or do not have any armour plates equipped.
Simply go in and kick some butt, then pick up the another SMART PHONE DEVICE that will "SEND A MESSAGE TO H7" and to the VAULT one last time.
Vault Location - Give me a high H5....no wait it's H7!
Even though this post is about the bosses and mini bosses, the VAULT LOCATION is....strangely enough.....at grid reference H7.
Here is a map with the location of the VAULTfrom WZHUB.GG tactical map. The interactive map made on the website https://wzhub.gg/ which allows you to bring up the overall tactical map of Urzikstan, then on the left hand side of the screen, filter down through showing only individual features on the map which is absolutely awesome:
I'm not associated with this website in any way and I'm simply using their screenshot as a reference. The map is crafted by the individuals behind this site, not by me. It appears to be consistently updated whenever a new feature spawn location is discovered, which is immensely helpful given the impressive level of detail.
Remember we mentioned about the mini bosses names being THE ROOK, THE KNIGHT and THE BISHOP? Good, because to the right hand side of the VAULT DOOR AT GRID REFERENCE H7, you will notice a CHESS BOARD.
This CHESS BOARD will have 3 BLACK PIECES knocked over, meaning that you have eliminated all 3 bosses required in order to UNLOCK the VAULT. If there is a black piece still standing, you may have thought you killed a boss, when you may be in error.
Just make sure all 3 are knocked over or the VAULT will not unlock, otherwise you will have to go on the hunt again to find the missing boss who has eluded you.
The King - Checkmate
Now all that is left is THE KING chess piece, which you are probably wondering where the heck THE KING is hiding...well....he is in the safest place on the map....well was the safest until you opened the door and let all the heat out. He is in the VAULT!
When you start to go through the LOOT BOXES in the VAULT, one of them will be a MIMIC in disguise who is a bit stronger than other MIMICS on the map, but not by much. It is especially no match for your Pack-a-Punched weapons if you have them equipped.
When he appears, as you go to loot some of the boxes, simply obliterate him into dust with no mercy. When he is finished you will get experience points for an elite zombie kill as per usual, then you can ransack the loot boxes in peace knowing that you are out of danger for now.
Vault Rewards - Payment for a Hard Days Work
In the VAULT you can get the RAY GUN quite frequently in here as it is a good reward for all the hard work you put in to get to here so it definitely is worth having a look in this vault.
A brief list of some of the things you can get in here is:
- Ray Gun
- Kill Streaks
- Gold Bars
- Self Revive Kits
- Purple Tactical Gear such as LT53 Kazimir
- Perks
- Aether Tools and much more!
Mega Abomination
This boss looks quite scary and.....if you are scared.....you have every right to be, as he is a danger to everyone in the map. He is huge, has 3 heads and looks like he works out at the gym regularly as his muscles are huge which he is either going to smack you with, try to eat you or shoot 3 giant lasers from each of his mouths at you to barbeque you.
He is found in the HIGH THREAT ZONE in Operation Deadbolt and is a formidable foe. With the right upgrades, Pack-a-Punched weapons and ammo mods though, it can make your life much much easier taking him out.
He doesn't drop anything too special, mainly AETHER CANISTERS with lots of ESSENCE in them, along with some nice pieces of loot such as 3 PLATE ARMOUR VESTS which no one can do without.
