Modern Warfare 3 Zombies Skyscraper Stairs Run Easter Egg

Rule #1: Cardio

They say that variety is the spice of life. While I might not know who “they” are, I tend to agree with the statement. While the addition of an open-world Zombies mode to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 certainly helps, having little Easter Eggs to chase is also a nice distraction.

There are various Easter Eggs with just as many different challenges to obtain them. The “Skyscraper Stairs Run” challenges players’ running skills rather than their shooting prowess.

Where to find the MW3 Zombies Skyscraper Stairs Run Easter Egg

This challenge requires players to sprint up a flight of stairs as quickly as possible. From the base of a building to its rooftop, you’ll need to hoof it. It’s a long trek, and there might be some zombies along the way, so I advise caution and keeping a weapon that can quickly dispatch the shamblers.

Just southwest of the roundabout in Zaravan City, there is a very tall skyscraper. Head inside, and to the back right. Next to the open elevator shaft will be our stairwell. If you’re carrying two weapons, drop one as we need to move as quickly as possible.

Should you move those nimble legs quickly enough, just as you clear the exit to the rooftop, a Reward Rift will appear. Nab your loot, find the nearest Exfil site, and do a sick jump before deploying your parachute.

Like the other Easter Eggs, if someone else in the session has already completed this one in the current game, you won’t be able to complete it. As such, I advise turning off the Team Fill option before matchmaking as, in my experience, it will prevent you from teaming with others.

Rewards
