Where to find the Modern Warfare 3 Smokestack Parachute Easter Egg

*Pilotwings 64 flashbacks intensify*

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies can thankfully be shortened to MWZ. It’s a new rule that I’ve just established now. With that out of the way, let’s get down to business. While cruising around in the wasteland that was Urzikstan, it’s wise to keep an eye out for the Aether-infused stuffed rabbit, Mister Peeks.

This blue bunny is the herald of Easter Eggs in MWZ. With that being said, his presence isn’t always known until a challenge is completed. Such is the case with the Smokestack Parachute Easter Egg.

MW3 Zombies Easter Egg found at the Smokestack

This challenge is a bit tricky as it forces players to use a skill that is seldom touched on save for 30 seconds at the beginning of a Warzone match. That’s right, we’re going paragliding.

Located in Sector E1 is a rather large smokestack. Once you reach the top, you should spot three rings on the other side of the train tracks. After jumping from the top of the tower, pull your ripcord and start gliding towards the first ring. The trick is to try and keep your altitude so that you’re coming in just under the top of the first ring. From there, angle to the left, and you should nab the next two without much difficulty.

It’s a fun, and like the others, unconventional challenge. While the landing zone is on the border of a Tier II area, you can safely complete it entirely on the Tier I side. That being said, zombies will sometimes wander over. Keep an eye out when you collect your prize from the Reward Rift.

Finally, as I’ve mentioned in each of the other Easter Eggs guides, if you’re playing in a session with others and they’ve completed this challenge in the current session, you’ll be unable to attempt it. Turning off squad fill in the main menu can help reduce that headache.
