Treyarch's zombie mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is filled with new players looking for fun and legacy players looking for a fresh, yet nostalgic, experience. Every aspect from a traditional zombies mode experience is stripped down and uprooted to create a new, fascinating take on a classic. Even the everlasting perk system is not safe from change.

Since its creation, the tombstone perk has been a hot topic for debate throughout the community. The MWIII zombies mode takes tombstone back to its roots and gives you a chance to dig up lost loot...literally.

What Does Tombstone Do?

This time around, the tombstone perk acts as a safety net for your rucksack in the event that you die before having a chance to exfil.

While the perk does not help you if you are revived, it is a powerful method of saving at least some of your items if you are less fortunate.

Items You Can Save

Items You Cannot Save

Stowed items in your rucksack

For Example:

Unused Perk Cans,

Aether Tools,

Aetherium Crystals

Guns

Consumed Items/Perks

Equipped Gear

How To Use Tombstone

Close

Aside from consuming the perk and dying, there is no manual action that you need to take to use tombstone and save your rucksack items.

When you launch into your next game, a tombstone will automatically be marked on your map. Travel here to collect your items.

If you die and are brought back to life, the tombstone will not appear. Additionally, if you die with tombstone, come back to life, and then exfil, a tombstone will not appear. You must die and leave the game in order to spawn a tombstone stash marker.

Where To Get Tombstone

There are a few methods for collecting perks in MWIII:

  1. Buy it at a machine (2000 essence)
  2. Find it while looting crates
  3. Earn it as a reward for completing contracts
