If you’ve ever wanted to use a Ray Gun in CoD multiplayer, you are now in luck. Vortex is here, and there are 15 rewards to be earned, including XP tokens, calling cards, weapon stickers, and even a special animated weapon camo.

Here’s the full list of all of the rewards in Vortex and how to get them in MW3.

Vortex is a limited-time mode in MW3, and a limited-time event has been added to celebrate it. Vortex is a free-for-all mode where a random player spawns in with the Zombies Ray Gun on a selection of three special remixed multiplayer maps.

Other players can then kill the player with the Ray Gun, and then they will be able to use it themselves.

All MW3 Vortex: War’s Domain event rewards

All of the challenges in Vortex: War’s Domain are unlocked by gaining XP. This means you can unlock them by earning XP in MW3 multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone. Wherever you play during the event, you will be gaining progress toward the rewards.

Extra bonus XP can be earned if players purchase and equip the Warhorse skin for Swagger found in the “Horseman War: Ultra Skin / Tracer Pack” in the in-game store for 2,400 CoD Points.

Unfortunately the in-game display of XP for the rewards are currently bugged, according to @CODUpdates, and your currently-displayed Field Rep Progress in MW3 is not accurate. The correct XP requirements for each reward can be found below.

Here’s what you can get and how much XP is needed for each:

  • “The Goat” weapon sticker (9,500 XP)
  • Double XP token (21,500 XP)
  • “Through the Smoke” large decal (36,900 XP)
  • Double weapon XP token (56,350 XP)
  • “Ghost Fire” charm (81,100 XP)
