If you’re wondering how to complete Automated Backup missions in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, then you’re in luck. Automated Backup is the final mission of the Tier 3 category, which requires you to activate 3 Deadbolt Turrets with Ammo Mod Circuit Boards.

MWZ Automated Backup mission guide
As previously noted, you need to activate three Deadbolt Turrets with Ammo Mod Circuit Boards in Urzikstan’s Threat Zones to complete Automated Backup.
Find Ammo Mod Circuit Boards
First, you need to find Circuit Boards, rare blue items that reward you with ammo mods. You can get them by completing objectives across Urzikstan. An excellent place to look for them is an Infested Stronghold, where you have to kill waves of zombies. Eventually, one of the reward coaches will drop a Circuit Board for you.
You have a slim chance of getting the circuit board with this method, so you may have to try it more than once. The circuit boards can also appear in various spots in the overworld, such as on the tops of gas station counters or inside the loot boxes. But the most reliable way to get the Ammo Mod Circuit Board is to visit the Strongholds.
Activate Deadbolt Turrets
The final step is to activate three Deadbolt Turrets to get ammo mods indicated by turret icons on the map. Simply head to the marked locations and use the Ammo Mod Circuit Board to activate the turret. Make sure you use different turrets, or it may not count. If you encounter any issues, get more boards and try again.
After that, the Automated Backup mission will be marked as completed, and you’ll receive the following rewards.
