Legacy Fortress keycard is one of the essential items you will need in order to trigger the boss fight in Legacy Fortress. As is tradition, you can get various rewards, such as Perks, Schematics, or even Wonder Weapons, by defeating the Legacy Fortress in MWZ.

However, the keycard is well hidden in the Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, so you may have difficulty finding it. Therefore, we’ve compiled this detailed guide to help you acquire the Legacy Fortress Keycard in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies.

How to get the Legacy Fortress keycard

The first thing you need to do is to get a high-rarity weapon as soon as possible in MW3 Zombies. To do this, you can complete any objective that is near your spawn point, such as a weapon stash or a bounty. These objectives will give you some money and loot, which you can use to spin the mystery box or purchase a weapon from a buy station.

Ideally, you want to get a purple or blue weapon, as these will deal more damage and have more attachments. Alternatively, you can use Acquisitions to upgrade your weapon’s rarity and pack-a-punch level, but this will cost more money and time.

After you have a decent weapon, you need to buy a stronghold key card from a buy station. This will cost you 2,000 money, and it will allow you to access a mercenary stronghold. These are marked on your map with orange icons and located around the map's outer edges.

However, you should avoid going to the middle of the map, as it is more crowded and dangerous. When you reach a stronghold, you need to clear out the human enemies inside and look for a safe. You can use a drill to open the safe, but this will attract more enemies, so be ready to defend yourself.

Inside the safe, you will find a random item, a triple armour chest, and a legacy stronghold key card.

The Legacy Stronghold key card will grant you access to the Legacy Fortress, which is the location of the boss fight. It is located in Part D2 of the Urzikstan map in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, west of Popov Power – indicated by a skull icon.

To enter the fortress, you need to go to the main gate and scan your key card. This will open the gate and trigger the boss fight.

That concludes our guide on how to find the Legacy Fortress keycard in the Modern Warfare 3 Zombies Interceptor mission. While you are here, check out the complete MW3 campaign missions listall Killstreaks, and our slide canceling explainer.
