Even though there is no PvP, Urzikstan is filled with Mercenaries and zombies, including elite ones, who can easily overwhelm you, even in open areas, and take you out. To survive in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, you must make use of utility items, lethal equipment, and special aid in the form of Killstreaks and Field Upgrades.
The Sentry Gun is an automated weapon that fires incendiary-based rounds and is one of the best Killstreaks in the game. It can shimmer down the numbers and increase your survivability in the Zombies game mode, especially in higher tier zones.
