COD Mobile Aether Hunt Event: Complete Details

One of the highlights of COD Mobile - Season 6, the Aether Hunt event is finally live and players can now start their grind to get their hands on the valuable Aether.

Aether Hunt Event Information

In this event, players will have to complete certain tasks by playing the new Undead Siege mode, Multiplayer, and Battle Royale to collect something known as ore which contain a substance called Aether.

There are two types of ores that players can gather,

  • The standard Yellow Ore is acquired by completing daily tasks in Muliplayer and Battle Royale game modes.

  • The more valuable Purple Ore is acquired by completing the main tasks in the new Undead Siege game mode.

As purple ore gives more Aether, it is a more lucrative way of acquiring the valuable substance. So make sure you play Undead Siege and complete the main tasks, making every run count by collecting as much of it as possible.

Players, in order to gain more Aether from these ores, can equip certain specific weapon sets from their loadout, which eventually results in improved output from every single extraction. Once enough quantity of these ores have been collected, players can extract them at the event page and claim their rewards.

Aether Hunt Event Rewards

More the amount of ores players can grind, the more aether they will collect, and more the number of rewards they will be able to unlock. The rewards which are a part of this event are as follows,

  • The zombified Richtofen – Turned Operator Skin

  • Rhe FR .556 – Undead Watcher

  • Weapon Blueprints

  • Vehicle Skins from the Horde and Infected Series

  • The Sticker – Crack Skull

  • Charm – Zombie Head

Aether Hunt Event Tips

  1. Get the more valuable purple ore by playing the new game mode Undead Siege. Not only will you earn Aether at a faster rate by playing Undead Siege, but you will also progress through the new game mode’s unique 25+ grindable rewards effectively killing two birds with one shot.

  2. Richtofen’s Main Tasks are more challenging than the event’s Daily Tasks, and they are sequential, too. Check back with the doctor between matches so you know exactly what he needs from you in the next deployment.

  3. Between matches you can spend earned Aether to permanently upgrade your abilities via Talents. Talents come in five varieties: Turret Weapon, Turret Armor, Weapon Upgrade, Toughness, and Advanced Tools. Each offers its own advantages, with ten levels in each category. The more Talents you have, the better your chances against the horde.
