Third Person Mode is easily accessible in MW3 Zombies, but the game doesn’t do a great job of explaining how you are able to use it. Once you figure that out, though, you can freely go between First Person and Third Person, meaning you can either see the map from your character’s point of view or see your character and your surroundings from a wider perspective. Third Person Mode might be useful to scope out areas, search for something quickly, or just be a nice change of pace from First Person Mode.

To see exactly how you can use Third Person Mode in MW3 Zombies, check out my guide below.

  • For keyboard and mouse users, you can go into your Keybinds menu and set a custom keybind for this action
  • To return to First Person Mode, press Down on the D-Pad again
  • You can do this at any time you want during a Zombies match
