In the chaotic world of Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode, your survival often hinges on quick thinking-and sometimes, a simple tire repair can make all the difference. Whether you’re racing to complete the Road Rage mission or just trying to outrun the undead, knowing how to fix a flat tire without special tools can keep you rolling and one step ahead of the horde. Here’s the fast and easy way to get your wheels back on the road and your mission back on track across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
In this MW3 guide, we’ll show you how to complete Road Rage so you can move on to the Tier 2 mission, Interceptor, and destroy a Mercenary Convoy.
How to repair a tire in MW3 Zombies
To repair a tire in MWZ, all you need to do is walk up to a broken tire and hold the interact button – the same one you’d use to enter the vehicle itself, which varies based on your platform and if you’re using a keyboard or a controller.
Before you can fix a tire, you’ll first need to break it. The easiest way to do this is to just pull out a gun, aim it at a tire on any drivable vehicle, and pull the trigger until the wheel pops. Once it’s broken, keep looking at the tire and the prompt will change from “enter vehicle” to “repair tire.” Hold the interact button down until the tire returns to its normal shape.
Repairing the tire only takes a few seconds and you don’t need any special tools.
How to kill 30 zombies with your car
To kill 30 zombies with your car in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies’ Road Rage mission, start by using the Tac-map to locate a nearby drivable vehicle, preferably a larger truck or armored vehicle for durability. Drive through areas with high zombie spawn rates, such as Tier I danger zones or places with many buildings, to run over zombies efficiently. Be cautious, as hitting large hordes can quickly damage your vehicle. If your vehicle’s health or fuel gets low, pull into a gas station to refuel and repair. You can accumulate the 30 kills across multiple attempts if needed, making it manageable even if your vehicle is destroyed during the process.
To finish the Road Rage mission, you’ll need to kill 30 zombies with your car. First, open your map and find a drivable vehicle. Large trucks work best here, but even an ATV can get the job done.
Once you find your car, jump inside and take it for a spin. Zombies should spawn randomly in packs of three or four as you go, on the road. Just drive or back into them and wait for the next group. You can do this anywhere on the map.
You can drive your car into higher density areas, like where the electric storms are happening. This is a faster way to finish the mission, but there’s a good chance your car will break during your spree, and you don’t want to be stranded in a bad area when that happens.
Once you kill all 30 and have repaired a tire, you’ll finish the mission.

What’s the quickest way to repair a tire without attracting zombies
Quickest Way to Repair a Tire Without Attracting Zombies in MW3 Zombies
-
Use a melee weapon to damage the tire: Instead of shooting the tire with a gun, which makes noise and can attract zombies, use a melee weapon (like a knife or similar) to destroy the tire. This approach is much quieter and reduces the risk of drawing attention from nearby undead.
-
Repair the tire: Once the tire is damaged, walk up to it and look for the repair prompt (a small cog symbol will appear). Hold the interact button to replace the tire-no special tools or items are needed.
-
Choose a safe location: Try to perform the repair in a secluded or less populated area, or have your squad cover you if possible, to minimize interruptions during the process.
By using melee instead of firearms and picking your moment, you can quickly repair a tire without alerting a horde.
What’s the fastest method to repair a tire without drawing zombies near
The fastest and quietest way to repair a tire in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies without drawing zombies near is to:
-
Shoot the tire of a drivable vehicle to pop it-using a suppressed weapon if possible to minimize noise.
-
Immediately approach the popped tire and hold the interact button (no special tools or gas station required) to repair it; the process only takes a few seconds.
For even less risk of attracting zombies, consider damaging the tire by driving over rough terrain or obstacles instead of shooting, or use melee if the game allows. Always repair in a safe or less populated area to avoid unwanted attention.
