3 articlesGetting the MP 44 weapon mastery in Zombie Army 4: Dead War isn’t complicated. The only problem is that it doesn’t tell you outright what to do in the game itself. Luckily, we’re here to help you out.
Here’s a guide that will share with you everything you need to know about MP 44 weapon mastery.
Mastery MP 44 Guide in Zombie Army 4: Dead War
For starters, you don’t get the MP 44 mastery challenge unlocked until you’ve fully upgraded the gun with all 12 weapon upgrade kits.
After that’s done, the game will give you a mastery task attached to the weapon. For the MP 44, that challenge is as simple as getting a kill every 2 seconds for a total of 30 kills while using the MP 44.

After completing this, you’ll then earn the platinum weapon skin for the MP 44 and knock one of the weapon masteries off your “I can do anything I want, I got guns” tally.
Now, how exactly does the mastery counter work?
A lot of players seem to get confused and think this means 30 kills in one continuous burst. But what actually counts is each kill must happen within 2 seconds of the last one.
In essence, as long as you keep killing without breaks longer than about 2 seconds, the counter will tick toward 30. The timing requirement is real, and waiting too long between kills will reset your streak.
How to Farm for MP 44 Mastery
One of the most recommended spots to farm for MP 44 mastery is chapter maps. Ideally, choose ones where zombies clump up early so you can rack up kills quickly.
You can use Death Canal and Dead Ahead sections, especially around choke points, since hordes pile up and bullets chain easily. Make sure to set enemies to 4-player scaling on Easy to maximize density without making them too tanky.
Moreover, I recommend equipping extended magazines on the MP 44 as it helps a lot, since the stock clip can run dry before you hit 30.
Explosive rounds or baiting zombies around a fuel barrel and detonating them can get big kill chains fast. This often nets mastery with one explosion and cleanup.
Before anything else, keep in mind that you can’t start the mastery challenge without fully upgrading the MP 44.
So make sure to chase those 12 upgrade kits first through campaign collectibles, leveling rewards, and gold medals before trying the mastery run.
