As always with a new Call of Duty game, there’s a grind to level up and unlock all your weapons, perks, killstreaks, and equipment, but Modern Warfare 3‘s player progression works a bit differently. This year adds the new Armory Unlocks system, which locks specific items behind daily challenges. Here we give you some tips to get everything in the armory unlocked fast.
Amory Unlock system explained
Modern Warfare 3’s Armory Unlock system adds to Call of Duty’s grind by requiring you unlock many of the game’s items through completion of daily challenges. This means several weapons, perks, killstreaks, and other equipment pieces that you’d normally unlock through natural player progression are now stuck behind these challenges, including the trophy system, Cold-Blooded and Covert Sneakers perks, VTOL Jet killstreak, and several new weapons.
Your set of three daily challenges will refresh every 24 hours at 9 PM PT/ 12 AM ET, and you’ll want to try to do them all in order to unlock some of the essential perks and gear locked in the armory. You’ll get one point for each daily you complete, but if you complete all three daily challenges, you’ll get a bonus challenge to let you earn even more unlock points.
