How to Unlock All Weapons in Modern Warfare 3

By Andrea | November 15, 2023 | Categories: Weapons

Modern Warfare 3 has 37 new weapons that can be used in its multiplayer modes, as well as in Warzone and Modern Warfare 2. You also now have the option to use your previously upgraded weapons in MW2 or earn them while playing the sequel. The number of weapons available at Modern Warfare 3’s launch is 114.

Instead of using the Platform system in Modern Warfare 2 to collect new weapons, Sledgehammer Games has ditched it in favor of the new Armory Unlock system. To help you acquire all these weapons, we’ve listed down how you can unlock them below. This includes a separate list of all returning and new weapons.
