Modern Warfare 3 changes the loadout system and introduces new equipment items. We'll tell you what you need to know and what items are available for your loadouts.

Here's what it's about:

  • Modern Warfare 3 is changing the familiar loadout and perk system.
  • New equipment items are making their way into the game.
  • Below you'll find all 72 items in MW3.

How the New Loadout System “Create a Class” Works in Modern Warfare 3

The loadout system is similar to previous iterations but also different. You have a visually familiar layout where you choose your weapons and equipment. What's new, however, are the vests and other equipment items that determine the number of available items to carry. Additionally, vests, gloves, boots, and headgear offer various perks that provide you with certain advantages in the game.

You can no longer select perks separately but must now choose them based on your equipment. Your loadouts in multiplayer and the new Zombie mode, however, work differently.

While Zombies have access to your available weapon arsenal, other equipment is accessed differently, and there is Zombie-specific equipment that can be used and unlocked. In Modern Warfare Zombies, there's a different perk and field upgrade system, but there is a selection of tactical equipment and lethal weapons shared with the multiplayer.
