MW3 Perks – Official Modern Warfare 3 Perks
Unlike a lot of other Call of Duty websites, we decided to take our time to post the list of MW3 Perks that we expect to see in the latest Call of Duty. Now that we’re 99% certain we have the official list and meaning of each perk we think it’s time for us to release them to you.
Whilst this list hasn’t been officially confirmed by Infinity Ward, the perks have been revealed in the latest gameplay videos so it is extremely unlikely that these will change by the time MW3 get’s released in November. So without further ado the perks..
MW3 Perks
The perks are split into 3 tiers. You are only able to choose 1 perk from each tier, giving you a total of 3 perks per class. There are also ‘Pro’ upgrades for each perk which are generally unlocked by completing challenges for each of the specific perks.
Tier 1:
- Extreme Conditioning: Ability to sprint for longer distances.
Pro Upgrade: You can climb and jump over obstacles quicker.
- Sleight of Hand: Reload weapons quicker.
Pro Upgrade: Swap weapons faster.
- Scavenger: Pick up ammo from killed players.
Pro Upgrade: Spawn with extra ammo.
- Blind Eye: Air Support can’t target you.
Pro Upgrade: More damage and quicker launcher targeting on enemy air support.
- Recon: Explosive damage marks enemy on HUD.
Pro Upgrade: Bullet damage marks enemy on HUD.
Main difference we’ve noticed here.. there is no longer a pro ability for Unlimited Sprint and Sleight Of Hand Pro no longer affects your ADS (Aim Down Sight) speed.
Tier 2:
- Hardline: Killstreaks require 1 less kill.
Pro Upgrade: Two Assists count as a kill towards killstreaks.
- Assassin: Invisible to UAV, Motion Sensors, Heartbeat Sensors and Thermal.
Pro Upgrade: Immune to CUAV (Counter UAV) and EMPs.
- Overkill: Spawn with 2 Primary Weapons.
Pro Upgrade: Second primary weapon has 2 attachment slots.
- Quickdraw: Faster ADS (Aim Down Sight)
Pro Upgrade: Use equipment and throw grenades faster.
- Blastshield: More resistant to explosives.
Pro Upgrade: More resistant to flash and stun grenades.
Main thing we like here is the new Hardline Pro upgrade. One of the most annoying things in past Call of Duty games were when you kept racking up assist over assist making it impossible to get a decent killstreak. On top of that, it helps encourage teamwork instead of going rambo style to ensure noone steals your kills.
Tier 3:
- Sitrep: Enemy Equipment can be seen through walls.
Pro Upgrade: Enemy footsteps are louder.
- Dead Silence: Your footsteps are now silent.
Pro Upgrade: Immune to fall damage.
- Stalker: Move faster whilst aiming down your sight.
Pro Upgrade: Delay when setting off enemy claymores.
- Marksman: ID Enemy targets from range.
Pro Upgrade: Hold your breath longer whilst scoped.
- Steady Aim: Hip Fire accuracy increased.
Pro Upgrade: Aim down sight faster when sprinting.
Ok, so there you go. No more Stopping Power, Commando or One Man Army.. shows they’ve learnt from MW2.
Let us know what you think of the new perks. Tomorrow we’ll post a list of MW3 Killstreaks, so stay tuned!
Perks are looking awsome and agian no one man army means no more campers with noobtubes, haha. I can honestly say i am very impressed with the new perk layout.
LOL….scavenger bro.
I hope you can actually hear the enemy footsteps because in Black Ops you couldn’t hear them until there was a bullet in your head, you shouldn’t need sitrep pro to be able to hear the enemy.
Lol you definitely can clearly hear footsteps and tell where people are in Blops. maybe you should get a headset and learn to play with the big boys
One man army is Overkill you bumbbo
they didn’t change scavenger pro though, what’s the point of starting off with extra mags if the perk allows you to replenish ammo. Could’ve thought about that or maybe it works better for other people.
Really looking foward to the game! Perks look really good as you can class them together depending on what kind of game your playing such SOD, demolition, or domination.
Everyone misses the point here, there is no stopping power that means no penalty for using assassin (cold blood/ghost) which completely ruins the gameplay as people can camp without losing gun damage
I think quickdraw will be the balance. Everyone loves faster a d s.
No stopping power lets you use a wide variety of other tier 2 perks without having to sacrifice passive gun damage – this is a change that was made in Blops and I think we should be happy that they kept up the change in mw3
Yay im going to get assasin,dead silence, and blind eye. Then im going to go way stealthy with like a scar-L suppresed or something. if you cant tell i like being stealthy and i love how they set up the perks this time! thnx for the update. If anyone wants to play with me on xbox live black osp my GT is RaGeD X ViPeR
amazing.
comando made me kill campers that hide behind claymores
!Hardline in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will make each killstreak require one less kill. The pro will make every two assists count towards the player’s Strike Chain and make deathstreaks require one less death.”
Got-a love the new perk set-up and looks like there will be quickscoping again, which will be okay i hope
all i care is that there is quickscoping cause im sponsored
“WTF” they removed all the annoying perks from Black Ops e.g 2nd chance pro and now have introduced QS my my my how ironic
Well i hope that quick scooping is no longer an option casue its super gay
yes. i agree- quick scoping is not fair because it is a oneshot kill and it is quicker then aiming down the sights…it should be considered cheating
Quick scoping is also difficult. Try it sometime. To liken it to cheating is moronic.
its pretty damn easy actually nothing hard about it and its super gay
i hear there going to open a new game mode in mw3 that will make players play quick scoping with nothing else
I dont understand quick scoping SHOULD BOT BE CONSIDERED CHEATING why? BECASE it take FUCKING SKILS =D yes its one shot kill so??? If a sniper misses u have a chance to kill him (by u i mean anyone thats in combat woth the sniper not U) if u miss is your problem u can fkin spray the sniper down sniping is much more difficult than running with a fully automatic gun . Btw your probably not a hardcore player.
Btw sry for the spelling mistakes ( im not good at it) and sry for being a bit rude but i am against any obe that says that quickscoping is cheating.
You’re only fooling yourself. Quickscoping (and sniping in general) is only marginally more difficult than using any other weapon. The only real challenge is learning the timing of the scope in, which anyone with a brain capacity greater than a vegetable can do. The rest of the aiming is done by the aim assist.
What relevance does being a ‘hardcore’ player have to do with any of this? Is it supposed to be embarrassing to have a life outside of video games?
Don’t know what this nonsense about aim assist making QSin easy is. Maybe for the past 3 years i’ve had aim assist off because when i QS i HAVE to be on-target.
I’ve noticed that the couple of people I know who have explained to me that that is how it works, simply put, can’t QS….Strange.
“when i QS i HAVE to be on-target.”
Thanks for pointing out the obvious. You don’t see the aim snap because screen goes black for an instant when scoping in.
“I’ve noticed that the couple of people I know who have explained to me that that is how it works, simply put, can’t QS….Strange.”
I am not one of those people, and I doubt you have even seen them play either. Nice try though.
Quickscoping being difficult is not a reason for it not being called cheating, hacking is difficult, is hacking not cheating?
(Btw I wouldn’t actually say quickscoping was cheating, I can do it myself but I don’t like people doing it, but the point still stands)
I am also a part of this brick.
Isnt the 2 primary a bit overpowered i mean two guns with tubes could be pretty nasty
What you guys on about Quickscoping takes skill unlike you run n gunners look down the sight aim close your eyes and spray run n gun from mw2 was so gay acr shoots people done at sniper range quickscoping is possible in real life too Qs FTW
Quickscoping requires so much skill, an 8-year-old can do it. There really isn’t much skill involved in pointing a sniper in the target’s general direction and timing the shot with scoping in when the game’s generous aim assist does all the work.
Until you can do it without aim assist, you’re nothing more than yet another impressionable child with a misguided sense of ‘skill’.
True, my 10 year old brother was so proud of his quickscoping abilities he was bragging, so I quickly and easily learnt to quickscope and thrashed him twice in split screen simply because I was generally better at the other aspects of the game.
sleght of hand pro
quick draw pro
dead silence pro
Trickshotting class Hell Ya
Thank f*** overkill is back i loved that in world at war!
quickscoping sux COX AND DIX! even though im good at it on MW2 and KZ3
QS SUX COX AND DIX
Ha, yeah perks do look awesome. But they have the pro perks all wrong. My entire style of CoD is running and gunning, which most people don’t have the balls to do. I wish that they had UNLIMITED sprint, even if they made it like Call of Dugy: Lagg ops where u have to make it pro. Also, they do not have the lightweight perk anymore which has been on almost every CoD game. I live for that!!! And finally they’ve taken away the commando perk (teleporting knifers. You people do realize, even how frustrating it is to get knifed, that is a gaming style and u just took it away. I love to use marathon, lightweight and commando. I’ll run around and knife people. You people do realize you can easily pull out a shotgun and that pretty much solves the knifing problem? Anyways, I hope people pay attention to this and complain.
you know you are defending probably the most hated thing in the history of COD right (right behind AoO nubetubes). Commando was the lamest thing ever – say what you want about using a shotgun(youre obviously an idiot) because once in the “commando lunge” you are invulnerable. A full clip from an AA12 in the 1 second time the lunge takes would not kill a commando faggot!
I like playing against QS killers rather than camping snipers.. At least they go out there and play!!
1. AK47 silent (love the recoil kick back power)
2. Pistol with knife (for close combat)
Tier 1: Sleight of Hand (helps when you are in the killing frenzy)
Tier 2: Assassin (thermal snipers Grrr!) or quickdraw
Tier 3: sitrep (always on, as it help from getting back stabbed)
Can’t wait… Sainsbury online offer £36 squids (4nov)
Have any of you guys EVER been laid!!!!!! It’s a damn game. U ever shoot a real mp5, go to a range sometime really not like a video game.
