How to unlock every Modern Warfare 3 operator

25 new operators are coming to Modern Warfare 3, so here is everything you need to know about adding each one to your rotation.

Modern Warfare 2 placed a heavy emphasis on new operators in Season 6. Players have the opportunity to dress up as their favorite heroes or villains for Halloween, such as Spawn, Ash Williams, Lilith, Skeletor, and more.

And the devs didn’t stop there, announcing an upcoming collaboration with Dune. At first glance, some players may feel hesitant about buying new operators out of fear of losing them when Modern Warfare 3 drops. But Sledgehammer Games stepped in and reassured fans that all MW2 operators are coming to the next game as part of the Carry Forward program.

However, that isn’t to say there won’t be new operators in MW3. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to unlock every new skin.
