All Modern Warfare 3 perks: Boots, Gloves, more

Modern Warfare 3 introduces significant changes to the Call of Duty series, notably in how it incorporates gear into the perk system. Here’s a comprehensive guide on what’s new and different.

The community expressed dissatisfaction with Modern Warfare 2’s limiting perk system, labeling it ‘horrible.’ It reached the level that Sledgehammer Games had to take action by implementing a thoroughly revised system in MW3.

In MW3, the traditional perk system has been foregone in favor of using a gear system. Gloves improve weapon handling, Boots improve operator movement, Vests offer loadout versatility, and Gear brings back familiar perks.

To make building a loadout simple, players can equip one item from each category in the game, and perks are active from the moment a match begins until it ends.
