All MW3 equipment & Field Upgrades: Every confirmed Lethal & Tactical

Modern Warfare 3‘s battlefield is enriched with an array of new Lethal, Tactical, and Field upgrades. Here’s a comprehensive list of these essential tools.

Remember, Lethal and Tactical grenades aren’t just accessories; they can be game-changers, whether you’re flushing enemies out with a Flash Grenade or using Smoke Grenades for strategic cover.

And it’s just as important to know when and where to use Field Upgrades in the game. Whether that be putting a Trophy System down on an objective to protect teammates or putting down a Munitions Box to refill ammo, they are great for helping you in a pinch.

With that being said, let’s jump right into which equipment items players can expect to see in MW3.
