MW3: Best Items From Armory Unlocks
(Updated on September 25, 2024 – updated links and format)
The variety of choices is really impressive, but still, you need to prioritize the items you unlock first. If you focus on the most useful ones first, you can use them to make it easier to complete the tasks needed to get the other items on the list. It can be difficult to choose a few of the best, but we’ve done it and will tell you what you should give preference to.
Covert Sneakers
The first on the list is Covert Sneakers, which will eliminate the sound of your footsteps. They may not be as useful in all modes, such as Dethmatch, but they will still be indispensable for stealth movement. Equipping them will give you a significant advantage in combat and allow you to easily sidestep enemies to attack them by surprise. The effect is identical to Dead Silence, but now it will be permanent.
Ghost T/V Camo
Ghost T/V Camo is another stealth item, but it works a little differently. This camouflage will protect you from being spotted by many detection methods, such as:
- UAVS
- Heartbeat Sensors
- Enemy radar sources
For experienced players, where matches really turn into a fierce war, this equipment will be indispensable. If you know the map well, you can gain a significant advantage by using this camouflage to avoid detection.
Marksman Gloves
Moving smoothly from defense to offense, we have to notice such an item as Marksman Gloves. This item is best suited for snipers, as it will significantly reduce the recoil after a shot. Thus, you can aim more accurately and often without worrying that your character will flinch after each shot. Given this, you can be a more active sniper and move around the map more regularly, while remaining accurate and cool.
Advanced UAV
UAV is an extremely useful method of detecting enemies, but its advanced version will surprise you even more. Now, you can use UAVs even more often to find out where your enemy is. What’s more, you’ll even know the direction the enemy is looking in, which can come in handy in tense situations. Unfortunately, the Advanced UAV remains just as vulnerable if the enemy shoots accurately, so use this advantage wisely.
Hijacked IFF Strobe
While other players will strive to acquire more airborne targeting systems, we recommend defending yourself against them. The Hijacked IFF Strobe looks quite innocuous, but it will provide you with good protection against enemy reconnaissance and air attacks. With the help of this item, you become unseen by tactical cameras, recon drones, thermal optics, and AI targeting systems. By combining this item with Ghost T/V Camo and Covert Sneakers, you will gain a significant tactical advantage, as you will become almost invisible.
