Unlocking Attachments in MW3

Learn how to unlock attachments in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. Go beyond weapon leveling with Daily, Weekly, and Armory challenges to customize your loadout.

Alright, so you've hit Level 4 and unlocked loadouts in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. Awesome! You'll start seeing all these cool attachments you can slap onto your weapons to make them even better. But here's the twist: just leveling up your gun won't cut it anymore, unlike in past Call of Duty games. To actually get your hands on those sweet attachments, you've gotta do a little extra work.

Here's the deal: you'll pick an attachment you want, and then you'll need to complete a set of 2-5 challenges specifically for that attachment. Don't sweat it, though! MW3 gives you a few different ways to earn these. You've got your Daily Challenges, Weekly Challenges, and then there are the Armory Unlock Challenges. So, no matter what, there's always a path to get the gear you're aiming for.

If you're ever running low on daily challenges before snagging that attachment you've had your eye on, don't worry. The game hooks you up by giving you one challenge completion just for finishing a match. This is a pretty sweet deal because it speeds things up for getting attachments, new weapons, and even Killstreaks. You won't have to spend every single match stressing over super tough challenges, like getting a bunch of headshots with a pistol (yikes!). So, our advice? Knock out those daily challenges as soon as you can each day.

We get it, not everyone has endless hours to grind for every single attachment. If that sounds like you, we highly recommend figuring out a solid loadout for your favorite weapon.

Knowing what attachments you actually need will save you a ton of time and effort, so you're not wasting it unlocking stuff you'll never use.
