Your weapon loadout is the core of your combat effectiveness. A well-constructed loadout complements your playstyle and the game mode you're playing. Every loadout consists of:
- Primary Weapon: Your main firearm (Assault Rifle, SMG, LMG, Sniper, Shotgun, Marksman Rifle).
- Secondary Weapon: A sidearm or launcher.
- Tactical Equipment: Non-lethal utility (Flashbang, Stun, Smoke, Decoy).
- Lethal Equipment: Explosives or damaging utility (Frag, Semtex, Molotov, Throwing Knife).
- Field Upgrade: Powerful, cooldown-based abilities (Munitions Box, Trophy System, Dead Silence).
- Perks: Passive abilities that enhance your Operator.
Key Principle: Synergize your choices. If you're aggressive, choose perks and equipment that support rushing. If you're defensive, opt for intel-gathering perks and area-denial equipment.
While Modern Warfare III emphasizes kinetic firearm synergy, it mirrors the strategic depth of Code Vein by requiring players to balance weight and utility across their primary and secondary slots.
