How to Unlock the Gunner Vest

Gunner Vest in MW3

Like most of the other equipment and weapons in the game, you can unlock the Gunner Vest by reaching a certain level. In this case, you will need to progress to level 20, which is not difficult and will not take much time if you are an active player. If you don't play MW3 that often, you should focus on accumulating as much experience as possible in a short time. There are a few tricks you can use:

  • Use XP Tokens: Using XP Tokens is a great way to level up quickly, especially if you don't play the game that much. It's easy to earn them by simply progressing through the game and completing missions. There are various XP Tokens for different time intervals of 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Use them wisely, and you'll reach the desired level quickly.
  • Complete missions: Completing weekly and daily missions is what you need to focus on if you don't have much time to play the game. Each mission you complete will give you a certain amount of experience. After completing a few dozen of them, you'll notice how much faster you progress in the game.
  • Play specific game modes: The more kills you make, the more experience you will gain as a result. Thus, it is recommended to play modes such as Hardpoint, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Ground War. In these modes, there is a large number of players who respawn quickly, so you can make plenty of kills in a short period.

Why Is the Gunner Vest Useful?

As soon as you reach level 20 and get the Gunner Vest, you'll understand why it's so useful. By equipping this vest, you can carry two primary weapons instead of one. Thus, you can take, for example, an assault rifle to kill enemies at close and medium range, and a sniper rifle to confront opponents at long distances. In addition, wearing this vest, you will also deploy with maximum ammo. This will be a significant advantage from the start of the battle. The last advantage of the Gunner Vest is its improved reloading. You will not only be armed to the teeth, but also be able to shoot almost without interruption.

The only drawback of the Gunner Vest is that when you equip it, you block the Boots slot, meaning you can't use this type of equipment. You'll be slower and noisier this way, but it's up to you to decide whether you prefer mobility or the number of weapons and ammo you carry.
