How to Unlock Overkill Perk in Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 introduced a major change to the Overkill Perk. In previous games, the Overkill Perk allowed players to carry two primary weapons. However, in Modern Warfare 3, this perk is now integrated into equipment pieces, such as vests, gloves, boots, and gear pieces. This guide will walk you through the process of unlocking and utilizing the Gunner Vest to enable the Overkill Perk, allowing you to carry two primary weapons in your loadout.

To unlock the Gunner Vest and utilize the Overkill Perk, players must first reach level 20 on their account. This can be achieved by playing matches and earning experience points (XP). As you participate in matches and gain kills, assists, and complete objectives, you will earn XP and progress towards reaching level 20.

Once you have reached level 20, you can equip the Gunner Vest for your character. However, it's important to note that this customization option becomes available at level 4 in your profile. So, before you can equip the Gunner Vest, you need to reach level 4 first. This can be done by playing matches and earning XP.

At level 4, you gain access to customize your character's loadout. While there may not be many unlocked weapons, perks, or tactical items at this level, it's recommended to wait until you reach a higher level before using them. This will ensure that you have a wider variety of options available to you when customizing your loadout.

With the Gunner Vest equipped and the Overkill Perk activated in your loadout, you can now carry two primary weapons simultaneously. This gives you more options and versatility during gameplay. Whether you prefer a long-range rifle and a close-quarters submachine gun, or a powerful sniper rifle paired with a reliable assault rifle, the choice is yours. Having two primary weapons allows you to adapt to different situations and playstyles, giving you a tactical advantage on the battlefield.

Apart from enabling you to carry two primary weapons, the Gunner Vest also offers an added advantage. It improves reload speed by deploying with maximum ammunition when spawned into matches. This means that you can start engagements with a full magazine, allowing you to quickly eliminate enemies without the need for frequent reloads. This advantage can be crucial in fast-paced, intense battles where every second counts.
