Modern Warfare 3 players will want to deck out their loadouts with all the trimmings, including equipment. So, here are all of the Lethal and Tactical equipment available in MW3.

Modern Warfare 3 is set to reignite Call of Duty players, as launch is just around the corner now that the early access for the campaign is live.

While the more glaring content such as weapons, Operators, maps, and Perks may be of more interest to players, some of the more tactical players may be wondering what Field Upgrades and equipment are in MW3.

So, with that said, here are all of the Lethal and Tactical equipment you can get in MW3.

Every Lethal & Tactical in MW3: Equipment list

Here’s a full breakdown of all the Tactical and Lethal equipment you can expect to see in MW3 at launch, as well as their descriptions:

All MW3 Tactical equipment
