Modern Warfare 3 launch is fast approaching with the Call of Duty Next event revealing a ton of details about the game, including the return of the classic minimap, weapons revealed, and the confirmation of content carrying over from Modern Warfare 2.

How does Gear-based Perk system work in Modern Warfare 3?

Perks in Modern Warfare 3 will be available through military-based Gear, with each piece of Gear providing different functionality and attributes to the player’s experience.

Based on the information revealed, each piece of Gear will be linked to a specific Perk, giving the player a limited amount of four Gear pieces to include within their Loadout. Just like previous CoD titles, each Gear is categorized into tiers to ensure proper balance within the system.

Further, it’s important to note that when you equip certain pieces, it prevents the duplication of the same effects that some pieces share, contributing to a balanced system.
