The Infantry Vest tops our list, while Overkill is a strong option for those who like to run two Primary weapons. Then, Engineer provides strength with two Gear slots, Demolition is perfect for those who love to use Lethals, and Ninja is great if you run Melee weapons.

Gunner removes Boots which is a big loss, CCT Comms is just not worth losing your Equipment for, and Gunslinger will only be useful if you’re considering making the most out of Secondary weapons.

Finally, Assassin is great if want to go under the radar, Modular Assult Rig is an excellent Scavenger substitute, and Compression Carrier will grant you protection to enemies Equipment.

Best Vest Perk to use in MW3: Infantry

The Infantry Vest is the best and most reliable Vest Perk to use in MW3, because it provides a vital boost in mobility.

It also maintains the standard loadout selection of a Primary and Secondary weapon, one Tactical and Lethal, a Field Upgrade, and three Perks.

The Infantry Vest increases your Tac Sprint duration and reduces its refresh time, which is perfect in a game where movement speed has been increased and given more power.

The Infantry Vest also gives you plenty of options for your Gloves, Boots, and Gear Perks. Whether you want to lean more into mobility with the remaining Perks or head in a different direction, the Infantry Vest gives you that flexibility.

That was our recommendation for the best Vest to use in MW3. For more guides, be sure to check out:
