One thing that should be noted about extracting equipments from Zombies: some equipments simply don't exist in Zombies (like the EMD Grenade or the Snapshot Grenade). You will have to complete the challenges for these. But the good side of Zombies is that you basically can get weapons (including MWII ones!) and a number of other equipments very easily. It's also a very good and fun experience to level up your guns!
isnt unlocking weaposn through zombies a bit of rng tho? Since wall buys and the mystery box are rng? Unless there's some secret method to get a specific weapon I'm unaware of
@@epicgamerzfail4575correct, unless a friend infils with you and drops you the gear your looking for. Still, getting the Tyr revolver at level 20 when its meant to unlock at... 50? Is a cool feeling
If you're playing zombies to extract weapons, you should also be trying to do those zombies challenges alongside them so you can knock out multiple unlocks in one round
I got the game two days ago and I haven’t been able to complete either day. Needed a Semtex kill for one but needed to unlock semtex first and yesterday my 3rd challenge was spawn with a tac insertion and I didn’t have that unlocked. Shit system is shit
I absolutely agree with Covert Sneakers and Ghost! I'd throw Trophy System in the top three as well if you play Hardpoint at all, it helps SO much. Appreciate this video as always though man, I need to get on zombies. Lol
I can definitely agree with perks being high up on the priority list, because unlike killstreaks, perks help you in all multiplayer modes. Killstreak unlocks for people who primarily play War does nothing for them, which I'd consider myself amongst that crowd. About 90-95% of my multiplayer matches has just been War so far, just like my time with COD WW2 (my #1 favorite COD & a huge factor as to why is War being one of the big reasons).
@@LookItIsHope ignore him, reading is hard. I actually didn't have a chance to play WW2 when it was around, so this game is my first time getting my hands on the war mode and I have to admit I really enjoy it, like way more that I expected. I never really liked Ground War, Invasion or coop things the put out, but War is actually a very interesting mode and I hope there's gonna be more maps for it.
i have to say war is the best objective game that doesnt involve just camping. its straight up gunplay and sheer power. you can camp all you want but the pushing team will eventually win hard haha
Problem being is that the default classes aren't that great. And if it's not taking out things like UAV's, using the Recoiless rifle on top of an LMG or just jacking up an SO-14 from the MW2 weapons is a prime way of taking down areal streaks.
Just as a heads up, you can't unlock the Flash, EMD, Snapshot, or Gas Grenade (in terms of Tacticals) via Zombies because they're exclusive to MP. Zombies has a gas grenade but it's not the same as the MP version.
I forget the name but there is a red dot sight with built-in green laser in the armory. If I'm not mnistaken, it increases ADS speed. It is basically a two-in-one attachment.
at first i thought this system was weird but now i like it. my two first unlocks were covert sneakers and ghosts and then since i wanted to grind the mp camos as fast as i can, i just started unlocking guns and completing the ones i have while unlocking new ones, you can easily get everything by spamming matches, i already got all guns and perks and almost all equipments.
I prioritized Ghost, Ninja, Stims, VTOL, Dead Silence and Advanced UAV. After playing on the 9th I figured these items would be tbe most valuable for launch. I haven't been disappointed so far with my choices. Dead Silence/Ninja/Awareness (Sit-Rep) make for a disgusting stealth build, if only stims worked like they did in MW2019, that would have made my stealth build down right evil.
Mine finally started to work when they reset last night. Check to see if yours work now. Hopefully they do. It is total bs when the system you use to unlock this stuff simply doesn't let you. If there is one thing you can't screw up it's ways of progression
@@1gamerdad287 It started working, but of course one of today's daily challenges was for using a Tac insert which I can't even unlock until I'm level 45, doesn't do me any good this early in the game. Then the stupid double XP token bug which causes them to all show locked unless you reboot, reared it's ugly head. Wow this plays more buggy than the Beta.
Covert Sneakers was the first thing I picked... After watching this, I may need to give it some thought as to what to do next. I primarily play HC so that changes whats most needed I feel... Thanks for posting Ace!
I love the new armory system It makes players prioritize WINNING if u want to get those extra Points to unlock after completing the 3/4 challenges ya got. And it also lets you pick what u want for the most part
I agree, the daily’s are challenges you complete on accident and then people actually play objective now, I think if content creators in general put less emphasis on their KD to show how good they are(not this channel) but instead on what you do to try win it would slowly transition back to how it used to be where trying to win was more of an objective than how high can you get your KD
At least IF all the previous Daily Challenges worked... 1st Grade Math seems to be way to challenging for the "Competent Devs" working at Sledgehammer WWII Games!
The problem I have with this armory system is that if you know your team is going to lose anyways, because you need wins after completing your challenges, it’s a colossal waste of time and only serves the purpose of inflating player numbers at the start. But I would say it is a better incentive of PTFO. But with higher skilled lobbies being more prevalent, it makes it unfun when you don’t have these perks, equipment, and killstreaks and you’re trying to earn them, especially solo.
@@ScrubRekker666 that’s no different to normal level unlock ones. Some people were max level after day 1 so it’s the same situation when I have to play against them to level up to get the unlocks
Sometimes I'm having a bad day and I get a notification that Ace has uploaded a video and it makes me happy 😁 I've already unlocked what I want first from the armoury but these are some great suggestions for what I'll get next!
One of the aftermarket sights in the armory has an ads buff of 5ms which is 50% less than what the non visible ads laser gives and they cant be used simultaneosly but i feel having an extra slot for attachments from it is better
@@aksu_makinen268I think it's visible. I submitted a bug report noting that text saying it's visible does not appear in the cons. I believe it's an oversight. I can see it easily. Why wouldn't opponents? Such a nice sight to do dirty with a laser visible at hip:/
I fully recommend everyone to unlock the Sneakers,Ghost and the Weapon Kits And to just have a friend drop you weapons or gear Or just find,buy,earn the weapons,lethals tacticals from Extracting in Zombies. (Do your 3 daily challenges,to activate your bonus challenge which lets you earn unlimited points) Basically making it so each match won,earns you 1 unlock point. Or in zombies complete objectives and extract
Tip in case some people are as slow as I am, on consoles, hitting the default reload button on a particular attachment puts that in the first spot on the armory unlocks queue.
Ace, are you going to do gun guide for MW2 guns in MW3? It doesn’t have to be detailed but maybe summary of each category like ARs and SMGs and stuff like that? I’m curious about how they perform since they ate ported over.
Agree with the Top 3, did the same. * Like you mentioned about Zombies and extracting, good to have a mate or 2 that get different weapons and you can then swap and exfil in 5mins. * W
I unlocked covert sneakers and ghost first. Was working thru the guns but goin to run zombies to get those and equipment 👍🏼 ill do perks next and leave everything else as a lil incentive for getting the daily missions done
Dead Silence Sneakers and Ghost were my first two unlocks. But i want to give an honorable mention to the sight you can unlock fron the aftermarket parts that has a built in laser. It has zero downsides to equip, not even an ADS penalty and its a REALLY nice, clean sight.
It says it has zero downsides, but it really should mention that the laser is visible to enemies. When I saw it, I thought it was amazing as it also increased your ADS. There really isn't a reason to use this over a standard Red Dot tbh.
I forgot about gunships. "Enemy AC130 above" callouts were the stuff of nightmares on those maps. Thankfully SBMM makes obbies so sweaty nobody's getting that anyway.
I really enjoy using that short zoom sight in zombies. With the integrated laser I will probably forego using it in multi-player. But all pros and no cons anywhere else
Thank you for noting that the Cold Blooded perk is currently not working. I thought it was just me, and the service ticket I submitted to Activision would never be addressed (other than telling me to 'try clearing your cache and restarting').
XclusiveAce, could you cover the difference between the Covert Sneakers and the Dead Silence field upgrade? What's the downside of picking Covert Sneakers over DS?
There's no significant downside of picking Covert Sneakers over Dead Silence, other than DS gives Ghost too. But DS in MWII has always been criticized because it's a field upgrade, it has duration and needs time to be used again. Covert Sneakers perk has always been the better option than DS Field Upgrade.
Whenever you’re evaluating which items to use, the first thing you should consider is whether or not it’s always active and whether or not it’s purpose is always relevant (for example, climbing boots are nice, but 90% of the time you’re not climbing).
the game has come to this point that we now have to go thru to unlock basic stuff which was always available in previous games by just ranking up,activison greed is way above this planet earth
From what I can tell, if you extract with a gun with attachments you don't have unlocked, those get unlocked. I notice a ton of armory unlocks get completed with I exfil with a random gun I found on the ground from mercs, bought off a wall or looted from something.
@@234567king I talked to a guy the other day here on RUclips who told me he drop shots even when he is behind someone, when they can't see him, when they have no idea he is there...lol what a fukn loser
I'm having so much fun on MWIII, if only they would tone down SBMM a bit it would be so much better / more consistent fun. When we play with a party of multiple skill levels, half of the party is getting slaughtered😅
The first I've unlocked were pretty much what you mentioned. I did covert sneakers, ghost, trophy system. And now doing Hijacked IFF strobe. I've got a couple things from exfiling in zombies, but only one gun so far. The MCW. The only guns I keep finding on the regular are all MW2 guns. Sucks. I have got several pieces of equipment and lethals though from zombies.
I’m a huge ghost player and I’m fine with the as long as your moving but I think there should be a 2-3 second delay to reload at least. You can’t even prone and move cause you’ll show up on radar still
@@David_1789 oh yeah you’d only see it when your team has a UAV then. Basically you have to move 24/7 or else you’re on the radar. Prone and moving is too slow to register so you’re on the radar when prone and moving. Just assume if you’re not moving at all or prone you’re on the radar. It’s not forgiving at all. Even switching from moving right to left you show up for a split second. So you want to constantly move in a circle motion if they have a UAV.
Seems like my instincts were correct about the smooth movement. Do you know if there’s a minimum area you need to travel or a minimum amount of time that needs to elapse before retracing the same spot to avoid detection?
I actually thought this system was horrible at first, but one I did my daily challenges, I got to que everything I wanted to unlock and just win matches back to back
Your lucky then cause most peoples challenges have one that doesn’t track causing a serious problem with getting to the win match bonus. Game is so messed up lol
So there are some attachments that are exclusive to Armory Unlocks… Snakeshot rounds for the TYR as an example. I went though and unlocked a bunch of attachments and aftermarket parts so that i can use them in the zombies level up process. After watching this I’ll definitely be unlocking covert sneakers before driving into MP!
Great list and video, but I just want to point out that this is not the first time we could choose how to unlock items. Black Ops and Ghosts to some extent did it already
I prioritized ghost, ninja, and cold blooded. After that i havent really focused too much because im playing zombies to lvl weapons so other items havent been as essential. I also have been working on exfil with missing weapons/lethals/tacticals im missing. Currently only need c4, throwing knife, stun, and 1 more tactical and 4 guns
Only thing I find okay about gun smith is certain attachments on your weapon that you would want you can unlock them without having to level the gun all the way up to get it
I would recommend the aftermarket parts because if u get them u can use it even if the gun is lvl 1 so the acr marksman rifle will be full auto which for me is much better than semi auto
i've been playing a lot of MWZ. never been into zombies and never played dmz but i love this mode, still figuring it all out but it's a ton of fun. and how i got most of my unlocks done...i just don't feel like sweating my ass of in mp rn...mp is great, best "wz era" cod mp with well recreated MW2 maps but i just wanna chill and MWZ is just bliss honestly.
I haven’t been able to complete either day so far. I got it two days ago. First day was Semtex kills and I didn’t have those unlocked and second day was tactical insertion and I didn’t have those either. Haven’t unlocked anything from armory yet
@@David_1789 I always loved double time I think it's a bit sad you have to dump all the perks that make your run faster if your really want to be undetectable but I guess it's only fair
For field upgrades I feel like DDoS and portable Radar are pretty strong contenders aside from the Trophy system. DDoS being a hard counter as you get in range to take something like a hardpoint to get off a good grenade or flash/stun to soften things up, and Radar being good as a personal 'ass saver' and being intel for your team when placed correctly. That said I also think that doing after market parts that are available through the unlocks only is a must for at least testing weapon viability.
I had the same idea as you and went for covert sneakers, IFF Strobe and ghost camo. I’ve tried running engineer vest with ghost and IFF Strobe but it kept giving me the default load out. I thought it was the vest but thanks for clearing up that it’s the strobe!! Working my way through some of the attachments now (slate reflector and Mk 3 reflector)
I bet Sledgehammer didn't count for the fact that I, and I suspect many others, keep quitting games mid-way through because we're not going to get that daily challenge win award.
I don't want to play Zombies. I also don't want to have to get 10x Point Blank Kills just to earn Ghost. Let me play how I want to play, and Unlock what I want given that playtime.
Has anyone noticed a change in sim assist? I’m missing shots i would have hit in mw2 because it feels like aim assist isn’t locking on - like the slow down over the target isn’t happening. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but it feels noticeably different
There is definitely something wrong with the game in that department. I have been having a serious problem with almost all of my gunfights. Going between the two games is a night and day difference. I'm sure I'll get used to it. But it is jarring to say the least. I went from earning multiple gunships in a single game in mw2 to being the worst player by far in every game. I am not the best by any means. I'm probably not even good. But there is something wrong here that I can't define.
The IFF Strobe bugged out for me and actually said "Cold Blooded" in the Armory Tab, pretty hilarious that the "real" name exists in this game. Even had the snake image.
This is an interesting system and could be fun except I fully expect the daily challenges to be constantly bugged. I have yet to be able to get more than 2 unlocks during a 24-hour period because either a challenge does not track (is broken), or a challenge requires the use of an item that is locked.
Covert Sneakers and Ghost were the first two things I grabbed, I usually run EOD to help negate grenade damage but right now it seems broken and grendades kill you even at full health so its a waste of a gear slot so might as well go Ghost.
Use the Engineer Vest and get two Gear slots, it’s worth sacrificing lethals. Think of the power a team could have if they all ran Ghost, Mission Control Comms Link, and UAV, Counter UAV.
The dg holger and fr556 are op as hell They also need to nerf snipers the 150hp kills ARs and battle rifles vs snipers that can 1 shot you anywhere in the body
My daily challenges finally started working today and just got Covert sneakers. Need ghost next and after that, I don't care about anything else, so it'll be guns next. Don't really want to engage with the zombies mode 😂
They should make it so when u have a challenge in queue, right after the current one is completed, the queue one is already next up and ready to do, so it doesn’t need to be clicked on to activate bc it’s make the queue feature useless then Better yet the whole armory system should just be like an extra way to unlock things coinciding with just ranking up how every og systems been like forever
Once I unlocked ghost and ninja the game got 100x more enjoyable 😂
hey its joe biden
Ghost literally changed the entire game for me it’s insane how big a difference it makes
The most annoying part is trying to flank and then your cinderblock feet teammates come sprinting, selling you out
I just shoot down UAVs. Destroy enemy streak while building my own and protecting my entire team. Ghost is not really needed.
Agreed
the strikeforce suppressor is a good one to unlock. It keeps you off the map and has no cons.
Ok with attachments…is it just unlocked for specific weapons or does it unlock for all weapons it’s capable for?
@@LilChop3701 all weapon its available for

@@234567kingslide canceling is very broken, should be removed, but have no issue with drop and jump shooting, has always been in the game.
I'm having so much fun on MWIII, if only they would tone down SBMM a bit it would be so much better / more consistent fun. When we play with a party of multiple skill levels, half of the party is getting slaughtered😅
The first I've unlocked were pretty much what you mentioned. I did covert sneakers, ghost, trophy system. And now doing Hijacked IFF strobe. I've got a couple things from exfiling in zombies, but only one gun so far. The MCW. The only guns I keep finding on the regular are all MW2 guns. Sucks. I have got several pieces of equipment and lethals though from zombies.
I’m a huge ghost player and I’m fine with the as long as your moving but I think there should be a 2-3 second delay to reload at least. You can’t even prone and move cause you’ll show up on radar still
There needs to be an indicator as to when you’re visible on the radar, like a High Alert type of flash on the border of the screen.
@@David_1789 there is. Your icon on the minimap. It’s get more faded when your off the map and solid when you’re on the map
I play hardcore so I guess I’ll have to live hardcore and deal without that indicator lol
@@David_1789 oh yeah you’d only see it when your team has a UAV then. Basically you have to move 24/7 or else you’re on the radar. Prone and moving is too slow to register so you’re on the radar when prone and moving. Just assume if you’re not moving at all or prone you’re on the radar. It’s not forgiving at all. Even switching from moving right to left you show up for a split second. So you want to constantly move in a circle motion if they have a UAV.
Seems like my instincts were correct about the smooth movement. Do you know if there’s a minimum area you need to travel or a minimum amount of time that needs to elapse before retracing the same spot to avoid detection?
You should make a video about the locations of all the guns that you can unlock in zombies mode
Guns are RNG in zombos
Covert Sneakers, Ghost, Adv UAV, Assault Gloves then all the conversion kits personally
Decoy granades. To whole team. The moment UAV is up, throw them. Confuse the enemy team. (Better if a bit higher SBMM) 😅
I actually thought this system was horrible at first, but one I did my daily challenges, I got to que everything I wanted to unlock and just win matches back to back
Your lucky then cause most peoples challenges have one that doesn’t track causing a serious problem with getting to the win match bonus. Game is so messed up lol
Rival-9, covert sneakers, and ghost were top 3 for me
Ghost
Covert Sneakers
Stim
were my top 3
So there are some attachments that are exclusive to Armory Unlocks… Snakeshot rounds for the TYR as an example. I went though and unlocked a bunch of attachments and aftermarket parts so that i can use them in the zombies level up process. After watching this I’ll definitely be unlocking covert sneakers before driving into MP!
The uzi (wsp-9) is sick!
I drove a opossing lobby crazy with the recon juggernaut though, on skidrow 😂
Great list and video, but I just want to point out that this is not the first time we could choose how to unlock items. Black Ops and Ghosts to some extent did it already
I prioritized ghost, ninja, and cold blooded.
After that i havent really focused too much because im playing zombies to lvl weapons so other items havent been as essential. I also have been working on exfil with missing weapons/lethals/tacticals im missing. Currently only need c4, throwing knife, stun, and 1 more tactical and 4 guns
Love your videos
Bro a total of like 4 enemies shot back in the whole length of the game
This game is so much better than the campers paradise that was the last one. dead silence and ghost, rushers best friends.
Only thing I find okay about gun smith is certain attachments on your weapon that you would want you can unlock them without having to level the gun all the way up to get it
Will there be a dedicated video for the marksman gloves? And if so, will you be testing with attachments that also help with flinch resistance?
I would recommend the aftermarket parts because if u get them u can use it even if the gun is lvl 1 so the acr marksman rifle will be full auto which for me is much better than semi auto
My top 5 were Covert Sneakers, Trophy, Stims, Semtex, and Ghost. But i managed to get Stim and Sem on Zombies so now it's 3 to go.
The aftermarker part sight that has a laser with it. Faster ADS and hip fire with no cons.
Got em all and I agree those are really needed
Do I have to wait until lvl 25 to unlock these weapons and equipment via zombies mode?
i've been playing a lot of MWZ. never been into zombies and never played dmz but i love this mode, still figuring it all out but it's a ton of fun. and how i got most of my unlocks done...i just don't feel like sweating my ass of in mp rn...mp is great, best "wz era" cod mp with well recreated MW2 maps but i just wanna chill and MWZ is just bliss honestly.
Claymores are my best friend in this game and that scatter mine. Too many sneaky people all up in my spawn
sneaks and ghost is what everyone will be running soon and hopefully that makes for more running and gunning
i’ve been using the marksman gloves on just about all my classes & it could be placebo but i feel like i win gunfights more consistently
I'd defenitely add the Shadowstrike supressor since it has no Cons what so ever.
I haven’t been able to complete either day so far. I got it two days ago. First day was Semtex kills and I didn’t have those unlocked and second day was tactical insertion and I didn’t have those either. Haven’t unlocked anything from armory yet
The best thing to unlock is the steam refund.
Because this game is actually CLASSIFIED AS DLC you can get a refund despite playtime!
I did covert sneakers, marksmen gloves, and breacher drone. Other than that just guns and stuff through zombies
I went for ninja, assault gloves and the stim first because I played a lot of s&d.
I've been having a absolute blast running around silent with ghost and a knife
Has it been discussed that the Vest system is jacked. Gunner is Overkill and Overkill is Gunner. Completely switched 😂
The Covert Boots are amazing. Finally i can run around a corner without an enemy already waiting for me
No more wasting a slot on Double Time and crouching to be quiet either!
@@David_1789 I always loved double time I think it's a bit sad you have to dump all the perks that make your run faster if your really want to be undetectable but I guess it's only fair
Isn’t the assassin vest better than ghost though?
FYI to thosevwho don't know u can play one full match of war and u get two wins if u win both rounds
Shadowstrike an hmres suppressors are a real quality of life fix
For field upgrades I feel like DDoS and portable Radar are pretty strong contenders aside from the Trophy system. DDoS being a hard counter as you get in range to take something like a hardpoint to get off a good grenade or flash/stun to soften things up, and Radar being good as a personal 'ass saver' and being intel for your team when placed correctly. That said I also think that doing after market parts that are available through the unlocks only is a must for at least testing weapon viability.
I had the same idea as you and went for covert sneakers, IFF Strobe and ghost camo. I’ve tried running engineer vest with ghost and IFF Strobe but it kept giving me the default load out. I thought it was the vest but thanks for clearing up that it’s the strobe!! Working my way through some of the attachments now (slate reflector and Mk 3 reflector)
Maybe by Christmas we’ll have a game that functions as intended!
I bet Sledgehammer didn't count for the fact that I, and I suspect many others, keep quitting games mid-way through because we're not going to get that daily challenge win award.
I don't want to play Zombies. I also don't want to have to get 10x Point Blank Kills just to earn Ghost. Let me play how I want to play, and Unlock what I want given that playtime.
Has anyone noticed a change in sim assist? I’m missing shots i would have hit in mw2 because it feels like aim assist isn’t locking on - like the slow down over the target isn’t happening. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but it feels noticeably different
Sounds like you relied on aim assist to much now that's it's been nerfed
Good lol.
There is definitely something wrong with the game in that department. I have been having a serious problem with almost all of my gunfights. Going between the two games is a night and day difference. I'm sure I'll get used to it. But it is jarring to say the least. I went from earning multiple gunships in a single game in mw2 to being the worst player by far in every game. I am not the best by any means. I'm probably not even good. But there is something wrong here that I can't define.
@@DoctorDeadbody it's because pc players cried so much that they got aim assist nerfed its nowhere near as strong now then it was in mw2
@@DoctorDeadbody maybe they just decided that aim assist was a bit too strong
The IFF Strobe bugged out for me and actually said "Cold Blooded" in the Armory Tab, pretty hilarious that the "real" name exists in this game. Even had the snake image.
This is an interesting system and could be fun except I fully expect the daily challenges to be constantly bugged.
I have yet to be able to get more than 2 unlocks during a 24-hour period because either a challenge does not track (is broken), or a challenge requires the use of an item that is locked.
Covert Sneakers and Ghost were the first two things I grabbed, I usually run EOD to help negate grenade damage but right now it seems broken and grendades kill you even at full health so its a waste of a gear slot so might as well go Ghost.
Use the Engineer Vest and get two Gear slots, it’s worth sacrificing lethals. Think of the power a team could have if they all ran Ghost, Mission Control Comms Link, and UAV, Counter UAV.
The dg holger and fr556 are op as hell
They also need to nerf snipers the 150hp kills ARs and battle rifles vs snipers that can 1 shot you anywhere in the body
You should have mentioned the renetti conversion kit.
except on Xbox I can't use the "cold blooded" perk in MW3 as it sets my guns to a default class used from levels 1-3.... as you covered already :)
First time were able to choose??
Remember ghosts ? it had by far the BEST and fairest unlock system ever. (together with black ops 1)
My daily challenges finally started working today and just got Covert sneakers. Need ghost next and after that, I don't care about anything else, so it'll be guns next. Don't really want to engage with the zombies mode 😂
Why do I keep watching these vids??? I can’t afford this game… or I mean I can’t bring myself to spend money on this game…
Ace when will you release the first gun gide? can't wait :)
They should make it so when u have a challenge in queue, right after the current one is completed, the queue one is already next up and ready to do, so it doesn’t need to be clicked on to activate bc it’s make the queue feature useless then
Better yet the whole armory system should just be like an extra way to unlock things coinciding with just ranking up how every og systems been like forever
