Best Vests in Modern Warfare 3 Ranked

Dress to impress.

Modern Warfare 3 introduced a new perk system that allows players to equip various types of equipment for additional bonuses. Aside from the gloves, boots, and gear, you’ll need to decide on a vest as well, which can help you last longer in battle. So, if you aren’t sure which one to pick, here’s our ranking of the best vests in Modern Warfare 3.

Best Vests in Modern Warfare 3

4) Demolition Vest

The Demolition Vest is one of 6 available vests in Modern Warfare 3. You unlock it by reaching level 30, which can be done fairly quickly. If you are a player who enjoys using Lethal and Tactical equipment, you should certainly pick this up, as it resupplies these items every 25 seconds.

On the other hand, the vest doesn’t necessarily do anything else beyond that, placing it at the bottom of the list.

3) Engineer Vest

The Engineer Vest helps you and your teammates spot enemy equipment within your vicinity, highlighting objects while Aiming down sights. It comes in handy for Field Upgrades, as it quickens the pace of their relatively slow recharge times.

But it is one of the best vests in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 because it allows players to equip additional items in the perk section. Once you place it on your loadout, you’ll notice that you can equip a second gear piece besides the gloves, boots, and other equipment.

2) Infantry Vest

You wouldn’t expect the very first unlockable vest to be one of the best in the collection. Yet, somehow, the Infantry-type blows it out of the water thanks to its incredibly handy running capabilities. It essentially works the same as Modern Warfare 2’s Double Time perk, increasing Tac Sprint duration and reducing refresh times.

Sprinting, in general, has been improved with MW3’s latest mechanics. Combine it with this vest, it will make you feel like you are gliding through each map. Players can also equip the Running Sneakers to produce the same effects as the Lightweight Boots, a gear item that improves movement and swimming (noise reduction for swimming, too).

1) Gunner Vest

The Gunner Vest takes the top spot due to its ability to carry two primary weapons and enhance reload speeds. I wasn’t entirely aware that the item includes the same effects as the fan-favorite Overkill perk (it’s a fairly hidden quirk), but at least it’s still available nonetheless.

The gradual pacing of a weapon’s reload speed can be quite frustrating, especially when you are in the heat of battle. Fortunately, the Gunner Vest comes in clutch with this interaction. It increases your reload speed with the added bonus of deploying with your maximum ammo.

If you are able to get the Mag Holster, you can gain the same abilities as the Mission Comlink, which reduces a Killstreak by one kill (scorestreak cost of 125.) However, keep in mind that duplicate effects cannot be stacked.

That does it for our ranking of the best vests in Modern Warfare 3. While here, be sure to also explore the relevant links below, including a list of all game modes.
