How to Get Overkill Perk in Modern Warfare 3

Modern Warfare 3’s new perk system can be relatively challenging to grasp, given that perks have now been assigned various equipment. But you can actually activate them by equipping certain gear pieces, and we’re here to show you how to get the Overkill perk in Modern Warfare 3.

Where to Find Overkill Perk in MW3

You can obtain the Overkill perk by equipping the Gunner Vest, which can be unlocked at Level 20. You may be surprised to see the item’s hidden ability like I was, as its description makes no mention of this feature and focuses more on other bonuses that it provides.

Another vest that allows you to carry two primaries is the Overkill Vest, which you unlock at level 50. This one will be a bit harder to grind for, but it offers a different range of bonuses that might fit your playstyle better. A notable difference between these two vests is that the Overkill vest doesn’t remove your boots slot.

Once you equip it, you will immediately notice an option to place a secondary primary among your loadout slots. Getting to level 20 will also provide you with the Beta Ripper and the Jak Ferocity Carbine Kit, an item that is a part of the new Aftermarket Parts collection.

Other equipment offers similar effects to common perks in the CoD universe. Namely, the Infantry Vest works just like the Double Time ability. Some of them don’t have the exact same features, but they more or less function the same. For example, the L/R Detector’s likeness to the High Alert perk is uncanny.

Nevertheless, if you are looking for one of your favorite past perks, you may need to substitute it with a gear item or combine a few together to produce the same effects.
