Modern Warfare 3 is fairly good about explaining its core mechanics, and while you probably didn’t have much trouble understanding the basics, there is much that needs a bit of an explanation. The Recommended Weapons tag is one such thing, so we have compiled all the information for your viewing pleasure.
What Are Recommended Weapons in Modern Warfare 3?
A Recommended Weapon is a tagged weapon that is used to unlock and complete certain challenges.
While playing Modern Warfare 3 and sifting through your loadouts, you may have noticed the ‘Recommended’ tag on a large amount of your armaments. These guns are useful for completing weekly challenges that can net you a ton of XP. If a weapon does not have the recommended tag, then it will not feature in any of the weekly challenges.
Currently, the weekly challenges feature only the new weapons introduced in MW3, but these will certainly be swapped out at random for other guns in the future. If you want a massive increase to your rank, then you will want to unlock these recommended weapons and knock out the week’s challenges ASAP.
