Modern Warfare 3 perks are a mixed bag of tried-and-true features and new, exciting traits. As MW3 transitions from being an expansion to a standalone game, expect to see a fresh take on the perk system. So, let’s talk about both leaked and confirmed perks in the game.
While the game will likely retain classic perks like Scavenger, it will also introduce new elements. One such fresh addition is the recently announced Covert Sneakers perk. All this comes before the announcement of the MW3 beta release date.

All Leaked Modern Warfare 3 Perks

The hype around Modern Warfare 3’s new perk system is heating up, with sources suggesting a unique twist this year. Unlike previous titles where perks were simply equipped, MW3 is said to tie perks to wearable gear like gloves, vests, and footwear.
Famous Call of Duty leaker BobNetworkUK even went so far as to tweet, now suspended, that perks will be integrated with different pieces of clothing:
- Vest: Grenadier, Tactical, Overkill, Gunner, Scout, and Infantry.
- Gloves: Scavenger, Tactical Combat, Assault, Marksman, and Specialist.
Rumoured perks are also circulating, broken down by the type of equipment they’re paired with, though these remain unconfirmed. If these whispers hold, players could enjoy greater freedom in customising their loadouts.
However, with no official word yet from Activision or Sledgehammer Games, it’s wise to approach these claims cautiously. Let’s season these speculations with a generous pinch of salt and keep our eyes peeled for upcoming announcements.
