Picking the right gun for your Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 playstyle is very important and, for this reason, it’s a good idea to know exactly which guns are in the latest Call of Duty instalment.

The weapons you can use in Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 range from a selection of new guns added through past seasons, the avalable selection from launch, and returning Modern Warfare 2 guns. This means you have the choice of experimenting with new guns or sticking to old favourites.

Below you’ll find all of the new and returning guns in Modern Warfare 3 in Season 3 listed, along with how many guns are in Modern Warfare 3 upon its full release.

How many guns are there in Modern Warfare 3?

There are 126 weapons in total as of Modern Warfare 3's Season 3 launch on Wednesday 3rd April 2024. Much like it's done since launch, this number will, of course, increase as future updates introduce new guns, launchers and melee weapons to the game.

This 124 total includes both primary and secondary weaponry. Season 3 has introduced 3 new weapons with a fourth slated to be added later in the season, and this is on top of many others since launch, and 35 from the base Modern Warfare 3 game. This is in addition to 77 from Modern Warfare 2 and its past seasons.

Furthermore, there are also a slew of Aftermarket Parts available in the game to earn, with another set to become unlockable via weekly challenges as Season 3 progresses.

The Weapon Select Menu tells you which weapons come from either Modern Warfare 2 or 3, so, if you want to focus on experimenting with the new guns, you can easily avoid selecting an old gun you have more practice with.

Any weapon carried over from Modern Warfare 2 will also have the Weapon Level you reached in that game in Modern Warfare 3, along with any associated attachments or camos. You can even continue unlocking both attachments and camos in MW3 and Warzone too, and they also have an entire suite of Zombies-related camos to unlock as well.

Don’t worry about missing out on any weaponry if Modern Warfare 3 is your introduction to the series, because you’ll be able to unlock the Modern Warfare 2 guns as you progress through the game.

Finally, it’s important to note that every weapon from Modern Warfare 2 has been balanced for its appearance in Modern Warfare 3. This has been done to ensure these older weapons can perform at the same level as the new guns and, as has been the case already, many tweaks and tuning are done to ensure that continues to be true for MW3's entire life cycle.

The stats which this balancing might effect are:

  • Attachment Pros and Cons values
  • Attachment value magnitudes
  • Damage location multipers (head, torso, legs)
  • Damage ranges
  • Damage values

New Aftermarket Parts in Modern Warfare 3 explained

Several Aftermarket Parts were launched in Modern Warfare 3, both at launch and through its following seasons, each with a related unlock challenge that became available to complete week-over-week.

With the launch of Season 2, there's now set to be another seven new Aftermarket Parts, each becoming available to unlock with new weekly challenges that become accessible with every subsequent week.

Don't worry about needing to play as soon as one becomes available though, as it'll be there to finish at any point during the season. Plus, if you do happen to miss any, you'll still be able to earn them after the season via Armory Challenges.

Remember - to apply an Aftermarket Part to a weapon, said weapon must first be at maximum level.
