How to Equip Dual Primary Weapons in Modern Warfare 3 – Destructoid

Equip two primary weapons in Call of Duty has been around for a long time. However, the way of doing this has changed several times. In Modern Warfare 3, this no longer involves equipping the correct perk in your class creation section. Here's how to equip two primary weapons in MW3.

Equip two primary weapons at once in MW3

Yes, it is still possible to equip two primary weapons in the latest iteration of Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3. However, you no longer just equip the Overkill perk and leave. Now you need to choose the right vest, either the Gunner Vest or the Overkill Vest.

The first lets you hold two primary weapons at the same time, lets you start each match with maximum ammo, and improves reload speed. So there are a few other reasons to equip the Gunner Vest besides just getting a good secondary.

Next, the Overkill Vest has its own set of unique abilities. In addition to a second primary weapon, you'll benefit from increased weapon switching speed and the ability to reload while sprinting. Both can be useful, especially if you're using two heavy weapons, like LMGs, which can take a few seconds to swap.

How to get the Gunner and Overkill vests

Fortunately, unlocking the Gunner and Overkill vests and being able to carry two primary weapons requires no additional effort. Just play the game and everyone will eventually unlock.

• Gunner's Vest – Unlocked by reaching player level 20
• Excessive vest – Unlocked by reaching player level 50

Regardless of the option, you will get your second primary weapon. Whether taking on a challenge or simply having a better backup option than a gun, these vests are key. Choosing what's best for you depends on what other effects they have, so the choice is yours.
