Wondering how you’ll earn XP in Modern Warfare 3? The latest Call of Duty blog post gives us some insight on how Modern Warfare 3 challenges will work, including both daily and weekly challenges, career challenges, and armory challenges. These will help you unlock new weapons, which in turn will grant you access to more of the hundreds of new camos coming to the game.

Here are the different challenge types as listed on the COD Blog:

Modern Warfare 3 Challenges Explained

Daily Challenges

Available in Multiplayer, Zombies, as well as in Call of Duty: Warzone at its launch, Daily Challenges are a set of three challenges that reset on a fixed schedule — see the in-game timer for details on how long you have to complete them. In Multiplayer, the three Daily Challenges are from three distinct categories:

• A general challenge that may not require much change in playstyle (e.g., get 7 headshots).
• A weapon challenge that focuses on a specific weapon category (e.g., get 5 headshots with LMGs)
• A special challenge that encourages exploration with specific conditions, Equipment, or Field Upgrades, (e.g., provide Ammo Resupplies to 5 players).

Career Challenges

In addition to Daily Challenges, expect an assortment of Multiplayer and Modern Warfare Zombies Career Challenges at launch. Some of these, such as match wins and kills, will come naturally by simply playing the game. Others, such as earning kills with a specific weapon category or the use of Equipment may involve changing your playstyle.

Career Challenges have several milestone steps, which award XP. You can even continue pushing to fully complete a Career Challenge, which offers additional XP and a Calling Card. Once Season 1 (and future seasons) become available, expect additional challenges unlocked at Prestige Level milestones that offer more difficult objectives and XP rewards. Expect intel on the Prestige system closer to Season 1.

Weekly Challenges

Every week during the Pre-Season, and during each Season, a new set of Challenges become available. At launch, expect there to be seven Multiplayer and seven Zombies Weekly Challenges available every week. Expect something similar when Warzone launches with Season 1.

Every Weekly Challenge awards XP on completion. If you complete five Weekly Challenges for a week, you will unlock a special attachment (Aftermarket Part) or a weapon as a weekly reward. If you earn all Weekly Rewards in a Season, you unlock a Seasonal Cosmetic reward (a Camo, for example).

Armory Unlock Challenges

Armory Unlock Challenges are a new system that lets you unlock the Weapons, Equipment, Perks, Killstreaks, and Attachments that you want to utilize. This includes many attachments unlocked through Weapon Progression. When you reach Level 25, expect to unlock the Armory Unlock Challenge System, and begin to progress and complete challenges, unlocking new items. There are a variety of items you can earn through Armory Unlock Challenges, which you can view in the Armory Unlocks Challenge Menu.

Armory Unlock Challenges are completed by Completing Daily Challenges. Each Daily Challenge completed earns you a point against your active Armory Unlock Challenge. While you can continue to earn Armory Unlocks in order, you can also “Activate” any valid item. This will now be your Active Armory Unlock Challenge, and you will begin to earn points against it as you complete Daily and Bonus Challenges.

If you complete all your Daily Challenges, you unlock a Bonus Challenge that is unique to each game. Bonus Challenges can be completed infinitely: in Multiplayer, they require winning a match, in Zombies, they require completing Contracts. If you change your mind mid-completion, don’t worry – progress against Armory Unlock Challenges is saved when you Activate a new Challenge.

Remember: If you see an item you want at the end of a Weapon’s Progression, then check the Challenges menu; you might be able to unlock it with an Armory Unlock Challenge!

That sums up Modern Warfare 3 challenges. You might have an easier time completing them if you know what guns you want to bring into each match. You can check out the complete list of new guns in MW3 here.

Modern Warfare 3 will be available this November 10 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The campaign is now out as part of early access if you pre-order the game.
