If you’re anything like the many millions of fans beyond excited for the upcoming reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, chances are you’re already planning out your build and considering loadout options for your first multiplayer match. Does that sound about right? If so, let us help because we have the full MW3 weapons list, at least what’s known so far from leaks and data miners, coming to the game!
The MW3 Weapons List in Full
Like past iterations in the series, Modern Warfare 3 will feature a broad selection of weapons. For instance, there are assault rifles, shotguns, handguns, and iconic sniper rifles that force people to camp in a single spot for the entire round without moving whatsoever. Here’s the full list that we know so far:
Assault Rifles
- AK-556
- ANVL-B
- CDG-58
- Coscar 635
- LACH-9
- MCW
- MTZ-556
- RIVAL-9
- SAR-9
- WSP-9
DMRs
- CZ Bren DMR
- SL8
- SVK
- XM5
Battle Rifles
- BAS-B
- MTZ-762
- Sidewinder

Sniper Rifles

While many of the weapons in the game were included in past entries in the Call of Duty franchise, they’ve undergone name changes. For example, the MP5, an iconic submachine gun, is now called the LACH-9. It’s unclear why these firearms received new names, perhaps licensing issues, but they remain the same otherwise.
Recommended Weapon Loadouts for New Players
If you’re new to Call of Duty or just coming in fresh for Modern Warfare 3, then chances are you’ll want an ideal load to suit your playstyle and best any situation imaginable. The following weapons will prove quite effective in multiplayer, though balancing can change everything in a heartbeat.
- MCW
- AMR-50
- RHs 12
These three weapons prove ideal for any situation, from mid-range battles to long-range snipe fests, to running out of ammunition and swapping to a secondary to score the last kill to win the round. For more information on the upcoming FPS, check out the list of all maps in Modern Warfare 3.
