The MW3 beta progression is fairly straightforward as players will unlock new weapons, perks, and equipment at almost every level up. Where the first few levels are more or less locked in place, once you earn custom loadouts, you’ll start getting new options that you can use to swap your gear from that point forward. This progression will continue until to reach the soft cap of Level 20 for the beta, but it may be increased further during the second weekend when Xbox and PC players will be able to join the beta via crossplay starting October 12. Here’s what players will unlock as they progress through the beta for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.

Below is a breakdown of what players will unlock as they reach Level 20. This list will be updated if the level cap is pushed later in the beta:

Most of these unlockables will be familiar to Call of Duty veterans. The only exception is the introduction of vests, a new item that effectively gives your character something similar to a class. The Infantry Vest at Level 4 boosts Tactical Sprint, the Engineer Vest at Level 10 allows you to spot enemy equipment through walls and comes with a better field upgrade recharge rate, and the Gunner Vest at Level 20 gives you increased max ammo and faster reload speed.
