MW3 launches with 24 operators, but some will require a little work to unlock.
By S.E. Doster on
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 releases with 24 new operators to unlock and use within the game at launch, which can be used across multiplayer and Zombies, and eventually Warzone. Here we list all your operator choices and how you can unlock them.
Modern Warfare 3 operators are divided into two different factions: SpecGru and KorTac. There will be a selection of mil-sim operators immediately available to you, others will be available to unlock with an in-game challenge, and some will require the purchase of a specific edition of the game.
These aren't currently available for use in the existing Warzone game. MW3's integration will arrive in Warzone with the first official season, which should be sometime in December.
Additionally, any operators you unlocked in Modern Warfare 2 will carry over to Modern Warfare 3 as part of Call of Duty's new Carry Forward program. This lets you keep using Spawn, Nicki Minaj, Homelander, and any other operator you collected from last year's game.
Here’s a list of every MW3 Operator, their faction, and how to unlock them:
