Call of Duty

It’s no big secret that everything featured in Modern Warfare 2 (2022) will be rolled over to Modern Warfare 3 (2023) as part of the ‘carry over’ concept. However, that doesn’t mean that Modern Warfare 3 doesn’t have some unique elements to it. For instance, there are twenty-five new Operators to unlock in the game, and they’re all tied to challenges. So, here’s our breakdown – read on to learn about all MW3 operators and how to unlock them in the game.

There may be some returning faces amongst the crew, but even they’re designed uniquely. For instance, we have Price and Ghost heading up the SpecGru faction but they’re available exclusively to those that purchase a Vault Edition of Modern Warfare 3. Almost every other character that fills out the list of MW3 Operators is available to unlock through an accessible challenge, so given enough time and effort, you can pick up the entire roster.

All Modern Warfare 3 Operators Confirmed

There are twenty-five Operators in Modern Warfare 3, and they can almost all be unlocked through challenges, but there’s a big catch. If you want to unlock all MW3 Operators, you’ll need to play multiplayer, the campaign, and Zombies. It’s a fair spread that’ll see you enjoy Modern Warfare 3 from end to end. Here’s the full roster of MW3 Operators for you to chase down:
