BobNetworkUK says each gear category represents a Perk slot. Helmets, Vests, Gloves, and Boots will act as the first, second, third, and fourth Perks, just like in Modern Warfare 2. It may sound confusing, but it's rather straightforward.

Previous Call of Duty titles have allowed players to equip three Perks as standard, with Wildcards giving them further options to equip two or more from the same category. We'll have to wait and see if Wildcards return in Modern Warfare 3 to provide another layer of customisation.

There you have it, that's all there is to know about the Modern Warfare 3 perks. For more intel on 2023's Call of Duty, take a look at our guides containing all there is to know about the reveal and whether COD Points will transfer.
