How to get Overkill in Modern Warfare 3
Is there any difference between them? Well, the Gunner Vest is unlocked atplayer level 20and the Overkill Vest is unlocked atplayer level 50. That’s a 30 level difference between the two, so you’ll likely start using the Gunner Vest first. If you want tips on how to get the Overkill Vest a bit quicker, read ourhow to level up fast in MW3guide.
When it comes to each vest’s individual perks, some more notable distinctions emerge. With the Gunner Vest, you can only equip two primary weapons, meaning you’ll need to say farewell to your secondary weapon slot. You’ll also lose your boots slot. While these losses aren’t ideal, you’ll still have access to yourgloves,gear,tactical,lethal, andfield upgradeslots. The Gunner Vest also means you’ll deploy with max ammo and benefit from improved reload speed, which may be worth losing your boots depending on your playstyle. At the very least, it’s a lovely little accompaniment to your newly-unlocked double primaries.
The Overkill Vest is a little different - it unlocks the ability to equip two primary weapons, but doesn’t remove your secondary weapon slot. This means you can play with two primaries, two secondaries, or one primary and one secondary. The trade-off for this versatility is the loss of yourfield upgradeslot, though you’ll still be allowed to choose your gloves, boots, gear, tactical, and lethal options. With all these factors in mind, it really comes down to personal preference on what sort of flexibility you want and which attachment slot you’d rather sacrifice when deciding between the Gunner and Overkill Vests.
