What are Weapon Vaults in Call of Duty MW3? If you played Modern Warfare 2 last year, especially at launch, you’d be forgiven for forgetting about this new mechanic in last year’s Call of Duty game. However, with the launch of the upcoming game, Call of Duty MW3 Weapon Vaults are making a return.
Before we exfil out of MW2 when the Call of Duty MW3 release date rolls around, you’ll want to get intel on this once-forgotten feature that’s making a return in Call of Duty MW3 multiplayer. It remains to be seen whether they’ll be more prominent in the next installment of the best FPS game series, but for now, here’s the rundown.
What are Weapon Vaults in Call of Duty MW3?
Weapon Vaults in Call of Duty MW3 are the “ultimate weapon blueprints”, offering all of the attachments for a certain gun, as well as allowing you to switch out the attachments and keep the style of the blueprint.
According to recent leaks, the Call of Duty MW3 pre-orders come with two Weapon Vaults, at least for those willing to pay a little extra for the Vault Edition of the game. However, you also get Call of Duty MW3 early access when pre-ordering and can play during the Call of Duty MW3 beta dates, if you pre-order that is.

For those who forgot about this feature, or never knew about it in the first place during their time with Call of Duty Warzone or Modern Warfare 2, it was first introduced with the Vault Edition of MW2, but only one Weapon Vault for the last COD game was released. Despite being expected to be the future of weapon blueprints, it was quickly forgotten about by Infinity Ward.
Will Modern Warfare 3 keep up with numerous Weapon Vaults over its one-year life? Only time can tell, but for now, you’ll at least get access to two of them if you decide to spend extra money on the premium edition of MW3.
That’s everything you need to know about the Call of Duty MW3 Weapon Vaults. If you’re a long-time fan of the series, you may be happy to know that recent Call of Duty MW3 maps leaks point to a return of some classic Modern Warfare maps, and for fans of the best game mode in COD, zombies in Call of Duty MW3 will be bringing a new version of the classic mode.
