Modern Warfare 3 Season 5 brings a substantial list of perk changes that will impact your choice of vest moving forward.

There are 12 different vests in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, and all except the infantry vest received a buff in Season 5. Sledgehammer Games has added new perks or equipment slots to each vest, altering how you customize your loadouts in multiplayer matches.

These buffs address gaps that previously discouraged players from using certain vests or hindered their full potential. While these changes benefit all vests, some appear more advantageous on paper than others after the update.
