Season 2 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is live, adding the new Ninja vest perk for customized loadouts. This new perk is geared towards stealth and the resupply of lethal throwing equipment, but first you'll need to unlock it.

What is the Ninja vest

The Ninja vest is a new perk that can be equipped in your custom loadout to eliminate footstep sounds, provide immunity to movement reduction effects, and provide additional supply of lethal throwing equipment.

Activision says this perk does not stack with the stealth effects of the Covert Sneakers boot perk. However, this means if you use the Ninja vest for stealth, you're free to select a different type of sneaker, such as the Lightweight Boots or Tactical Pads for movement buffs.

How to unlock the Ninja vest perk

The vest is added to MW3's Armory Unlocks menu, and you'll need to complete five daily challenges to unlock it.

There are only three daily challenges per mode per day. To unlock the vest on day one, you'll either need to play a mix of multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, or you can complete all three daily challenges from a single mode to unlock a bonus challenge to earn additional armory unlock points. The dailies you get will be random across all the modes, but they are usually pretty straightforward.

Once you've earned five armory unlock points from your daily challenges, the Ninja vest will be unlocked in the Vest section of the perk menu found in Create-a-Class.

Season 1 Reloaded recently added new guns to Modern Warfare 3. If you haven't unlocked them yet, here are the full guides for unlocking the TAQ Evolvere LMG and the HRM-9 submachine gun.
