How to claim MW3 pre-order bonus

You can only get pre-order rewards for Modern Warfare 3 if you pre-ordered any of the game’s digital editions. If you’re playing the disc version of Modern Warfare 3, then you’re not eligible for pre-order bonuses. But if you pre-ordered any of the digital editions, you should get your pre-order bonuses once you log into the game. 

While it’s already too late to pre-order the game, you can still purchase any of the available editions and make the most out of the bonuses that come with them. Below are all the MW3 editions you can purchase: 

The Standard Edition available on PC only for $69.99/£69.99. 

The Cross-Gen Edition is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X for $69.99/£69.99. This edition comes with the Lockpick Operator Pack which is available to use immediately in multiplayer and battle royale game modes. 

The Vault Edition is available on all gaming platforms for $99.99/£99.99. It is designed to be the premium edition of MW3 and comes with the following bonuses: 

  • Nemesis Operator Pack with 4 skins; Ghost, Price, Makarov, and Warden)
  • BlackCell (1 Season)
  • 2 Weapon Vaults
  • Bonus tier skips: includes 50 Tier Skips, Battle Pass, and 1100 CP
  • Soap Operator Pack
  • Campaign early access

Those pre-order bonuses are worth getting as they’ll give you a bit of a headstart in the game. But if you prefer something else, you can go for the MW3 battle pass instead. If you’re already playing multiplayer, then we suggest checking some of our best loadouts including the Striker loadout as well as the KV inhibitor loadout in MW3.
