How to change loadout in Modern Warfare 3

If you're caught in the heat of battle in an Open Combat mission and could use a change of gear to suit your battle strategy, thankfully there's an easy way to do it on the run, as long as you know where to look.

Changing your loadout is a relatively simple process and requires that you search the buildings within the battlefield for a large square cargo box. For those who frequent Call of Duty Warzone, you'll be familiar with the box you need to find. Once you walk up to it, you'll be prompted to hit the indicated button to change your loadout.

Once you interact with the cargo box, you'll be taken to the loadout menu where you can equip your gear. From weapons to throwables and equipment, you'll be able to adjust what you're carrying to maximise your performance in the game according to your playstyle.

That's all there is to know about changing your loadout. For more Modern Warfare 3 intel, take a look at the best shotguns in the game. We've also got plenty of tips on how to get the best loadout with the Riveter, Longbow, and MCW 6.8, just to name a few.
