Modern Warfare 3 Pre-Season content

Usually, the start of a Call of Duty season introduces a wealth of new content ranging from a battle pass to new weaponry. Modern Warfare 3 Pre-Season works a little differently. Here's all of the content that's available during the opening weeks of the cycle:

  • Military ranks - Levels 1-55
  • Challenges
  • Ability to level up Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 weapons
  • Season 6 battle pass

What is Modern Warfare 3 Pre-Season?

Instead of diving straight into Season 1, Modern Warfare 3 Pre-Season gives players a few weeks to get to grips with multiplayer and zombies. Although there's no brand-new content, there's still plenty to do before the opening season gets underway.

Pre-Season is the perfect opportunity to rank up fast in addition to ranking up guns fast, giving you a potentially huge headstart once the Warzone Urzikstan map releases and new weapons arrive in the battle royale.
