You’re likely to find the Ninja Vest indispensable during Modern Warfare 3’s second season. It appears that this vest will have a significant impact on gameplay for several reasons. Below, we delve into how the Ninja Vest operates in Modern Warfare 3.
Modern Warfare 3: How the Ninja Vest works
This vest seems poised to shift the meta of Modern Warfare 3 dramatically. While it shares a stealth playstyle with the Assassin Vest, the Ninja Vest boasts its own unique attributes.
Here are some key features that set the Ninja Vest apart:
- You gain additional Shuriken and Throwing Knives ammo.
- Shuriken and Throwing Knives replenish every 25 seconds during matches.
- The vest muffles your footsteps, making you silent.
- Effects like Flashbangs and other movements do not affect you.
Another notable aspect of this vest is that, unlike others, it doesn’t occupy a gear slot. However, if you equip another piece of gear with similar perks to the vest, that gear loses those perks. For instance, if you use Covert Sneakers, which also silence footstep sounds, having both the Ninja Vest and Covert Sneakers equipped negates the silent footsteps effect since it doesn’t stack.
How to use the Ninja Vest
Optimal utilization of this vest involves engaging in close combat encounters, leveraging its throwing weapons. If you prefer agile, stealthy attacks, then the Ninja Vest might suit your playstyle. However, it’s important to note that stealth tactics have both advantages and disadvantages.
Some advantages include being harder to detect, making less noise, and often achieving one-shot kills. Conversely, this approach may result in fewer kills overall and necessitates a more focused playstyle, requiring you to deviate from the typical Call of Duty run-and-gun gameplay.
While the Ninja Vest caters to melee players, it can be complemented by the TAQ Eradicator. Consider exploring this build guide to determine its suitability for your gameplay preferences.
Modern Warfare 3 is currently accessible via Battle.net, Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5.
