That’s all the Operators in Modern Warfare 3 and how to unlock them. The MW3 Vault Edition Operators are for sure going to be a fan favorite as they are the main characters from the MW3 Campaign and the Modern Warfare storyline as a whole. However, there are also some exclusive Operators, such as the Burger King pack which is only available in certain countries by purchasing a meal at Burger King.
In addition to this, you have the Operator Packs that can be brought into the store such as the Nikki Minaj Operator and 21 Savage Operator. These are some of the best skins in the game as they are completely different from the usual Operators that you can unlock by just playing. These Operator packs give you more than just the character, they come with weapon camos, vehicle skins, calling cards, and much more.
All content from Modern Warfare 2 is also carrying over to Modern Warfare 3. This means that any Operator skins you have bought in MW2 will be useable in Modern Warfare 3 as soon as it goes live. This also applies to other cosmetics such as camos, as they are all useable in Modern Warfare 3 and even useable on the Modern Warfare 3 weapons if they were earned in MW2.
