Gloves: Adjust your weapon and Equipment handling with Gloves that increase weapon swap speed, allow you to throw equipment farther, reload while sprinting, and more.
Here's all the Modern Warfare 3 Gloves Perks explained:
Players can equip any of the Gloves before a match to gain their preferred advantage in-game. Perks in Modern Warfare 3 remain active throughout an entire match.
Tip: The key to an effective Loadout is to pick Vests, Gloves, Boots, and Gear with complementary abilities, which further augment your Primary and Secondary Weapon, as well as the Tactical, Lethal, and Field Upgrade Equipment you are carrying.
Gloves have Perks that specifically improve the handling of your Primary and Secondary Weapons, as well influence your interactions with Tactical and Lethal Equipment. Every Vest allows you to pick one pair of Gloves from the following:
Increased weapon swap speed.
My pick for the top spot is the Quick-Grip gloves, as they give you an advantage in combat. We’ve all been in those situations where we run out of bullets during a gunfight. In that situation, you have two choices. Reload your gun (which always feels like it takes an eternity) or swap.
If you have a decent sidearm, swapping is usually the best choice, and the Quick Grip gloves let you do this faster. I’m guilty of walking around with my gun half-empty, and quickly swapping has saved my life dozens of times. For me, these gloves patch a flaw in my playstyle, so putting them at number one is an easy choice.
Throw equipment farther. Reset fuse timer on thrown back grenades.
Unlocks for Level 15: New Perk
Ordnance Gloves (Perk): Throw Equipment farther. Reset fuse timer on thrown back grenades.
Resupply ammo and throwing knives from dead players.
Scavenger Gloves may be perfect if you’re a new player who struggles to land your shots or you’re so good that you live long enough to have ammo issues. Depending on your weapon choice, ammo can be a brutal resource to manage, and Scavenger Gloves remove that problem entirely.
Scavenger Gloves are fantastic, and it feels great not to worry about ammo. This equipment narrowly misses the top spot and only just loses out to the Quick-Grip Gloves. Here’s why.
Reload while sprinting.
Reloading while sprinting is a valuable perk, but its niche uses mean I can’t rate the Commando gloves any higher. If I’m running, it’s usually to cover open ground or if I’m trying a cheesy close-range build. The issue is that sound is a big deal in Call of Duty. If a player hears you coming, they will be ready. If you’re caught reloading while sprinting, you’re dead.
Combined with the Covert Sneakers that reduce the sound of your footsteps, Commando Gloves are deadly. Outside that niche case, I prefer the other options.
Reduced sway and flinch while ADS.
While jumping, accuracy and time to ADS is improved.
Perks are active from the moment the match begins to the end, now represented across four different categories: Vest, Gloves, Boots, and Gear. The items you pick in these categories supply your Operators with various Perk-like abilities. They do not modify your Operator’s appearance in-game, so you can choose the items that offer the best playstyle benefits without effecting your style.
Vests: Equip a variety of Vests that offer special abilities in addition to determining which kinds of items are able to be equipped within your Loadout. For example, the Engineer Vest disables Lethal Equipment, but provides two Tactical Equipment pieces and an extra Gear slot.
Gloves: Adjust your weapon and Equipment handling with Gloves that increase weapon swap speed, allow you to throw equipment farther, reload while sprinting, and more.
Boots: Further enhance your mobility options with Boots that eliminate footstep sounds, increase climbing and mantling speed, and more.
Gear: The Gear slot features a greater variety of items that affect your Operator, from EOD Padding that reduces non-Killstreak explosive and fire damage to the Bone Conduction Headset, which reduces combat noise for improved identification of enemy footsteps and gunshots.
