MW3 Optics Not Unlocking – Modern Warfare 3 - Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 fans are experiencing a bug that prevents weapon attachments unlocking.

Although not confirmed as the cause, it seems to be a related to Infinity Ward recently disabling attachment tuning, which resulted in gamers experiencing a high number of crashes in Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer.

Infinity Ward said in a Tweet: “We are disabling attachment tuning until further notice to investigate crashes for users with 5 attachments tuned. If you currently have a tuned attachment equipped, you will need to unequip and reequip it to use your loadout.”

There is not fix for this issue as yet, and it’s yet to be confirmed by Infinity Ward that they’re looking into it. Some have found that restarting the game can help, but this is not an ideal solution.

It’s likely Infinity Ward will look to patch this, among others issues, in an imminent update. The weapons attachments not unlocking bug is one of a growing list of issues Modern Warfare 3 has faced since launch.

Some gamers complained that the Vault Edition rewards did not appear in game, while others on PC experienced a ‘reset rank‘ error. Most recently, there have been issues with the Showcase screen not showing the right operator, and guns disappearing from view in the lobbies.

We will update this page once a fix has been found, or if Infinity Ward comment on the issue. If you’re a serious MW3 multiplayer fan, make sure to check out our loadout guides – such as this best loadout for the M4 – to give you the edge.

How to Unlock Weapon Sights or Optics in MW3

Before you unlock the weapon sights section, you need to unlock the Multiplayer loadout. And you can unlock it by reaching level 4. Once you have unlocked the loadout, head over to the Optics of that weapon to equip different weapon sights. To unlock different weapon sights, you need to level up the progression of your weapons.

For the players that are unable to find the section, here’s how to find the Weapon Sights section in Modern Warfare 3:

  • Firstly, head over to the weapon menu and select the multiplayer loadout.
  • As you select the required loadout, choose your primary weapon and open its Gunsmith.
  • Now, select the Optics of the equipped weapon and check the different weapon sights.
  • Along with that, you will find several weapon sights that you can apply for the weapon.
  • While some of these weapon sights will be already unlocked, you need to grind to unlock some of them.
  • It can be a bit time-consuming but equipping them does have several pros and cons.
  • You can check the progression of your current weapon by hitting the Progression tab. You can find this tab at the top-right of the screen.
  • Lastly, select the weapon you want to unlock the specific weapon sights for.

As mentioned earlier, you need to level up the progression of your weapons to unlock the different weapon sights.
