Perks in Modern Warfare 3 offer a variety of buffs after they are used and here is how to get these perks as quickly as possible. To have a bird’s eye view of all the locations of the perks, here is a useful interactive map that will most certainly come in handy:
- Death Perception: This perk helps in spotting Obscured enemies, chests, resources, and item drops more easily. To unlock this perk, one has to go to the area of the map shown in the embedded video. It is roughly north-west of Popov Power. Once you do, you will come across a tower which you will need to climb. You will then need to jump off it and parachute through three humongous rings right in front of you. Once you do a rift will open and you will receive your perk-a-cola.
- Speed Cola: This perk-a-cola will help you be a lot more rapid and snappy while reloading and relating your armor. To obtain this free perk-a-cola you need to head to the bird statue which you can find linked above. It can be found to the left, almost in line with Popov Power. Once you reach it, you will need a vehicle. Get into it drive to the top of it and jump off. Once you do, a reward rift will grant you your perk-a-cola.
- Jugger-Nog: This will help you fight the undead for longer as this perk-a-cola will increase your maximum health. To obtain this, you need to head to north east of the Seaport District, the exact location can be found in the video. Then, right at the extinguished campfire throw a thermite or Molotov so that it lands in the middle of the campfire. This will seemingly light it up again. After that, a reward rift will grant you better maximum health.
- Stamin Up: This one will make you run faster and run for longer. For this one, you need to go to the Wallbuy weapon location southwest of Zaravan City. Enter the apartment complex’s staircase and sprint upstairs and ensure that you do it without stopping. Then you need to get to the door at the top, open it, and kill any zombies around. You will then hear a rift open up and it will grant you Stamin Up.
The 8 Free Perks to Get in Modern Warfare 3 (Second Half)
The perks in the second half get even more interesting. Some will help you target enemies’ critical damage locations. While the others will let you use your inventory even after you die.
Finding them isn’t tough at all, all it takes are some grenades, a sniper rifle with a scope, and an ATV. If you have all these at hand, go on and grab some perk-a-colas.
- Tombstone: This interesting perk will let you stash your backpack inventory at the spot where you die. One can retrieve it when one spawns next. For this, you need to go southwest of Shahin Manor. Head to the construction area shown in the video. Ascend and ensure that you have a Sniper Rifle with a scope. A crane nearby will have a teddy bear at one of its stems. Aim at it, and hover at it using your sight. This will reward you with Tombstone.
- PhD Flopper: This perk will trigger an explosion when you dive to prone. The explosion increases the higher you fall and you receive immunity from fall damage. Area-of-effect damage from weapons also has no effect on you. To find this go to the building labelled Shahin Manor, and climb the building. After that jump into the swimming pool to receive it.
- Quick Revive: This will decrease the time taken to review and help you regenerate your health faster. Grab an ATV and head to the location shown in the video. Stop at the sign and wait for an audio queue. Once you hear it, whizz towards the next signboard to receive your perk.
- Deadshot: This perk will let you hit the enemy’s critical damage locations as long as effortlessly by moving your aim toward it. This will also increase enemy critical damage. To get it, go to the location shown in the video. Aim the grenade or Semtex and throw it through the window to get your free perk.
