Find all there is to know about the MW3 Hyper Cranked game mode in this guide packed with lots of useful information.

What is Modern Warfare 3 Hyper Cranked?

Sledgehammer Games describes Hyper Cranked as a "twisted spin on traditional Team Deathmatch" where the introduction of a countdown timer increases the pace of play and the stakes of players attempting to stop the countdown clock from hitting zero.

In Hyper Cranked matches, players spawn into the match with the Cranked status already active giving them faster movement speed, reload speed, and weapon swap speed. Each kill extends the timer but when it runs out, players have an explosive ending to their streak.

How to win MW3 Hyper Cranked matches

Winning Hyper Cranked matches in Modern Warfare 3 is extremely straightforward. All players need to do is reach the score limit before the enemy team which involves attempting to beat the timer as often as possible. The arrival of new Aftermarket Parts and the Superi 46 SMG are bound to make an impact and keep the impending detonation at bay.

That's all there is to know about the Hyper Cranked game mode arriving in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer as part of the Season 4 update. For more, check out our guides showcasing the latest information on the Gundam crossover and the early Season 4 patch notes.
