MW3 playlist modifiers list

Below is a full list of playlist modifiers active throughout Modern Warfare 3 Season 4:

  • Killstreak looping: Instead of running out of Killstreaks, the looping modifier allows players to earn an unlimited amount of streaks over a single life.
  • Killstreak earning: Earn points by eliminating enemy players with a Killstreak or by scoring an assist with a Killstreak active.
  • Killstreak cache: When a player is eliminated, pick up a cache containing a percentage of their Killstreak progress. Collect it to add it to your own progress.
  • Critical Countdown items: While the Critical Countdown event is active, enemies will drop items that allow players to obtain rewards at a faster rate.
