In addition to the Static-HV and the Rhea Ripley Operator, the Season 5 update introduced the EMP Grenade, a brand-new piece of tactical equipment that adds even more choice when it comes to building the strongest loadout for multiplayer. The Tactical has featured in previous Call of Duty titles and is perfect for those looking to disrupt enemy equipment and killstreaks with ease.

How to unlock MW3 EMP Grenade

Unlocking the EMP Grenade in MW3 is a straightforward task. All players need to do is complete three daily challenges or score victories to unlock the Tactical and add it into a loadout. The EMP Grenade is an Armory Unlock meaning players will need to activate it before securing the wins or completing the objectives.

Completing the three challenges or scoring wins shouldn't take too much time. Typically, the challenges involve scoring a specific number of kills with a certain weapon category or using existing pieces of equipment to eliminate opponents.

MW3 EMP Grenade overview

The EMP Grenade is a piece of Tactical equipment players can throw. Once detonated, the area will disrupt enemy sensors in addition to disabling the electronics in the surrounding area which is particularly useful in objective-based game modes such as Hardpoint and Domination.

The equipment also disrupts the HUD of anyone standing in its detonation area, glitching various elements leaving them unable to view certain parts of how their game is going.

We recommend using it to eliminate Trophy Systems and ground-based killstreaks roaming the battlefield.

Is the EMP Grenade in Warzone?

No, the EMP Grenade is exclusively available in MW3 multiplayer so far. There's no sign if Raven Software plans on introducing the equipment but there's always a chance of the developer introducing it to spice up the existing meta.

That's all there is to know about how to get the EMP Grenade in MW3 multiplayer. For more Call of Duty, take a look at how to unlock the Quartermaster Suppressor along with the best STG44 loadout for multiplayer and battle royale action.
