TheModern Warfare III Beta will be split into two different weekends, with more maps and game modes scheduled throughout the Beta. The Multiplayer maps will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), featuring the latest technical advancements and modern movement mechanics for a completely refreshed experience.
PlayStation Open Beta: Starting on Sunday, October 8 at 10 AM PT, the rest of the PlayStation community can begin playing the Beta. The Weekend One Beta ends for everyone on Tuesday, October 10 at 10 AM PT.
To deploy into your first Beta match, navigate to the Play section of the game menu after getting past the main title screen. Get started right away by selecting any of the Featured Playlists on display, featuring different map and mode combinations.
Weekend One kicks off with four maps and four game modes at the start of the Early Access period, with an additional map and mode being added on Sunday when the Beta opens up to all PlayStation players.
TACTICAL INTEL: Get ready to infiltrate the great outdoors of Estate. Fight for a spot in the lodge or move through the wooded perimeter to flank opponents. Beware of enemies hanging out in the scattered buildings and be ready to swap to a close-ranged weapon when engaging Operators within.
TACTICAL INTEL: Roam the streets of Skidrow and utilize the new Tac-Stance to round tight corners in this urban environment. Battle through the central building or take the tunnel and alleys to get around your enemies. Flanking opportunities are abundant here, so keep your head on a swivel.
Infantry Vest (Perk): Increases Tactical Sprint duration and reduces its refresh time. Duplicate effects do not stack. If equipped with Running Sneakers, gain the effects of Lightweight Boots instead.
Guardian-SC (Killstreak): A beam-shaped, nonlethal, area-denial weapon. Enemies entering the beam endure similar effects to a stun grenade, such as reduced movement speed, blurred vision, and removed UI.
Comms Scrambler (Field Upgrade): Disables communication with intel within its radius. Enemies will not be able to activate Killstreaks. Enemy UAV and intel systems will not detect you and your teammates. Location of the scrambler is visible in the enemy minimap.
Weekend Two gives all platforms a chance to try Modern Warfare III Multiplayer, first to those who preorder the game and then for everyone regardless of preorder status. Note that Weekend Two is a free Open Beta for all PlayStation 4 and 5 owners, regardless of preorder status.
TACTICAL INTEL: Ascend to the rooftop of a New York City skyscraper. Break out across the multilevel terrain, exploring the offices on either side, the helipad, the maintenance tunnels, and the infamous crane leading to huge longshot potential for those who brave its heights.
TACTICAL INTEL: The Orlov Military Base is narrow and full of corners and warehouses with plenty of windows to fire from. Keep an eye on everything, and either clear it out or use the fast vehicles to blaze a trail down the path to your objective.
Players can obtain a maximum level of 30 during the second weekend of the Beta, adding more unlockable items in addition to gaining access to the challenge-based Armory Unlocks. For the unlocks between Levels 1 and 20, consult the Weekend One section earlier in this blog.
Renetti (Handgun): A burst-fire pistol with a staggering fire rate and controllability in the right hands. Unlock the full-auto Aftermarket Parts Conversion Kit for the Renetti after completing an in-game challenge at max weapon level.
Upon reaching Level 25, a new level of content opens to the player. Armory Unlocks give Operators the ability to unlock more items for their Loadouts, but instead of earning this gear simply by leveling up, players must complete specific in-game challenges to access them. Consider looking through your Loadout options at this point to see which items you can unlock, as well as the challenge required to unlock them.
Juggernaut Recon (Killstreak): Juggernaut Recon gear delivered by care package. The suit is equipped with a radar that pings nearby enemies. Contains a riot shield, Haymaker, and smoke grenade.
Earn rewards by reaching Player Level milestones throughout the Beta that will persist through the launch of Modern Warfare III when it releases on November 10. These rewards include items that can be displayed in your Showcase for all to see.
Additionally, you can earn Battle Pass XP tokens for use in Modern Warfare II and Warzone by playing the Beta. You will receive 1-hour Battle Pass XP tokens based on the number of days you played (maximum 6 tokens per player). To earn a token, you must log-in and complete at least one Beta match that day to qualify. Once the Beta concludes, your account will be granted the tokens based on the number of days played.
