Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 introduces a new mechanic that helps players unlock weapons. The newly introduced Armory Unlock Challenges system becomes available for players upon reaching level 25 in the game. However, though this mechanic adds more thrill to the game, it can also get a little too grind-y.
The Armory Unlock Challenges rewards players, allowing to unlock more features. However, players felt the work input was too much. So players figured out ways to make things easier. And one Reddit user came up with the easiest method to get progression in the Armory Unlock Challenge.

Players can prioritize three attachments, weapons, killstreaks, or equipment by adding them to their queue in the armory. They can choose which items they want to unlock first by adding them to the armory queue. However, ignoring the armory will result in unlocking random items. Once a desired item is queued in the Armory, players need to complete the challenges to get the unlocks.
Protip: Just get a Top 3 finish in Free For All and it counts as a win towards Armory Unlocks.

Players can complete daily challenges to earn points for armory unlocks. Each unlock requires a specific amount of points, and players can earn up to four points per day. Meanwhile, three daily challenges and a bonus challenge contribute to earning armory points. Further, completing all three daily Zombies challenges also grants an extra point.
While these challenges sound easy, they can be time-consuming, and that’s where the Redditor’s tips come into play. The Reddit user shared a protip on how to get the items faster. As per the tip, players need to only get a top 3 finish in Free For All and it will count as a win. The Armory unlock challenge counts the first three positions as a win and can help unlock items more easily.
Some items may have additional unlock requirements beyond points. Players should check these requirements before spending armory points to avoid potential issues.
