WHAT ARE BOOTS & GLOVES?

In case you haven’t heard yet; the perks in MW3 are being revamped into a new gear system! This was first reported by BobNetworkUK on X/Twitter. Bob had his account removed via DMCA, but he came back with a new account, and he wasn’t done reporting upcoming features for MW3. Recently, he’s come out with more details on the Boots & Gloves Gear options, and it gives us full details on what each pair of Boots and Gloves will do for the player.

BOOTS

Here’s the list of Boots that will be in the game:

Canvas Sneakers
Stalker Boots
Tactical Pads
Ultra Light Boots
Running Sneakers
Climbing Boots

GLOVES

Here’s the list of Gloves that will be in the game:

Assault Gloves
Custom Gloves
Scavenger Gloves
Specialist Gloves
Tactical Combat Gloves
Marksman Gloves

BOOTS BREAKDOWN

Now, it’s time to breakdown these new gear options. We’ll start with boots:

CANVAS SNEAKERS

This gear option is guaranteed to please the community; the Canvas Sneakers are essentially Dead Silence, but this time, it’s not a field upgrade! This means you can use Dead Silence the whole match and not have to wait on a recharge for an ability. For those that don’t know, Dead Silence is a perk that eliminates your footstep noise, making you silent while walking and running. In Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard, this was brought back as the Ninja perk, but in MW2019 and MW2 they were nowhere to be seen in the perk slot. Great to see it back!

STALKER BOOTS

The Stalker Boots gear option is meant to increase strafe and ADS speed. This adds to the movement changes that are already coming to MW3; helping players move faster by using gear is a good addition to have. This perk is similar to the Stalker perk from previous entries, and slightly acts like those stock or grip attachment benefits that have been around for the last couple of years.

TACTICAL PADS

The Tactical Pads gear option increases slide distance and allows for full ADS while sliding. It also increases stance transition speed & crouched movement speeds. This perk has some resemblances to the Gung-Ho perk from Advanced Warfare and WWII, while also utilizing the attachment benefits from the last few years.

ULTRA LIGHT BOOTS

The Ultra Light Boots gear option increases movement, swimming speed, and reduces the noise you make while swimming. This resembles the Lightweight perk from previous titles, and was nearly a go to perk back in the day for getting that maximum movement speed. This perk was in Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard, but was missing from MW2. Again, Sledgehammer seems to be favoring the players lust for speed.

RUNNING SNEAKERS

The Running Sneakers gear option increases tac-sprint duration and reduces it’s refresh time. This perk has been in MW2019, Vanguard, and MW2 in the form of Double Time, and has been typically useful as a Lightweight replacement, especially for those who loved to slide cancel in the games that allowed it. Now that slide cancelling is back, this perk may stay the go-to for those players.

CLIMBING BOOTS

The Climbing Boots gear option increased the climbing speed and mantling speed for players. This gear option also decreases fall damage. This resembles some of the Commando perk from the original MW2 (2009) which increased knifing lunge range, and when made a pro perk, gave you ZERO fall damage. While these boots don’t give you an increased knifing range and only decrease the amount of fall damage you can take, it’s still a nice addition.

GLOVES BREAKDOWN

Now it’s time to breakdown the gloves:

ASSAULT GLOVES

The Assault Gloves gear option improves accuracy and ADS time while jumping. Again, MW3 really wants to give players the freedom to have as much movement as possible. This used to be possible via gunsmith attachments and their benefits, so if those return, then pair those benefits with this perk and you should certainly be a forced to be reckoned with while jumping.

CUSTOM GLOVES

The Custom Gloves gear option increases weapon swap speed. This is similar to the Fast Hands perk that gave you the ability to swap weapons fast AND reload faster. Since the Custom Gloves only increase weapon swap speed, you’ll have to decide what you really need the most in your playstyle. Maybe these gloves will give you speed reload by launch since no other gloves give you speed reload, but as of now, this is all they give.

SCAVENGER GLOVES

The Scavenger Gloves gear option resupplies ammo and throwing knives from dead players. This is the Scavenger perk from MANY previous titles. Scavenger does the EXACT same thing as the gloves do in MW3, and is helpful to those who constantly need ammo at their disposal.

SPECIALIST GLOVES

The Specialist Gloves gear option allows you to throw equipment farther and reset the fuse timer on thrown back grenades. This is essentially the EOD of Bomb Squad perk without the benefits of less explosive damage. There have been some really funny clips of two people using this perk and playing a game of hot potato, so I’m glad it’s back, even if it’s not that useful for most situations.

TACTICAL COMBAT GLOVES

The Tactical Combat Gloves enables you to reload while sprinting. This is also part of the Gung-Ho perk which essentially let you shoot your gun while sprinting and sliding while also giving you the ability to reload while sprinting or sliding. The Gung-Ho perk as a whole isn’t back as it’s own individual perk, but you could most likely make a Gung-Ho loadout!

MARKSMAN GLOVES

The Marksman Gloves gear option reduces sway and flinch while ADS. This is taken from the gunsmith attachment benefits once again. If those benefits return (which they most certainly will) then you’ll be able to make some CRAZY operator builds.

THE END

Do you like the new gear options? Of course there will be more when the beta and full game launch later this year. Below is a video that explains these perks more in-depth along with more info on rewards you can already earn before the game’s launch!
