A new take on the classic Highrise map in Call of Duty: MW3 sees Gaz ascending the complex in search of Makarov’s right-hand man, Nolan. But the real mission of Highrise is to find every weapon and item in this open combat mission.
Highrise can be completed incredibly quickly with your default shotgun in hand. While enemies lie in wait on every floor of the complex, a quick one-pump to the head is enough to keep these Konni members down. But things begin to get complicated when attempting to 100% the mission.
Here’s where to find all weapons and items for the MW3 mission: Highrise.
MW3: Highrise mission guide
The hunt for weapons and items gets increasingly difficult as the MW3 campaign progresses. Many moments in Highrise either had me losing my mind a little (or binging on chocolate to calm my nerves). I also had to mute the game after a while because hearing Gaz update Price on every floor he entered nearly made me throw him off the building.
While the map layout isn’t particularly complex, it gets confusing rather quickly as you climb various staircases and hop in and out of windows. Make sure that you look for the Ascender and Night Vision Goggles, which are important for a few of these Highrise collectibles. The primary way to ascend the building is through windowsills, balconies, and catwalks. Make sure you are using any windowsills that have a yellow sheet on them. This indicates that you can jump over them to access another floor or new area.
MW3: Highrise weapons and items
There are a total of 19 weapons and items in Highrise. There are various visual and audio indicators for each collectible. Make sure you listen out for the Supply Box audio cue of a slow beeping sound. You should also look out for any marked doors with ‘Konni’ on them and arrows that can guide you to ladders.
The floors you need to visit are the ground, fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth, eleventh, and the rooftop. Some Supply Boxes are hidden behind doors, blocked by a chair. You need to unlock these rooms either by descending from the corresponding staircase or by shooting the chair on the other side of the room (through the window).
