Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will give players new incentive to stick to a single weapon thanks to the inclusion of the new Proficiencies feature, which allows players to earn special unlocks for each weapon in their armory. This Modern Warfare 3 Proficiencies Guide will get you up to speed.

Proficiencies are a completely new feature in Modern Warfare 3. A proficiency is an extra perk that goes along your primary weapon. They are unlocked much like attachments. As you level up and complete challenges with your primary weapon, you will unlock new proficiencies for that weapon.
