This guide explains how the ACS field equipment works in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Activision has given fans the chance to play Modern Warfare 3 ahead of the launch of the full game next month.
Last year’s Modern Warfare II received a less than stellar reception thanks to revisions to the game’s movement and pacing. However, after jumping into the beta, players have been much more positive about MW3.
I’ve spent several hours playing the MW3 beta myself and it definitely feels much more like classic Call of Duty than last year’s game. It’s been a lot of fun so far and one of the best parts has been checking out all of the game’s new features.
One of those new features is the ACS field equipment. After trying it, I can say that it’s an incredibly useful piece of tech that adds a new dimension to objective based game modes like Domination and Hardpoint.
With it being brand new in the MW3 beta, players are asking: “What does the ACS do in Modern Warfare 3?”
So, let’s take a look at the new field equipment and explain how it works.
Modern Warfare 3 – ACS field equipment explained
This is what the ACS does in Modern Warfare 3:
The ACS field equipment can be used to capture objectives and to hack enemy equipment. To capture objectives using the ACS, all players need to do is throw the device into the objective’s perimeter – they do not need to stay within the perimeter themselves.
Over time, the ACS will capture the objective as would happen if you were stood there yourself. What’s more, any enemy devices/equipment close to the ACS will be hacked.
The official description explains: “The Automated Computer Spike slowly captures points and temporarily hacks nearby enemy devices.”
This makes the new field equipment highly useful when it comes to objective based game modes.
