All ’Reactor’ weapon and item locations in MW3
The Reactor mission in Modern Warfare 3 features 29 weapon and item locations scattered across the map, offering a wide variety of fully kitted weapons and useful field upgrades. Key weapons include the Silenced Holger 556, Incendiary MCW, Minigun, RGL-80, and the Explosive Crossbow, among others. Many of these items are found inside buildings, on rooftops accessible by ascenders, or hidden behind locked doors that require creative access methods like shooting red barrels. Field upgrades such as the Snapshot Pulse, Heartbeat Sensor, and Armor Box are also available. Collecting these weapons and items enhances your loadout options for the mission and subsequent gameplay, making exploration and thorough searching highly rewarding.
There are 29 weapons and items to find in the “Reactor” mission.
1. Silenced Holger 556
All the way at the west end of the map, near where you first drop in, there’s a metal building being patrolled by two enemies. There’s a door on the west wall, but it’s blocked. The easiest way to grab this crate is to drop straight onto the roof, but you can get in other ways too – either by heading around to front and shooting the chair to unblock the door, or by climbing onto the shipping containers on the south end and jumping across to the roof. Drop inside to find the Silenced Holger 556.
2. Incendiary MCW
Straight east, there’s a larger building (not the two smaller, trailer-sized ones). There’s a rope hanging off the southeast corner to use an ascender on – if you don’t have one yet, you can find one in one of the buildings you passed. You’ll find the Incendiary MCW in a pallet drop on the roof.
3. Sidewinder
Continue east until you reach another large building with another rope hanging off of the northwest corner. Ascend to the roof and you’ll see an orange platform to the south where you can collect the Sidewinder.
4. Silenced COR-45
From the roof where you grabbed the Sidewinder, take the zip line south, and then turn right. The next weapon is in the round building with a huge E on it. Head inside and climb up the scaffolding. The Silenced COR-45 is in a small orange case overlooking the first Konni helicopter.
5. RGL-80
Once the first helicopter is destroyed (or before if you’re super sneaky), you can grab the RGL-80 from the case to the south of it.
6. Incendiary Sakin MG38
From the first helicopter, turn west. You’ll see a second-story window in the concrete building ahead of you. Hop through it to grab the Incendiary Sakin MG38.
7. KV Inhibitor
Back outside, look to the south and you’ll spot a huge radio tower. Head over to its base to find a rope you can ascend. Take it up to the sniper’s nest to find the KV Inhibitor.
8. Minigun
Turn right (east) from there and look below you at the fire station. On the highest part of the roof, there’s a small room you can enter through the (missing) windows – look for the ⦻ painted on the wall. Inside, you’ll find a broken air vent that will let you see to the ground floor. Shoot the explosive barrel at the bottom of the shaft to unblock the closet door. Drop down to the ground and make your way to the door you just opened for the Minigun.
9. Snapshot Pulse
On your way out of the fire station, you’ll pass the crate with the Snapshot Pulse field upgrade.
10. Incendiary Haymaker
From the fire station, head northeast and through the tunnel marked B1. Hack the turret and deal with the guards, and then you can walk forward to grab the Incendiary Haymaker.
11. HCR 56
The crate for the HCR 56 is just past the Incendiary Haymaker.
12. Heartbeat Sensor
Keep heading north-northeast along the corridor and hop into the round room. Take the ramp on the left up to the second floor. The Heartbeat Sensor will be in a crate on the ground next to a rope. Ignore the rope for a second, though.
13. Silenced Expedite 12
Head to the northwest corner of the building you’re on, and you’ll find the Silenced Expedite 12 next to a zip line.
14. Incendiary FJX Imperium
Head back to where you picked up the Heartbeat Sensor and ascend the rope to the huge crane overhead. Turn to the southeast and follow the gantry to the end to find the Incendiary FJX Imperium sniper rifle.
15. Munitions Box
Just below you and to the west, you’ll see a camouflage awning on a roof. Get down to it to find the Munitions Box field upgrade.
16. VEL 46
From the Munitions Box, if you look to the southeast, you’ll spot a trailer with the Silenced VEL 46 on the roof.
17. Armor Box
Drop off the roof on the south end of the trailer and duck back inside for the Armor Box field upgrade.
18. Holger 26
There’s a Konni helicopter to the southeast of the trailer. You’ll find the Holger 26 in a crate to the south.
19. Cronen Squall
The Cronen Squall is in a crate right next to the Holger 26.
20. Fennec 45
To the northeast of the helicopter, you’ll find the Fennec 45 in a small warehouse.
21. Incendiary Bryson 800
Head through the doors on the north wall of that same warehouse, and the doors leading to the Incendiary Bryson 800 are directly ahead of you.
22. Silenced Lachmann Sub
From the Bryson 800, head northeast through the door marked G5. The Silenced Lachmann Sub will be just inside.
23. Signal 50
Use the various walkways and ladders to climb to the roof of the reactor building. You’ll find the Signal 50 on the southern edge overlooking the helicopter.
24. Explosive Crossbow
From the Signal 50, head northwest across the roof. Hop over to the lip around the dome of the reactor and follow the western edge of that roof. You’ll find the Explosive Crossbow at the far end.
25. Incendiary MTZ Interceptor
From the Explosive Crossbow, look down to the ground on your left (west). You’ll see the Incendiary MTZ Interceptor on the bed of a truck.
26. Anti-Armor Rounds
From that truck, head northeast. Take the first right to jump up onto a ledge and follow the new corridor. Take the first left into the low garage, and you’ll find the Anti-Armor Rounds on your left.
27. PILA
Continue north to the third Konni helicopter. The PILA is in an orange crate to the east.
28. Hybrid STB 556
The Hybrid STB 556 is on the west side of the same helicopter.
29. Basilisk
Head west from the Konni helicopter and pass through the gate. There’s a small office building to the north. Use the AC unit against the northern wall to climb up to the roof. Smash through the skylight and drop into the blocked office, and you’ll find the Basilisk handgun in an orange case on the sofa.

Where are the most hidden weapon locations in the Reactor map in MW3
The areas with the most hidden weapon locations in the Reactor map of Modern Warfare 3 are primarily around the circular building in the middle of the map and the northeastern section near the helicopters. Key clusters include:
-
The circular building in the center, which houses multiple weapons such as the Silenced Expedite 12 shotgun, Heartbeat Sensor, Incendiary Haymaker shotgun, HCR 56 LMG, and a Munitions Box, all located on or around its floors and staircases.
-
The northeastern area near the helicopters, where you can find weapons like the Hybrid STB-556 assault rifle, Pila launcher, Anti-Armor Rounds, and the Incendiary MTZ Interceptor marksman rifle.
-
Additionally, the southwestern corner features several weapon locations including the Incendiary Sakin MG38 LMG, KV Inhibitor sniper rifle in a sniper’s nest, and the Minigun inside the fire station.
These zones collectively contain the highest concentration of the 29 hidden weapons and items scattered across the Reactor map, making them prime targets for players seeking to fully arm Captain Price during the mission.
Which hidden weapon locations in Reactor are hardest to access
The hardest hidden weapon locations in the Reactor map of Modern Warfare 3 are those that require multi-step access involving climbing, shooting obstacles, or navigating locked rooms:
-
Minigun location inside the fire station building (D6 area): You must reach the rooftop, find a hole in the floor, shoot an explosive barrel next to a chair blocking a door, then return to the ground floor to enter through the now-unlocked door to access the supply box.
-
KV Inhibitor sniper rifle at the top of the radio tower (C6): This requires ascending a rope beneath the tower to reach the very top, which can be tricky due to enemy presence and precise climbing.
-
Explosive Crossbow on the rooftop near large pipes (G5): You need to climb a rope at the end of pipes on a white-tiled building, then maneuver over a concrete ledge to reach the supply box.
-
Incendiary FJX Imperium on a crane (F5): Access involves climbing a rope beside another supply box and following a narrow catwalk on top of a crane, which demands careful navigation.
-
Basilisk in a locked room with a glass ceiling (north edge): You must reach the roof and enter through the glass ceiling to access this supply box, which is otherwise inaccessible from ground level.
These locations stand out for requiring environmental interaction, careful movement, and sometimes destroying obstacles to gain entry, making them the most challenging hidden weapon spots on the Reactor map.
