How to Equip Bolts

Unlock the Bolt Slot for Your Gun

Before you can equip a Bolt attachment for your gun in MW3, you will first need to unlock its Bolt Slot. To unlock this attachment slot, you will need to earn Weapon XP for your chosen gun by using it in MW3 multiplayer matches, Zombies, or Warzone.

Equip a Bolt via the Gunsmith

Once you have both the Bolt Slot and a compatible Bolt unlocked for your gun, you can customize your weapon and add the Bolt via the Gunsmith.

What are Bolts?

Affects Bolt-Action Firing Rate and Shooting Accuracy

Bolts are unique to bolt-action guns in MW3. When equipped, they usually affect the firing rate and shooting accuracy of your bolt-action rifles or sniper rifles.

Faster cycling will usually mean less time between shots at the cost of aim stability (takes more time to steady your aim after shooting). Longer cycles will mean you re-center your target faster after shooting at the cost of more time between shots.
