Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III just dropped into the PlayStation Plus monthly lineup! So, if you’re one of the players who’s about to dive in, you’d need to know the trophy grind this time around.

The good news is that MW3’s trophies/ achievements are pretty straightforward. There are a total of 40 trophies, including the Platinum one. They encompass campaign challenges, some Open Combat clean‑up, and a big Zombies grind. So, let’s find out how you can get your hands on each one of those!

All Trophies and Achievements in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III & How To Unlock Them

Keep in mind that Modern Warfare III has 40 trophies on PS4 (including a Platinum) and the same 39 non‑Platinum trophies on PS5 as DLC for Modern Warfare II. These trophies are split across three pillars: Campaign, Open Combat Missions, and Modern Warfare Zombies (MWZ). No dedicated competitive multiplayer trophies required!

The real endurance test is MWZ! The Slaughterhouse’s 50,000 kills and the Orcus/Act III trophies are where most of your hours will go.

As MW3 just landed on PlayStation Plus, you’re likely trying to decide how deep you want to go! You have the option to go for a quick campaign run, or a full Platinum grind, and everything in between.

Main Story Only (one playthrough on Regular/Veteran): Expect 6–10 hours to roll credits, depending on difficulty and how much you rush objectives. The campaign is fairly short, even with a few retries on tougher missions.

Story + Most Campaign Trophies (including all Open Combat challenges): Expect 12-15 hours total, if you clean up the mission‑specific trophies and Open Combat collectibles as you go, or via Mission Select. This gives you both Never Bury Your Enemies Alive and 141 Ready, plus almost every non‑Zombies trophy.

100% Platinum (All available trophies) run: Expect 40+ hours if you get carried straight to the Act III Orcus fight in MWZ and focus on efficient zombie‑kill farming. If you play through all MWZ Acts yourself, that can climb to 60+ hours, mostly because 50,000 kills in Zombies is a long farm even with good Outlast setups.

The nice thing is that you can blast through the campaign in a weekend thanks to PS Plus. After that, decide if the zombie grind and Open Combat completionist run are worth the extra time investment.

Are you excited to sink hours into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III this weekend and grab as many trophies as you can? How many trophies did you manage to get in 2023? Let us know in the comments.
