What Is Semtex In Modern Warfare 3?
Semtex is a lethal weapon that can be thrown at any surface and stick to it. It has a short timer that will make it explode after a few seconds. Unlike the frag grenade, which can be cooked and thrown further, Semtex cannot be cooked or bounced off walls.
However, Semtex has some advantages over the frag grenade, such as it is easier to use than frag grenades, which require cooking for 2-4 seconds which renders the player vulnerable. On top of that, Semtex is also more powerful than frag grenades, with a larger explosive radius.
How To Unlock Semtex In Modern Warfare 3
Semtex is not available from the start of the game. To unlock it, you have to either reach level 25 and complete three daily challenges in the Armory or find it in the Zombies mode and escape with it in the final helicopter.
Armory Challenges
The Armory is a new feature in Modern Warfare 3 that allows you to select some of the unlocks you want, including Semtex. You can find the Semtex grenade in a list of unlockable equipment in the Armory.
Once you have selected it, you will need to complete three daily challenges that are related to the Semtex or other items you have chosen.
After you have completed three daily challenges, you will need to win one match in any mode to get Semtex. You can check your progress and status in the Armory menu.
Zombies Mode
You can find and use different weapons and equipment in the Zombies mode, including Semtex.
However, you can only use them in the Zombies mode unless you manage to escape with them in the final helicopter. To do that, you have to survive until the last wave of zombies and then board the helicopter that will arrive to rescue you.
If you have Semtex in your inventory when you board the helicopter, you will be able to use it in other modes as well. This method works for other gear and weapons too, but it depends on your luck and skill in finding and surviving with Semtex.
