The Hijacked IFF Strobe, a piece of equipment in Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer, offers a unique tactical advantage.
Inspired by real-world military technology, it provides you with a distinctive way to outsmart your enemies.
In this ONE Esports guide, we delve into the function of this perk and how to use it effectively in the game.
What is Hijacked IFF Strobe in MW3?
Imagine a wearable device that scrambles enemy AI’s perception, making you appear as a friendly unit. That’s the gist of the Hijacked IFF Strobe, a gear perk in MW3 Multiplayer.
IFF stands for “Identification Friend or Foe,” a real-life technology that transmits a signal to identify allies.
Modern Warfare 3 takes this concept and injects a dose of deception. By “hijacking” an enemy IFF signal, the Strobe disrupts how automated defenses like turrets and enemy AI target you.
How to unlock Hijacked IFF Strobe and use it effectively
To unlock the Hijacked IFF Strobe and equip it to your loadout, you need to reach level 25 and activate it in the Armory Unlocks.
Then, you need to complete five Armory Unlock challenges, which can be accomplished by finishing daily and bonus challenges.
The Hijacked IFF Strobe in Modern Warfare 3 can be a powerful tool in the right hands, but it requires a specific approach to maximize its effectiveness.
Objective-based modes such as Hardpoint and Domination often involve capturing points heavily guarded by automated turrets. The Strobe lets you take and hold positions with minimal resistance from AI.
If you favor flanking maneuvers, the Strobe can help you bypass enemy AI patrols and reach strategic positions unseen.
To maximize the potential of this perk, pair it with a suppressor to further minimize your detection risk from human players while flanking.
Remember, the Strobe only fools AI. Don’t expect to waltz past enemy players unnoticed.
