Highrise is the tenth campaign mission and the fifth Open Combat mission in Modern Warfare 3, and it contains 19 weapon and item locations to find.

You only need to find each weapon or field recon item once in each Open Combat mission in order to use it for your next starting loadout, or to change at loadout changing stations found within Open Combat maps.

To help you perfect your loadouts, we've detailed all Highrise weapon and item locations in Modern Warfare 3 below.

As Highrise is a tricky map to navigate, we've broken this guide down into sections detailing the supply boxes locations found on each floor.

On this page:
