- For the items in Call of Duty: Black Ops III, see Collectibles.
Collectables are small gold stars that must either be walked over, shot, or somehow otherwise made available to the player (Such as using an RC-XD or Sniper Rifle) to be picked up. Collectables unlock no extra features of the game (although it unlocks an achievement) and are always hidden. These are Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance's equivalent of Intel. Every level except Clearing Out, Dam Approach, Fire From the Sky and Heavy Metal contains 3 of them.
