Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Great Loadouts You Need To Try

Highlights

• Players can enhance the COR-45 pistol by equipping attachments that increase stability and magazine size for fast-paced close-ranged kills.
• The Vaznev-9K SMG can be made effective for long-range encounters with attachments that improve bullet distance and make it harder for enemies to locate the player.
• The Holger 556 Assault Rifle is a good choice for tactical gameplay due to its high damage and range, and attachments can further extend its range while reducing recoil.

While 2023’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 adds a more modern twist to the journey of Task Force 141 in tracking down the infamous Vladimir Makarov, fans of the acclaimed FPS may be wondering what the Modern Warfare 3 reboot sequel could offer in terms of improving the high-octane firefights that Call of Duty is known for. As the remake returns with the maps from 2009’s Modern Warfare on top of PVE Zombies and Warzone 3, fans may be intrigued as to how their setups from previous games would fare in Sledgehammer Games’ newest Call of Duty installment.

For fans who want to get ahead of the competition, they will want to be constantly trying to figure out the right kind of loadouts to use for specific situations and for their playstyle. Here are some great loadouts that players should try out.

10 COR-45

Convert A Pistol Into A Full-Blown SMG

Attachments

When one looks at the stats of the COR-45 as a Modern Warfare 3 Pistol, one might feel the handgun is the best suitable for point-blank kills. In fact, its reduced damage when attached to the XRP IP-V2 Conversion Kit at the prospect of adding range makes it seem risky to carry the COR-45 in a gunfight when there are stronger weapons available. However, the COR-45’s innate stability as a handgun can pave the way for it to become a powerhouse SMG, especially with the right Attachments.

Building upon increased bullets via the 40 Round Drum, the secret to COR-45 dominating close-to-mid-range plays is increasing its overall gun handling via Recoil and Gun Kick Control. When these elements are covered, the COR-45’s increased mag size can pave the way for fast-paced close-ranged kills that won’t leave players vulnerable to a counter-attack.

9 Vaznev-9K

Hit Faster And Harder With A Long-Ranged SMG

Attachments

With the likes of the Haymaker making waves in Modern Warfare 3, an older weapon like the Vaznev-9K from the predecessor Modern Warfare 2 seems like an impractical SMG to use in MW3‘s more modern firefights. However, with the right Attachments, the Vaznev-9K has the potential to outmaneuver its other SMG counterparts, specifically in terms of going toe to toe with bigger ARs in the distance department.

When equipped with its Barrel and 9mm High Grain Rounds, the Vaznev-9K gets much-needed distance for its bullets to hit foes. Combining this with untraceable rounds from the Monolithic Suppressor S and enemies in large battlefields will have a hard time finding the player in an ambush.

8 Holger 556

Trades Recoil For More Range, Perfect For Multi-Distance Attacks

Attachments

With Modern Warfare 3 still challenging players with more careful Tactical Stance kills, they may want to consider using an Assault Rifle like the Holger 556 to get the job done. The heavy-hitting nature of the Holger 556 across most distances trades Recoil for overall damage, incentivizing the usage of tactical plays such as neutralizing grenades in order to score Tac Stance kills in the match.

Thanks to this loadout, Attachments to the Holger 556 should help players capitalize on this Assault Rifle’s decent damage by extending its overall range. While this trades damage and distance with Recoil, players capable of controlling firing spreads and patterns should be able to use the Holger 556 with relative ease.

7 WSP-9

Dominate Range With Recoil Setback

Attachments

Players who want to dominate long-distance fighting but feel vulnerable solely relying on the XRK Stalker should consider using the WSP-9, one of the few SMGs in Modern Warfare 3 capable of supporting players even in long-distance plays with the right setup. Thanks to its Barrel and Underbarrel, the WSP-9 should be able to score hits even at long ranges normally reserved for Assault Rifles.

As with other SMGs, the WSP-9 has considerable Recoil that may take a while to manage for players. However, the right Attachments can significantly reduce difficulty in gun handling, making Recoil seem more manageable. With the right sights, players can tame the WSP-9’s overall aim for easier handling, allowing players to switch from short-range to long-range incursions easily with little to no difficulty.

6 FR 5.56

Maximize Three-Round Burst With Boosted DPS

Attachments

When compared to the likes of the DM56 in terms of Modern Warfare 3 gameplay, the FR 5.56 might seem to struggle as an Assault Rifle due to its three-round burst nature affecting its overall DPS. However, improving this area with the right Attachments can transform the FR 5.56 into a juggernaut on the battlefield, expanding its three-round burst into securing hits much easier.

Much of the Attachments to the FR 5.56 have to do with enhancing its overall Damage Range, Accuracy, and Bullet Velocity, giving it just enough of a DPS boost to release shots much faster than the enemy can keep up with. Despite its effective decrease in terms of overall Speed, the FR 5.56 can make up in terms of decent Recoil and overall gun control.

5 MTZ-762

Transform Heavy-Hitting Battle Rifle Into A Destructive Quick-Firing SMG

Attachments

While the MTZ-762 already boasts decent stats as a heavy-hitting Battle Rifle in Modern Warfare 3, players who want to take their MTZ-762 plays even further may want to consider transforming it into an SMG. Courtesy of the Jak Heretic Carbine Kit, the MTZ-762 trades overall damage and bullet velocity for the impressive handling of an SMG alongside faster firing rate.

When combined with the rest of the MTZ-762’s base control over distance and its faster-firing conversion can be more competent than a standard SMG. Moreover, its Attachments that help maintain better Recoil control can help players secure more tactical plays, especially in engagements across the game’s various maps.

4 BAS-B

Hit Harder And Much Further With Better Control

Attachments

Despite similarities with the Assault Rifle in terms of appearance and overall performance, a Battle Rifle like the BAS-B excels at the hands of gamers who prefer careful plays instead of blazing through firefights. Due to the added firepower of the BAS-B, it’s bound to suffer a bit in terms of overall control and Recoil, making gun handling a priority when boosting its stats via Attachments.

When put all together, the Attachments for this BAS-B build trades speed with better gun control, allowing players to better control the fiercer “oomph” of the Battle Rifle whenever shooting. Doing this correctly should give the BAS-B more manageable Recoil even if shots can feel scattered, allowing players to control their aim more efficiently even if they’re forced to spray fire.

3 WSP Swarm

Transform An SMG To Accommodate All Ranges

Attachments

Despite being a rather middling performer among SMGs stats-wise, the WSP Swarm can become an all-range powerhouse with the right selection of Attachments to enhance its performance. Being an SMG, its incredible performance at close range is set back with harsh recoil, making mid-to-long-range incursions a disadvantage when using basic builds. However, enhancing the WSP Swarm with parts that prioritize Recoil Control and Gun Kick Control can help players capitalize on its immense fire rate to score long-distance kills.

The WSP Swarm can withstand tests of attrition when equipped with the 100-Round Drum, allowing players to stay in firefights for longer with a mag size that transforms the weapon into an LMG. When combined with its already decent handling and mobility, the WSP Swarm can eliminate foes at close range and switch to a long-ranged backup when needed.

2 MCW

Demolish Foes More Efficiently With Added Long-Ranged Performance

Attachments

Praised as one of the most efficient guns in Modern Warfare 3, the MCW is already a beast to contend with in mid-to-long-range plays. However, the Assault Rifle becomes a more efficient combat companion when given the right upgrades, especially towards extending its overall range. Courtesy of the 60-Round Drum, the MCW allows players to demolish enemy teams much faster, especially with the improved Recoil Control.

Despite the Attachments for this MCW build reducing its effective speed, being able to add much-needed handling to the gun can do wonders at the hands of someone with the right timing. The Long Barrel and the NATO High Grain Round’s range extension give the MCW the opportunity to contend with near-sniper ranges, boosting the player’s overall combat effectiveness.

1 RAM-7

Low Recoil Can Help Dominate Multi-Range Gunfights

Attachments

One of the considered powerhouses in the current Modern Warfare 3 meta is the RAM-7 for its incredible gun handling, allowing players to mow down enemies with relative ease provided they capitalize on reducing Recoil as much as possible. In turn, this particular setup for the RAM-7 attempts to upgrade the way the gun is used to help it kill enemies across all ages, trading speed with precision and better distance.

The boost from the 60-Round Drum should help players dominate firefights without losing bullets too quickly. Likewise, speed reduction should help players laser-focus on their targets with ADS, greatly improving accuracy and handling. When used properly, the RAM-7 should feel as though the gun doesn’t have any recoil at all.
