Best Loadouts to Use in Ranked Play
We tested out all unrestricted weapons in Ranked Play and found the best weapons to use to win more. These loadouts are specifically for AR, SMG and Sniper Rifle categories. Let’s dive into an in-depth look at the best loadouts for each category:
Best AR Loadout for Ranked Play – MCW
MCW is the best AR in Modern Warfare 3, and its no surprise that the AR is our pick for Ranked Play. We tested various attachments and found the optimal ones that allow the MCW to excel at long-range gunfights with manageable recoil. However, only downside to this loadout is the magazine runs out fairly fast due to the fire rate.
- Barrel: 16.5″ MCW Cyclone Long Barrel
- Optic: Slate Reflector or Mk. 3 Reflector
- Stock: RB Precision Heavy
- Rear Grip: RB Claw-PSL Grip
- Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
Best SMG Loadout for Ranked Play – Rival 9
The Rival 9 is currently the best SMG in Modern Warfare 3. During our play test with the weapon, we found it performing way better in Ranked Play with the optimal build. If you are prioritizing rushing players or objectives, we recommend picking the Rival 9 loadout.
- Muzzle: Purifier Muzzle Brake S
- Barrel: Rival-C Clearshot Barrel
- Stock: MTZ Marauder Stock
- Rear Grip: Rival Vice Assault Grip
- Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
Best Sniper Rifle Loadout for Ranked Play – KATT AMR
We like Sniping in Call of Duty, more or less. Moreover, in Modern Warfare 3, the hitmaker sounds are so good that they make sniping even more fun. So, naturally, we tested a Sniper Rifle loadout for Ranked Play, and the KATT AMR delivered excellent results.
- Barrel: Perdition 24″ Short
- Bolt: Ephemeral Quickbolt
- Stock: Tactical Stock Pad
- Rear Grip: Phantom Grip
So, hopefully, we have got you covered for every playstyle. If you’re confused about your secondary weapon, we recommend picking the Gutter Knife, Karambit, or any handgun, as it significantly increases mobility stats.
