The MODERN WARFARE 3 META! (Every Weapon Ranked)

SVA-545 And rival 9 I'm really enjoying goes well with my gameplay style really enjoying mw3 having fun kind of surprises me 😂

[@WhosImmortal]

@@benjaminlu3273 I will for warzone. I have no interest in mw2 guns in mp unless theyre crazy broken

[@A_C_Green88]

FR556, Bruen, Holger AR, KVD Enforcer, and surprisingly the Riveter have all found consistent rotation

[@Alex-huh20]

Idk if anyone notices this but for the training dummies in the practice range, they copy and pasted the damage health from mw2, so with no armor it’s 100 health, change it to 1 armor to make it 150 health to make it in line with Mw3 base health, and to see accurately how many shots you need to hit

[@WhosImmortal]

devs are aware, itll be fixed soon

[@loki76]

I definitely noticed this. What a blunder on their part. Because I can 3 tap with Holger 556 in the range when damage profile is 4. The broodmother drops the dummies in 2 shots. That would be super powerful if it was true in the real game.

[@Alex-huh20]

[@tnsxpm]

[@konainabbas7233]

Is it fixed yet

[@Kodane]

Swarm is by far my favorite gun to use. I feel unstoppable with it. I’ve learned the recoil pattern so well I can get hella long shots easy with it. Up close it fries and you move so fast. Love it !

[@vipershade1]

What recoil pattern? There’s legit no recoil in most guns. With attachments it’s perfectly still

[@Kodane]

@@vipershade1 let’s be honest. There is inherently some kind of recoil whether it’s barely any shooting shots that you would with an AR it takes a little training of the long range pattern.

[@Kodane]

@@vipershade1 but no it doesn’t have much at all. Regardless, hands down my favorite

[@loki76]

Part of the reason I think Rifles do better than SMG even in Core maps is because these are old school MW3 maps. They are way bigger and many long sight lines. Sure some are smaller and you do well with SMG. But several maps that even look smaller have longer sight lines so the damage range drop off happens more often and then you move into AR benefit.

[@staminin4460]

They are mw2 maps. If Activision was so stupid they would just have different names, but that wouldn’t sell like nostalgia does.

[@kasper_429]

4:00 I just unlocked the MCW/ACR yesterday, but I played a few games with it and already have it almost max level. I used your setup from your video on it, and it's a literal laser beam. No recoil at all. Insane. It feels so good to have the ACR back in Call of Duty.

[@pikabear520]

Good job broski 💨

[@harisjaved1379]

Bro, the best weapons in the game are KV Inhibitor and BAS-B. That’s it. You can literally go 2/3 KD in any games with this combo. The Inhibitor will drop people quicker than you can blink, and it will out gun people with BAS-B. For the KV Inhibitor you need the right loadout that gives you 1500ms projectile velocity. MTZ interceptor is also amazing with the right setup. The SMGs have taken a big drop. They are nowhere as competitive as they used to be in MW2.

You should include the mw2 weapons in this list. I'm interested to see how mw2 weapons compare to the mw3 weapons in the overall meta.

[@WhosImmortal]

I will for warzone. Adding 75+ guns to a day 1 list ruins it from the start with clutter. for the most part they compete just fine but MW3 are more rewarding

[@xotryce7980]

You should’ve mentioned the MTZ-762 conversion kit. If you hit your shots even with it’s somewhat unforgiving recoil, you have an AR fire rate Marksman rifle in my opinion

[@kasper_429]

5:30 One thing I noticed with this revolver is that they didn't give us a speed loader attachment for it. The reload time is ABYSMALLY slow. It's insane. If you don't kill someone with the 6 shots that you have, you're screwed. I wish they would update it and give it a speed loader, or just make the reload time a little quicker.

There's always Mag Holster

[@teddy-jameslambert1514]

People are sleeping on the Holger 26, you can kit it out to handle like an AR, it has no recoil and you have a stock 60 rounder which you can't get on the 556 at all. I think it will dominate Warzone.

[@chuckddon3536]

It shreds😁

[@robinak2776]

Just got Gold on it, definitivt a underdog

[@pedromegacool]

My thoughts! The MTZ-762 was the first gun I got max levelled, and the 7.62x39 aftermarket conversion I'm loving! Very disappointed in the sidewinder honestly. Trying to level up the TYR, because it's an awesome gun IRL. Loved the renneti during the beta! I'm loving the PKP lmg, absolutely amazing. I really hope we get an aftermarket conversion for the riveter, 12 gauge with a smaller magazine perhaps. I can't decide between the haymaker or the KV broadside, been wondering. Also as an extra side note, they added some new bullet types for some of the MW2 weapons, like the basilik, they added a bullet type (hardened rounds) that hide enemy skulls. Cheers!

[@Porchungi]

The MCW, Bas-B ,and WSP-9 are probably my favorite ones right now

[@TactiMerc]

We really need a faster sniper or two of them. Or something like the kar98k or Swiss. Damn those were the best days back in MW19 and Cold War.

[@jasonb252]

I don't know if I can trust the firing range dummy damage in this game. With the Holger 556 and single tap I can down the first 2 dummies with just 3 shots to the chest. The gun has a damage profile of 4 shots. I tried the conversion kit of the WSP-9 (Uzi) the "Broodmother". It downs the dummies in 2 shots. No kidding. It's slow ROF and only 22 rounds but in firing range it hits like a truck. I have used the Holger in game, and I haven't tried to test if it downs people in 3 hits at closer range, well because enemy players usually don't stand still and let you kill them to try and see ha ha. The broodmother I haven't played with yet.
