Best MW3 Striker loadout and class setup

What is the best MW3 Striker loadout? This lightweight SMG enables you to take advantage of the advanced movement, and with this Modern Warfare 3 Striker loadout, we look to reduce the recoil and extend the range of the gun so you can use it in nearly any combat scenario.

The Modern Warfare 3 release date is finally here, and we’ve already compiled a list of the MW3 maps and MW3 guns now that it’s time to fight. You may be drawn to the harder-hitting guns like the best MW3 MTZ 556 loadout, but don’t overlook these more mobile SMG options as they can rack up kills with ease.

Best Modern Warfare 3 Striker loadout

Here are the best attachments for the MW3 Striker:

• Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
• Barrel: Striker Recon Long Barrel
• Stock: Lachmann Mk2 Light Stock
• Underbarrel: XTEN TX-12 Handstop
• Magazine: 60-Round Drum

Monolithic Suppressor

The aim with these attachments is to keep the mobility of the Striker high, but tighten that recoil and ensure that the gun kick never gets out of control. The Monolithic Suppressor increases recoil control, while also having the benefit of keeping your shots off of the minimap – important if you’re utilizing that mobility to get behind the enemy.

Striker Recon Long Barrel

Attaching the Striker Recon Long Barrel gives the Striker that much-needed extra range, making sure that no enemy is safe, even if they’re outside of an SMG’s usual striking distance.

60-Round Drum

The 60-Round Drum transforms the Striker into an SMG that can easily take on multiple opponents without breaking a sweat. Most SMGs will struggle to take down more than two enemies as you easily run out of bullets in the middle of combat, but the 60-Round Drum ensures you’re always going to have the bullets needed to fight off multiple people.

Best Striker class setup for Modern Warfare 3

Here is the best class setup for the Striker:

• Lethal: Semtex
• Tactical: Flash Grenade
• Field Upgrade: Munitions Box
• Perks: Scavenger Gloves, Lightweight Boots, EOD Padding, Bone Conduction Headset

While using a lightweight SMG like the Striker, you’ll want to be as mobile as possible, putting as much pressure on your enemies as physically possible. The Lightweight Boots will enable faster movement and reduced footstep noise, and the Scavenger Gloves will ensure you stay stocked up without having to break your stride.

EOD Padding ensures that you’ll be able to shake off any defensive throwables the enemy sends your way, and the Bone Conduction Headset will allow you to pinpoint enemy movement just as long as you’re paying attention.
