Modern Warfare 3 best Striker loadout
This Striker loadout in Modern Warfare 3 pairs the fast-firing SMG with the Renetti, which can be used in a pinch if you run out of ammo during a fight. Battle Rage is our pick for Tactical Gear, as given the extremely low TTK, any health region benefit is massively useful. Semtex is more of a personal preference here, so feel free to swap out for Frag Grenades if you rather, and make sure to choose the Munitions Box Field upgrade to compensate for how quickly this setup will burn through ammo.
In terms of Perks, go for the Quick-Grip Gloves for faster weapon swapping, the Lightweight Boots for faster movement, and the EOD Padding so that you can tank through explosives and fire. Infantry Vest is the way to go here, as it allows you to improve the refresh time on Tactical Sprint.
Modern Warfare 3 best Striker attachments
- Muzzle: VT-7 SPIRITFIRE SUPPRESSOR
- Barrel: STRIKER RECON LONG BARREL
- Optic: SLATE REFLECTOR
- Rear Grip: SAKIN ZX GRIP
- Magazine: 20 ROUND MAG
As you can see from the attachments chosen, we've tried to increase the Striker's range while also prioritizing Recoil Control and ADS speed. The suppressor is extremely valuable to keep you off of the minimap and only applies a very minor hit to Recoil Control. The 20 Round Mag allows you to speed up the time it takes to go from sprint to firing, though does mean you'll be reloading more. Luckily, it also applies a boost to reload quickness.
So there you have it, that's the best loadout for the Striker SMG in Modern Warfare 3.
