Discover the best guns in call of duty modern warfare iii pre-season, including the MCW, MTZ-556, WSP Swarm, Striker, Holger 556, and BAS-B.
In call of duty modern warfare iii, six weapons stand out in the current meta. These are the MCW, MTZ-556, WSP Swarm, Striker, Holger 556, and BAS-B.
MCW
The MCW is unlocked at level 44 and functions as the new M4 and TAQ-style assault rifle. It offers strong damage, one of the best time-to-kill (TTK) rates, and excellent accuracy, making it very user-friendly and the most versatile AR. To obtain the MCW early, find a medium-threat area in Zombies and successfully extract with it.
MTZ-556
The MTZ-556 is another strong assault rifle in the early MW3 meta, primarily due to its good accuracy, though not quite as high as the MCW's. It boasts a high fire rate, allowing for very fast kills at close to medium ranges if you can manage the recoil. This weapon can even surprise SMGs and shotguns if utilized effectively.
Holger 556
The Holger 556 is a contender for the MW3 meta, excelling in longer-distance engagements. While slightly less effective than the MTZ-556 in close quarters and less versatile than the MCW, its key strength lies in its effective range, around 40 meters. This makes it ideal for open maps like Derail, Wasteland, and certain sections of Skidrow, allowing players with good map awareness to exploit angles and areas.
BAS-B
The BAS-B, though not an AR, is a powerful early-game weapon. It is expected to fall out of the meta as more weapons become available and optimized builds emerge. However, it is easy to use. Equipping a silencer, a 30-round magazine, and some recoil control attachments turns it into a formidable medium to long-range option with a good balance of damage, fire rate, and range.
WSP Swarm
In the SMG category, the WSP Swarm and Striker are notable. The WSP Swarm's high fire rate and maneuverability are perfect for the fast-paced gameplay of Modern Warfare 3. It's an excellent choice for aggressive players who like to push objectives, clear rooms, and utilize cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) for advantages.
Striker
For those who prefer SMG gameplay but want more range and damage, the Striker is a better fit. It is likely to remain in the MW3 meta due to its strong range for an SMG and great recoil control. With appropriate damage multipliers, it can defeat ARs at mid-range in 4-5 shots. It's a solid choice for most situations and maps for SMG enthusiasts.
