  • Muzzle: Komodo Heavy 
  • Optic: MK3 Reflector 
  • Stock: Makeev R11 Stock 
  • Rear Grip: Citadel Rear Grip 
  • Ammunition: 5.45 High Grain
  • Magazine: 45-Round Mag
  • Underbarrel: Chewk Angled 

The mentioned setup gives you an edge of uniqueness because the hyperburst feature makes the class a strong potential weapon to explore in the game.

2. DG-58 Class 

The most recent weapon added to Modern Warfare 3’s (MW3) arsenal, the DG-58, is revolutionizing the first-person shooter genre. With its strength and versatility, this powerful assault weapon has quickly become a player favorite. Because of its tremendous damage per shot and short recoil, this AR is a dangerous weapon. The gun also performs exceptionally well in terms of adaptability.

  • Muzzle: Casus Brake 
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Optic: MK3 Reflector/ Corio Enforcer Optic
  • Barrel: DG-56 LS18 Barrel
  • Stock: Extended TP-9 Buttplate

This combination would bring out arguably the best agility and dexterity from the DG-58 class and might help melt your enemy with aggression. 

3. Longbow Class

Picking essentials for a sniper build is always tricky. Longbow was actually a popular trend during Call of Duty: MW3’s beta run for quick scoping and aggressive gameplay. However, players have felt the Longbow is slower in the final release. But still, if you want to run around and quick scope, this thing is going to enrage everyone on the enemy side. It’s a good alternative to shotguns and probably among the best versatile snipers in the Modern Warfare franchise for a while. 

  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser 
  • Underbarrel: Xten Phantom-5 Handstop 
  • Rear Grip: Nought-Z3 Grip 
  • Bolt: SA-M Quickboult 
  • Stock: No Stock (increases aggressiveness) 
  • Muzzle: HMRES Mod Suppressor
  • Barrel: Pro-99 Long Barrel

Evidently, the Longbow class is a huge leap in sniper class that fans had always rooted to experience in Modern Warfare 2.

4. MCW Class

MCW or the ACR has to be another fan-favorite class of FPS gaming enthusiasts. It was a beast in the beta and has kept to its reputation after the release. A ridiculously good TTK with the lowest recoil rate in the CoD franchise in a while makes it hyper-competitive. 

  • Muzzle: Casus Brake 
  • Underbarrel: Chewk Angled Grip
  • Barrel: Second Line Mammoth Heavy Barrel
  • Stock: A90 Venom Stock
  • Sight: Slate Reflector
  • Rear Grip: RB Claw-PSL Grip

The loadout would provide some compelling long-range engagements with phenomenal recoil balance and precision.

5. Bas-B Class

  • Muzzle: SA Leveler 55
