No Call of Duty game is complete without at least one sniper that is perfect for quick scoping, and Modern Warfare 3 is no different. Here’s the bestquick-scope-sniper loadout in MW3.
Best Quickscope Build and Attachments in Modern Warfare 3
Four of the attachments on this buildare meant for ADS speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and overall mobility. The goal is to scope in as fast as possible and the Longbow has no equal in how fast you can aim down sights in the sniper rifle category. On other loadouts for the Longbow, I wouldn’t usually use a laser because the ADS speed is so high already. But in a quickscope build, the visible aspect won’t matter, and it means more speed for us.
The SA-M Quickbolt is the only part of the attachment list that isn’t meant for ADS speed. Instead,it offers a faster fire rate. If you plan on getting kill chains at the speed of light, then the faster fire rate is almost mandatory. On the off chance that you think the weapon is better without it, you can add a mobility rear grip attachment instead.
How to Unlock the Longbow
You can unlock the Longbow through several means:
This is one of the most overpowered weapons in the game, so unlocking it quickly is essential.
How to Unlock the XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop
you may get this attachmentby leveling up in MW3 Zombies.You can also unlock the XTEN from Armory Unlock challenges. These become available once you hit level 25.
How to Unlock the FSS OLE-V Laser
You’ll need to first own theEBR-14 Marksman Rifle. You’ll also need to use this gun for a couple of hours in multiplayer mode until the gun hits level 10. This will unlock the OLE-V laser attachment for all other guns.
How to Unlock SA-M Quickbolt in MW3
You can unlock theSA-M Quickboltattachment by getting theLongbow to level 18. You can also get to Account Level 25, then successfully complete the appropriate Armory Unlock challenges for the attachment as well.
Best Alternative Quickscope Sniper Loadout:
This sniper is from last year’s MW2 and isone of the fastest sniper options in the game. So, if you want something like the Longbow with more damage, try this out. In Season 1, we’ll have the XRK Stalker, which will likely be the best quickscope option for MW3, and I’ll add a loadout for that rifle as soon as possible.
How to Unlock the SP-X 80 in MW3
You can unlock theSP-X 80by hitting level 17 and leveling the SP-R 208 to level 5. You can also get the gun by chance in the DMZ, then evacuating with it on your person. To get the SP-X 80’s 6.6x attachment, you need to get to level 25, then do the necessary Armory Unlock challenges.
Best Quickscope Sniper Perks and Equipment in MW3
Perks are the only important part of this setup, and you just want to make sure you can move around undetected. After you start firing, they’ll know you’re attacking,but the quickscope loadouts should tear through them before they can react.
