Best loadout for the Striker SMG in Modern Warfare 3

We’ve put together the best Striker class to help you slash through enemy ranks in Modern Warfare 3 and earn the coveted nuke streak in no time.

Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer is currently plagued by MCW users, making the most out of the gun with recoil-less loadouts to lock down maps and slow down the gameplay.

But the Striker SMG, based on the LWRC SMG .45, gives players the potential to cause havoc against Assault Rifle players, battling it out with the MCW for the “best overall gun in the game” top spot.

The Striker is a submachine gun, unlike the close-range limited Rival-9, that can excel in multiple scenarios – close range and mid-range. Make full use of of the Striker SMG’s multi-range capabilities with this lethal loadout.

Modern Warfare 3 Striker SMG loadout

For this loadout we’ve focused on making the Striker excel in nearly every situation, nullifying the need to limit yourself to certain areas or the maps or gunfights, letting you slide-cancel around the map with a chance to win every single gunfight.

Perks (plus Field Equipment)

• Vest: Infantry Vest
• Gloves: Scavenger Gloves
• Boots: Tactical Boots
• Field Equipment: Breacher Drone

Use the Infantry Vest to increase your tac sprint duration, using the extra time for better flanks or diving in to cover. Scavenger Gloves will come in handy after you’ve gone on lengthy sprees, giving you the opportunity to restock your ammo, and then continue to push into the enemy spawn using tactical boots to outmaneuver and destroy enemies in gunfights.

But, in the rare situation where a flanking Rival-9 SMG user manages to get close to you, the Tactical Pads and Quick-Grip gloves give you the maneuverability to quickly switch to your secondary and slide-cancel around them for the kill.

If you somehow can’t find an angle to get to a pesky MCW user, then deploy the Breacher Drone field equipment which will force them to duck behind cover, or at least distract them, and allow you to close the gap and annihilate them in a close-range engagement.

Attachments

• Sight: MK. 23 Reflector
• Stock: Lachmann MK2 Light Stock
• Rear Grip: Tacgrip
• Underbarrel: Chewk Angled Grip
• Barrel: Striker Recon Long Barrel

The MK. 23 Reflector reduces the clutter of the iron sights on your screen, which while usually wouldn’t be an issue on regular SMGs, the Striker can be used as a hybrid gun so being able to pinpoint enemies at long ranges is a necessity.

Both the Lachmann MK2 Light Stock and the Tacgrip increase your movement speed, which is great for traversing the map and strafing in gunfights, while the Chewk Angled Grip and Striker Recon Long Barrel increase stability and bullet velocity to give you a chance to take down long rage Assault Rifle users.

Use this loadout to go on crazy sprees and possibly earn a Nuke in Modern Warfare 3, creating havoc on the map like community favorite SMGs Scump and Shottzy who have been hitting some of the best clips in the game so far.
