What is the best Modern Warfare 3 FSS Hurricane loadout?

  • Perks: Demolition / Scavenger / Running Sneakers / Mag Holster
  • Grenades: Semtex / Flash

Best Modern Warfare 3 FSS Hurricane attachments

The gunsmith contains all kinds of different attachments that are capable of transforming the FSS Hurricane into an SMG that can make an impact on the battlefield. Here's a set of five that can contend with the very best:

  • Barrel: FSS Cannonade 16"
  • Optic: Slate Reflector
  • Stock: Demo Fade Pro Stock
  • Underbarrel: Chewk Angled Grip
  • Rear Grip: XTEN Grip

The FSS Hurricane excels in mid-range combat and in order to enhance performance even further, the FSS Cannonade 16" barrel minimises any kind of drop-off at longer distances.

To keep recoil under control, the pairing of the Demo Fade Pro Stock and Chewk Angled Grip stop any kind of unwanted kick from ruining your view of the intended target.

For fast reaction times, the XTEN Grip comes into its own, reducing sprint-to-fire and aim-down sight speeds giving you the ability to snap onto anyone in your crosshairs.

Best Modern Warfare 3 FSS Hurricane perks and equipment

Here are the best perks and equipment to complete your Modern Warfare 3 Cronen Squall loadout:

Perks

  • Vest: Demolition
  • Gloves: Scavenger
  • Boots: Running Sneakers
  • Gear: Mag Holster

The Demolition vest is the perfect partner for the FSS Hurricane as you'll regain your lethal and tactical equipment every 25 seconds, allowing you to easily check corners or hunker down when you need to. Keeping yourself stocked up is important, so pair this with the Scavenger gloves, with which you'll regain some by passing over fallen foes, virtually ridding yourself of that worry.

The Running sneakers pair well with the Vest choice above, affording not only increased sprint duration and reduced refresh time but the additional movement speed on ground and in water offered by the Lightweight boots. If you're looking for another way to increase the break between kills (and elongate the gap between your own death) the Mag Holster gear option improves reload speed in a way that will reduce the risk of a poorly-timed magazine swap.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Flash Grenade

With frequent reloads a necessity with the FSS Hurricane, you can avoid the anxiety of another encounter with a triggered Semtex over a wall. Additionally, because of the need to stay in close-quarters situations with the FSS Hurricane, you'll never not want to Flashbang through the door. It can help you mop up an impressive triple kill on a single mag.

Is the Modern Warfare 3 FSS Hurricane meta?

Until the first few balance patches have come and gone, it would be irresponsible to say whether or not the FSS Hurricane is meta in Modern Warfare 3.

Once we've tested the weapon in the base release and seen how it compares after the first few patches, we'll have an answer for you here. Check back then. Vitals like recoil, reload speed, magazine size, and its all-important rate of fire need to be taken into account. For historical context, check out the MW2 FSS Hurricane or the Warzone FSS Hurricane loadout instead.
