What is the best Modern Warfare 3 MTZ 556 loadout?

Best Modern Warfare 3 MTZ 556 attachments
The Modern Warfare 3 gunsmith contains all kinds of different attachments capable of transforming any weapon to suit any style of play imaginable. But, after some testing, we've uncovered a set of five that's excellent for multiplayer action:
- Muzzle: HMRES Mod Suppressor
- Barrel: MTZ Drifter Heavy Long Barrel
- Stock: EXF Close Quarters Assault Stock
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
- Ammunition: 5.56 Nato High Grain
With the classic mini-map returning, the first attachment we've selected is the HMRES Mod Suppressor. This keeps your location concealed when firing the MTZ 556 and also provides a boost to bullet velocity, to guarantee damage drop-off doesn't increase the time to kill even further.
Next, the MTZ Drifter Heavy Long Barrel introduces some additional firepower, enabling you to contend with other AR players from afar thanks to the extra damage output and recoil control.
For some additional recoil control, the EXF Close Quarters Assault Stock is the best to select alongside the 5.56 Nato High Grain ammunition which provides even more control for long-range engagements.
Best Modern Warfare 3 MTZ 556 perks and equipment
After equipping the best Modern Warfare 3 MTZ 556 attachments, selecting a strong set of perks and equipment to deal even more damage is the next step. Here's what we recommend.
Perks
- Vest: Infantry
- Gloves: Commando
- Boots: Stalker
- Gear: EOD Padding
- Field Equipment: Trophy System
The Tactical Sprint buff provided by the Infantry vest makes it one of the strongest perks in all of multiplayer. Next, we've gone with Commando gloves for the ability to reload while sprinting.
Stalker boots assist with mobility even further, increasing strafing and aim-down sight speeds while EOD Padding enhances your resistance to any incoming explosives that are likely to land close by during a match.
As for Field Equipment, the Trophy System is the best tool to protect yourself from any incoming grenades when capturing an objective or holding a powerful angle.
Equipment
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Battle Rage
It's hard to go wrong with a Frag Grenade. Throw it at an objective controlled by the opposition or attempt a Hail Mary and chuck it as far as you can to see if it connects with an unsuspecting enemy.
Battle Rage is perfect for keeping you in the action for longer periods thanks to its faster health regeneration rate and constant refreshment of Tactical Sprint, giving you a chance to retreat to safety.
