What is the Best Modern Warfare 3 X12 loadout?
At the time of writing this guide, there’s no way to determine what the best loadout is for the X12. This weapon already looks like a pretty well-balanced handgun, so some general improvements to its damage output and mobility can serve as a good baseline for your loadout.
We’ll be spending more game time with the X12 and updating this guide as soon as we have more information.
Best Modern Warfare 3 X12 attachments
With the gunsmith system in Modern Warfare 3, you can use attachments to further modify your weapons. This is great for transforming your favourite firearms into something that can fit into any style of play.

Best Modern Warfare 3 X12 perks and equipment
For even more customization on your X12 loadout, here are some perks and equipment you can try out.
Perks
- Vest: Overkill
- Gloves: Marksman
- Boots: Lightweight
- Gear: Tac Mask
Equipping yourself with the Overkill vest will boost your weapon mobility by increasing your weapon swap speed and allowing you to reload while sprinting. With the Marksman gloves, you’ll have an easier time landing shots as it reduces the sway and flinch while ADS.
The Lightweight boots grant you faster movement and swim speed while also reducing the noise you make while swimming. To help your survivability, the Tac Mask will reduce the effects of enemy flash grenades, stun grenades, shock, EMP, and snapshot grenades.
Equipment
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Flash Grenade
The Frag Grenade is great at providing you with that extra bit of damage to pick up a few more kills here and there. A well-placed throw with this grenade can also cut off enemy escape routes and chokepoints.
Using the Flash Grenade will stun opponents for a brief moment, giving you extra time to line up your shots. It’s also great to use to help you clear corners.
Is the Modern Warfare 3 X12 meta?
Since the X12 looks like it’s already a well-balanced handgun, to begin with, there’s a good chance that it’ll find its way onto any meta. It looks like it can also serve as a solid placeholder until you can find something else that better suits your style.
And that wraps up our guide on the best Modern Warfare 3 X12 loadout. To compare it with other handgun loadouts, take a look at what we have for the COR-45 and the Basilisk.
