Modern Warfare 3 has several Battle Rifles options designed to excel at long distances. Here’s a list of all the MW3 Season 1 Reloaded Battle Rifles, ranked from the best to the worst, including a countdown of the top five picks.

MW3 Season 1 Reloaded is in full swing offering players plenty of content for fans. The game’s mid-season update brought a brand-new 6v6 map, audio improvements, as well as massive weapons buffs and nerfs that shifted the meta.

While there are over a hundred weapons to choose from in Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer, Battle Rifles remain perfect for laying waste to opponents at medium to long ranges. They can be a great alternative to the ever-popular Assault Rifles and pack higher damage across ranges but with a slightly lower mag capacity.

So, if you’re looking to run Battle Rifles during your matches in MW3, here are the best ones to equip.

Best MW3 Battle Rifles

5. Sidewinder

The Sidewinder was the most hated weapon in the game before its AMP release.

Despite its bad reputation earned by its terrible statistics, the Sidewinder regained its popularity due to the Season 1 JAK Thunder LMG Kit Aftermarket Part, which transforms it into an LMG with greater ammunition capacity and a progressive increase in its firing rate.

When equipped with its best loadout, the Sidewinder’s recoil, ADS speed, and mobility can be improved significantly, allowing you to down your far-off enemies with precision.

4. Cronen Squall

Cronen Squall comes with an easy-to-control recoil.

Veteran players will recognize the Cronen Squall due to its dominance in Warzone, luckily (for some) the weapon is still powerful in MW3 multiplayer, due to its low recoil and impressive high damage.

Whether short or long distances, this Battle Rifle easily dominates enemies. Additionally, you can vastly improve its superiority by using the right selection of attachments, granting better fire rate, damage, and even less recoil.

3. FTAC Recon

FTAC Recon’s damage range can be improved with the right attachments.

The FTAC Recon is a powerful BR that’s capable of dealing lethal damage in medium ranges. Despite being a Battle Rifle, the FTAC Recon provides decent mobility but has a smaller mag capacity, not ideal for prolonged gunfights.
