Best MTZ-556 loadout for Modern Warfare 3 Season 2
Nathan Warby
In Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 the MTZ-556 is climbing back up the meta thanks to some major buffs. To gain an edge over your opponents, here’s the best MTZ-556 loadout for MW3 with the most suitable attachments, Perks, and Equipment for the weapon.
Modern Warfare 3 received an update on February 21 that buffed the previously underwhelming MTZ-556, making it a must-use option in Season 2. Assault Rifles continue to dominate, and the MTZ-556 is now one of the best weapons in the category.
Here’s the best MTZ-556 loadout for the weapon in Modern Warfare 3.
Best Modern Warfare 3 MTZ-556 loadout attachments
Barrel: MTZ Clinch Pro Barrel
Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor
Optic: MK.3 Reflector
Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
Magazine: 50 Round Drum
We kick off the best MTZ-556 loadout in Modern Warfare 3 with the Shadowstrike Suppressor, keeping you hidden from the minimap. Then the MTZ Clinch Pro Barrel brings bullet velocity and damage range buffs to the table.
This pairs nicely with the Bruen Heavy Support Grip which offers a huge increase in recoil control and stability over long distances. We also recommend the MK.3 Reflector for a more accurate optic.
Finally, the 50 Round Drum will allow you to burn through multiple enemies before having to reload, which could be a lifesaver in a tense gunfight.
The MTZ-556 is one of the first guns you unlock in MW3.
Best Modern Warfare 3 MTZ-556 Perks & Equipment
Vest: Infantry
Gloves: Commando
Boots: Covert Sneakers
Gear: EOD Padding
Lethal: Breacher Drone
Tactical: Battle Rage
Field Equipment: Trophy System
We recommend starting with MW3’s Infantry Vest Perk which brings a buff to Tactical Sprint. Then, the Commando Gloves allow you to reload while sprinting, adding an extra layer of mobility.
When it comes to the Boots, Covert Sneakers mask your footsteps to help you get the drop on enemies. Then, EOD Padding offers extra protection against explosives, which could save your life on smaller maps.
Equipment-wise, the Breacher Drone can secure a quick kill if your aim is on point, and the health regeneration of Battle Rage can bail you out when times get tough.
Finally, it’s important to use a Trophy System on objective-based modes, as they instantly destroy any Grenades that could wipe out you and your squad.
Modern Warfare 3 overhauled the CoD Perk system.

Best MTZ-556 alternatives in Modern Warfare 3
If the MTZ-556 isn’t working for you in Modern Warfare 3, the MCW continues to be one of the best all-around weapons in the game. On the other hand, if you want to dominate at close range, the Striker-9 SMG is arguably the best option after receiving its own Season 2 buff.
