Quickscoping in back Modern Warfare 3.
Picking the best Sniper Rifles for long-range combat in Modern Warfare 3 can be a challenging situation. To make your choice easier, here are the best Snipers in MW3 Season 1, including a ranked list.
Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 is fully underway and despite Season 1 Reloaded being around the corner, players are still leveling up all the weapons to be prepared when the new buffs and nerfs hit the multiplayer.
The game’s Season 1 brought a whole set of new weapons to discover, including powerful Sniper Rifles. Like in other CoD titles, Sniper Rifles can be used in a variety of ways, including up close for quickscoping or for picking off players from long distances.
If you’re looking to dominate long ranges, here are the best Snipers in MW3, as well as a ranking of each one.
Modern Warfare 3 features four new Sniper Rifles, but all seven of MW2’s Sniper Rifles are also available in the game.
Here’s every Modern Warfare 3 Sniper ranked from best to worst:
KATT-AMR
Longbow
XRK Stalker
KV Inhibitor
FJX Imperium
SP-X 80
Victus XMR
Carrack .300
Signal 50
MCPR-300
LA-B 330
Best Modern Warfare 3 Snipers
3. XRK Stalker
Activision
The XRK Stalker arrived with MW3’s Season 1.
Season 1’s XRK Stalker is a standout Sniper Rifle in Modern Warfare 3 thanks to its great damage values. While it’s not the lightest Sniper Rifle around, this gun certainly packs a punch, and players can quickly get multiple shots off.
With the right attachments, you can vastly improve the XRK Stalker boosting the gun’s mobility and damage further.
2. Longbow
Activision
The Longbow has excellent magazine capacity in MW3.
Although the KATT-AMR took its spot on the list, the Longbow‘s whopping standard magazine size of 25 rounds makes the battle for first place quite challenging. This Sniper could easily appear again in the number 1 spot with a small nerf to the KATT damage.
It features a bolt-action mechanic, and despite it looking like a modified Assault Rifle, it certainly feels like the most traditional Sniper of the three top ones. With the right attachments, the Longbow’s speed and mobility can prove itself as a formidable force.
1. KATT-AMR – Best Sniper Rifle in MW3
Activision
The KATT-AMR has quickly taken over the Sniper meta in Modern Warfare 3.
The KATT-AMR has taken over MW3’s multiplayer being regarded as the best Sniper Rifle within the game. Given its incredible damage potential, and despite it isn’t as mobile as its counterparts, it’s been a fan-favorite in Warzone and is just as deadly in MW3.
While this Sniper may not be ideal for quickscoping, its damage range makes it a more than popular pick in the game, with the Longbow being extremely close.
That’s everything you need to know about the best Snipers in Modern Warfare 3 Season 1, including a ranked list of each Sniper available in the game.
