Best Modern Warfare 3 Snipers
3. Longbow
The Longbow has excellent magazine capacity in MW3.
Despite not being the most lethal Sniper, the Longbow‘s whopping standard magazine size of 25 rounds makes the battle for the best Sniper Rifle place quite challenging. 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.
2. KATT-AMR
The KATT-AMR was formerly considered the ideal Sniper to use in Modern Warfare 3.
The KATT-AMR is a standout Sniper Rifle, and despite being previously regarded as the best one, the Season 1 Reloaded nerfs have pushed it to second place. However, this gun has incredible damage, and while it may not be as mobile as its counterparts, it’s still a deadly pick for MW3.
1. XRK Stalker – Best Sniper Rifle in MW3
The XRK Stalker arrived with MW3’s Season 1 update.
Season 1’s XRK Stalker has obtained the best Sniper Rifle spot in Modern Warfare 3’s Season 1 Reloaded 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.
That’s everything you need to know about the best Snipers in Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 Reloaded, including a ranked list of each Sniper available in the game.
