Modern Warfare 3 has a wide variety of Snipers to choose from, but if you’re looking for the perfect mobility and ADS speed, here’s the best quickscoping loadout to make the most of your Sniper in MW3 Season 1 Reloaded.

Modern Warfare 3 has plenty of weapons players can choose from. Following Season 1 Reloaded’s buffs and nerfs and the introduction of the HRM-9 SMG and TAQ Evolvere LMG, the meta continued to shift.

From Assault Rifles to SMGs, there’s an option that is bound to suit every playstyle. However, one of the fan-favorite features in MW3 is the return of the 16 iconic maps from the original MW2, which has prompted several fans to dust off their Sniper Rifles and quickscope like it’s 2009 again.

Here’s the best quickscoping Sniper loadout to use in MW3 Season 1 Reloaded.

Best MW3 quickscope Snipers ranked

Here is a ranked list of the best quickscope Snipers in Modern Warfare 3:

Longbow
XRK Stalker
KV Inhibitor
KATT-AMR

Excluding Carry Forward weapons from Modern Warfare 2, there are four Sniper Rifles in Modern Warfare 3 at the moment. Before the Season 1 update, the Longbow was the clear favorite of the bunch, but the inclusion of the XRK Stalker has made the competition for the top spot a tight one.

Meanwhile, the KATT-AMR is a fantastic Sniper, but its heavy nature and slow ADS speed make it a nightmare for quickscoping in MW3. The Longbow is the most lightweight Sniper in MW3, while the KV Inhibitor is somewhere in between the two launch Snipers.

Best quickscoping weapon & attachments in MW3

Weapon: Longbow
Underbarrel: XTEN TX-12 Handstop
Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
Stock: Stockless
Barrel: Pro-99 Long Barrel
Rear Grip: Citadel LV Tactical Grip

For the best quickscoping class in Modern Warfare 3, we recommend starting with the Longbow thanks to its impressive range and damage. As for the attachments, we’ve gone for the XTEN TX-12 Handstop and SL Razorhawk Laser Light to drastically buff the ADS speed, allowing you to quickly snap onto enemies.

The Stockless Stock option is also vital, as it significantly improves the sprint-to-fire and general movement speed, ensuring you can rush around the map and land the first shots.

Next up, we have the Pro-99 Long Barrel, which can make the rifle feel heavier, but any downsides it has are mitigated by the other attachments in this loadout. The Pro-99 Long Barrel extends the Longbow’s damage range, which gives you a greater chance of hitting your shots at any distance.

Finally, the Citadel LV Tactical Grip is a great option for a Rear Grip, as it further increases your mobility by increasing your sprint-to-fire speed as well as boosting ADS speed. With this combination of attachments, you’ll be able to fly around each map and quickscope with ease.

Quickscoping is better than ever in Modern Warfare 3.

Best Modern Warfare 3 quickscoping class Perks & Equipment

Vest: Infantry
Gloves: Marksman Gloves
Boots: Stalker Boots
Gear: Bone Conduction Headset
Lethal: Throwing Knife
Tactical: Flash Grenade
Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

When it comes to Perks and Equipment, it’s best to start with the Infantry Vest for quickscoping in MW3, as it buffs Tactical Sprint and makes you more mobile. Then, Marksman Gloves will make it easier to recover due to their flinch resistance as well as control your sniper rifle due to the reduced sway.

Next up is Stalker Boots, which increase your ADS movement speed, as well as strafing speed, making you much tougher to hit. We also recommend the Bone Conduction Headset to hear footsteps better.

The Throwing Knife is back as a piece of Lethal Equipment in MW3, which makes it one of the best options in the game as it grants an instant kill at any range. Also, Flash Grenades are great as Tactical Equipment as they can disorientate enemies while you move in for the kill.

As for Field Upgrade, Dead Silence is great for getting up close to enemies to secure quickscopes easily without the use of Covert Sneakers.
