The first new sniper rifle added to MW3 post-launch is an incredibly fun one, and it should make sniper fans feel right at home with its bolt-action cadence and huge damage output capabilities, regardless of how you like to snipe. This is the best loadout for the XRK Stalker in MW3 multiplayer. Best XRK Stalker loadout and class setup in MW3 multiplayer The first new sniper rifle in MW3 is reminiscent of the Ballista from Black Ops 2, but a bit more powerful. It has a maxed-out damage bar when looking at the weapon's statistics in the Gunsmith, which allows for good flexibility to experiment with other attachments. It's become one of the favorites in multiplayer since its release in season one. Best XRK Stalker build in MW3 Barrel: Fission 60 Barrel Laser: Schlager PEQ Box IV Stock: Helix LV Light Stock Rear Grip: Bruen Lynx Grip Bolt: XRK Stalker Light Bolt The XRK Stalker hits incredibly hard, allowing you to dominate from a distance. These attachments will buff the sniper's Range and Accuracy, while also allowing you to aim in quickly with some serious focus on Aim Down Sight Speed as well. The Fission 60 Barrel is a must-have because it provides massive increases to Bullet Velocity and Range, and I really like the Bruen Lynx Grip for its additions to Flinch Resistance and Aiming Idle Sway, both of which are very important when using this as a traditional sniper rifle. Best XRK Stalker quickscoping build in MW3 Barrel: Handler LKP Short Barrel Laser: Schlager PEQ Box IV Stock: No Stock Rear Grip: XRK Stalker Factory Grip Bolt: XRK Stalker Light Bolt Quickscopers, look no further for the best way to use the XRK Stalker for your montage clips. Quickscoping is definitely back in MW3, and the XRK Stalker is a good gun for it, especially with this loadout. The Schlager PEQ Box IV laser sight, No Stock, and XRK Stalker Factory Grip all do wonders in helping with Mobility and Handling. I also love the XRK Stalker Light Bolt for its increase to Rechambering Speed, effectively doubling the bolt-action sniper's fire rate. The Handler LKP Short Barrel is the key attachment here. This barrel will provide a huge boon to Aim Down Sight Speed while negating lots of Bullet Velocity and Range, which you won't really need thanks to the Stalker's huge base damage output.
