Best <\/em>MCW build for MW3<\/em> Ranked<\/h3>
  • Barrel: <\/strong>16.5″ MCW Cyclone Long Barrel<\/li>
  • Optic:<\/strong> MK. 3 Reflector or Slate Reflector<\/li>
  • Underbarrel:<\/strong> XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop<\/li>
  • Ammunition: <\/strong>5.56 NATO High Grain Rounds<\/li>
  • Rear Grip:<\/strong> RB Claw-PSL Grip<\/li> <\/ul>

    This build is perfect for the MCW. While CDL players have a “gentleman’s agreement” to not use Ammunition attachments, you’re free to run wild in Ranked Play with the 5.56 NATO High Grain Rounds that buff Bullet Velocity and Damage Range<\/strong>\u2014two things that are very important when using an AR.<\/p>

    Feel free to mount up on a wall or a head glitch, but make sure you have good awareness of spawn points and protect your SMG players and teammates from enemies as they arrive back on the map.<\/p>

    Best pistol for MCW class for MW3<\/em> Ranked<\/h3>
    \"Renetti
    It’s always faster than reloading. Screenshot by Dot Esports<\/figcaption><\/figure>
    • Muzzle:<\/strong> DZS Open Comp<\/li>
    • Barrel: <\/strong>MK2 Renetti Long Barrel<\/li>
    • Optic:<\/strong> Cronen Mini Pro<\/li>
    • Ammunition: <\/strong>9mm High Grain Rounds<\/li>
    • Rear Grip:<\/strong> EXF Eclipsor Grip<\/li> <\/ul>

      The Renetti is perfect as a secondary weapon in MW3 <\/em>Ranked Play. This build is great for fighting mid-range engagements on a weakened enemy after your MCW runs out of ammo, but it also has a quick reload to stay in the fight as well.<\/p>

      The best setup for you. Screenshot by Dot Esports<\/figcaption><\/figure>
      • Tactical: <\/strong>Stun Grenade<\/li>
      • Lethal: <\/strong>Frag Grenade or Semtex<\/li>
      • Field Upgrade: <\/strong>Trophy System<\/li>
      • Gloves:<\/strong> Quick-Grip Gloves<\/li>
      • Boots:<\/strong> Covert Sneakers<\/li>
      • Gear:<\/strong> EOD Padding<\/li> <\/ul>

        Get used to running with these seven items, because there’s a limited pool of perks and equipment that can be used in Ranked Play thanks to the mode using the CDL’s ruleset. Many items have been banned, and these are the best of the best of what’s available to use in Ranked.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Get ready to rank up. AR players are key in any Call of Duty Ranked Play squad. Holding an assault rifle means holding down the map's spawns and objectives to let your teammates run wild, picking up kills and capturing the Hardpoint or Control hill. This is the best MCW build and class setup for MW3's Ranked Play mode. Best AR for MW3 Ranked Play The best AR for MW3 Ranked Play is the MCW. Since the Holger 556 is banned in the CDL, it's also banned in Ranked Play. This leaves the MCW as the top remaining champion when it comes to assault rifles in MW3's Ranked Play competitive ladder mode. Best MCW build for MW3 Ranked Barrel: 16.5\" MCW Cyclone Long Barrel Optic: MK. 3 Reflector or Slate Reflector Underbarrel: XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop Ammunition: 5.56 NATO High Grain Rounds Rear Grip: RB Claw-PSL Grip This build is perfect for the MCW. While CDL players have a \"gentleman's agreement\" to not use Ammunition attachments, you're free to run wild in Ranked Play with the 5.56 NATO High Grain Rounds that buff Bullet Velocity and Damage Range\u2014two things that are very important when using an AR. Feel free to mount up on a wall or a head glitch, but make sure you have good awareness of spawn points and protect your SMG players and teammates from enemies as they arrive back on the map. Best pistol for MCW class for MW3 Ranked Muzzle: DZS Open Comp Barrel: MK2 Renetti Long Barrel Optic: Cronen Mini Pro Ammunition: 9mm High Grain Rounds Rear Grip: EXF Eclipsor Grip The Renetti is perfect as a secondary weapon in MW3 Ranked Play. This build is great for fighting mid-range engagements on a weakened enemy after your MCW runs out of ammo, but it also has a quick reload to stay in the fight as well. Best MCW class setup for MW3 Ranked Tactical: Stun Grenade Lethal: Frag Grenade or Semtex Field Upgrade: Trophy System Gloves: Quick-Grip Gloves Boots: Covert Sneakers Gear: EOD Padding Get used to running with these seven items, because there's a limited pool of perks and equipment that can be used in Ranked Play thanks to the mode using the CDL's ruleset. Many items have been banned, and these are the best of the best of what's available to use in Ranked.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_1033.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1095179"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/918"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1095179"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1095179\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1108381,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1095179\/revisions\/1108381"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1095185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1095179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1095179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1095179"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1095179"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1095179"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1095179"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1095179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
