The basic go-to class setup in MW3<\/em> multiplayer for any kind of SMG works well here. The Infantry Vest<\/strong> is the catch-all for great classes without going too weird since it allows you to use all pieces of available gear and perks<\/a>.<\/p>

I’ve always been more of an AR player, but the Striker holds its own even in my hands when it comes to the submachine gun class<\/strong> in MW3<\/em>. It’s one of the best choices in the early months of the game, so make sure to level it up and use the Gunsmith to help it reach its maximum potential.<\/p>

Upon MW3’s<\/em> launch, it felt underpowered but got a big buff in November 2023 to help bring it back to its former glory. It’s not quite as dominant as it once was, but it’s still very good. <\/p>

We think you can’t really go wrong with this build if you’re looking for a strong SMG to run and gun with in MW3.<\/em><\/p> <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This is the best Striker loadout in MW3. Best Striker loadout and class setup in MW3 Best Striker build in MW3 multiplayer Barrel: Striker Recon Long Barrel Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop Ammunition: .45 Auto High Grain Rounds Rear Grip: SAKIN ZX Grip Stock: Lachmann MK2 Light Stock This loadout does its best to help shore up the Striker's weaknesses by adding damage range, recoil control, and accuracy. It's a solid overall loadout for the SMG that will keep you in most fights. The Striker, or UMP 45, is\u00a0reliable at close range\u00a0and will give you a fighting chance at medium range, too. Don't bother trying to take on an AR player at long range, but if you're playing the SMG like an SMG player should, you'll find yourself in situations that benefit the playstyle. When it comes to flying around the map, slaying enemies, and playing the objective,\u00a0one of the best SMG options in\u00a0MW3\u00a0so far is the Striker. That may change over time, but for now, pro players and amateurs alike are having a ton of fun with this gun, and so am I. Related: Rank up your home and wardrobe with this exclusive MW3 merch Best Striker class in MW3 multiplayer Vest: Infantry Vest Handgun: Renetti Tactical: Flash Grenade Lethal: Semtex Field Equipment: Trophy System Gloves: Marksman Gloves Boots: Lightweight Boots or Covert Sneakers Gear: Tac Mask The basic go-to class setup in MW3 multiplayer for any kind of SMG works well here. The Infantry Vest is the catch-all for great classes without going too weird since it allows you to use all pieces of available gear and perks. Marksman Gloves, Lightweight Boots, and Tac Mask will all help you stay on the move while dodging gunfire and tactical grenades, and this is very important when playing the role of an objective player or slayer in CoD. I've always been more of an AR player, but the Striker holds its own even in my hands when it comes to the submachine gun class in MW3. It's one of the best choices in the early months of the game, so make sure to level it up and use the Gunsmith to help it reach its maximum potential. Upon MW3's launch, it felt underpowered but got a big buff in November 2023 to help bring it back to its former glory. It's not quite as dominant as it once was, but it's still very good. We think you can't really go wrong with this build if you're looking for a strong SMG to run and gun with in MW3.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/codstriker1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987486"}],"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=987486"}],"version-history":[{"count":37,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1188568,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987486\/revisions\/1188568"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/987489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=987486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=987486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=987486"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=987486"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=987486"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=987486"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=987486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
