This is the best MX9 build in Modern Warfare 3 right now
Looking for the best MX9 loadout in Modern Warfare 3?While the MX9 may not be to everyone’s taste, thisSMGhas a solid rate of fire, mobility and handling stats which make it a smooth experience, optimal for close to mid-range combat.
These stats can be elevated further when paired with the right attachments and equipment, so join us as we explore the best MX9 loadout inCall Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3to get the most out of this SMG.
Why use the MX9 in MW3?
One of the great things about the MX9 is its subsonic ammo which leaves no visible tracers and hides kill skulls from the enemy team. As such, if you’re looking to optimise for a stealth build, the MX9 can be a great addition to your repertoire. Besides this, the MX9 caters mostly to a close to mid-range build, so we’ve chosen attachments to optimise the gun’s damage range, bullet velocity, accuracy, mobility, and handling, making it a powerhouse in close combat but light enough for run-and-gun situations.
Although these attachments make the MX9 experience slightly more sluggish, we’ve added theVLK LZR 7MWlaser andFTAC C11 Risercomb to increase ADS speed and sprint to fire speed, which will help round it out and bring it back up to scratch.
Lastly, we’ve opted for the32 Round Mag, an improvement to the MX9’s standard 25-round, giving you more shots to capitalise on the improved fire rate before having to bunker down and reload. Although it may not sound like a particularly exciting attachment, room for extra bullets can quite literally mean life or death.
FJX Imperium, Longbow.
Thanks to its aptitude with close to mid-range combat, we suggest picking up something long-ranged to complete the build. Some of thebest sniper rifles in Modern Warfare 3currently are theFJX ImperiumandLongbowthanks to their all-around great stats.
The FJX Imperium is a quickscoper’s dream, with one-shot damage potential and smooth handling and mobility stats, which will benefit you as you swap between that and the MX9 for any conflicts closer to home. Similarly, theLongbowhas enjoyed popularity due to its consistent damage, range, ADS, sprint-to-fire and mobility stats.
Overkill Vest, Marksman Gloves, Stalker Boots, Mag Holster, Battle Rage, Frag Grenade.
To make sure you have a long-ranged option in your loadout, consider either theOverkill Vestor Gunner Vest which will allow you to equip a second primary weapon instead of a standard sidearm. Of the twovests, the Overkill has a higher unlock requirement but is well worth the effort, with it you can also get increased weapon swap speed and the ability to reload whilst sprinting.
When deciding betweengloves, we think theMarksman Glovesare a great choice due to the reduced flinch and sway while ADS. This is the best option left for this build, other gloves like the Commando and Quick-Grip cannot be applied to the Overkill Vest as perks do not stack, unfortunately.
We’ve paired these with theStalker Bootsfor increased strafe and ADS movement speed, and theMag Holsterfor improved reload speed. After all, the key to this build is speed.
Lastly, you’ll needLethalandTacticalequipment to round off the loadout. ConsiderBattle Ragefor the extra health regen, resistance to Tactical equipment and Tactical Sprint refresh. All of these boosts are particularly helpful for keeping you alive within close combat. TheFrag Grenadeis always a good choice for an extra high-damage burst to clear out any open or indoor areas and buy yourself some getaway time.
