Why use the SA-B 50 in MW3?
Although it certainly isn’t thebest marksman rifle in Modern Warfare 3, the SA-B 50 has some solid damage output and great all-around stats, which can be further elevated with the right attachments. This will make the gun perform better and achieve one-shot kills to make up for its relatively low rate of fire.
For the SA-B 50, we’ve gone for the ‘less is more’ approach and chosen mods that will adjust similar stats. TheXRK Specter Mod,Schlager Match Grip,FSS OLE-V Laser, andFSS ST87 Boltare all attachments made to improve ADS speed. When equipped, the general mobility and handling of the SA-B 50 will improve, optimising your build for the fast-paced combat of Modern Warfare 3 and allowing you to zoom in and snap to heads at a breakneck pace.
For the final attachment, we’ve forgone the lacklustre ironsights of the SA-B 50 and chosen theFTAC Charlie7optic. It’s a 7.5x scope, perfect for quickly setting your aim on an enemy’s head before pulling the trigger. Note that any compatible optic will do the job though, if you have a different preference.
Striker.
As the SA-B 50 is a ranged weapon with a somewhat limited rate of fire, we think a snappy SMG or something similarly catered for close combat will be a great addition to your loadout. Consider theStriker, currently one of thebest SMGs in Modern Warfare 3and capable of fantastic damage and range with a high mobility that lends itself well to run-and-gun combat styles.
Overkill Vest, Stalker Boots, Marksman Gloves, Threat Identification System, Stun Grenade, Semtex.
To get the most out of an SA-B 50, we think it’s worthwhile carrying an SMG or Shotgun for close-range encounters, to cover all bases. This means you’ll need either theOverkill Vestor GunnerVest. We’ve chosen the Overkill as although it has higher unlock requirements, it also provides the Fast Hands perk and allows you to reload while sprinting, which is well worth the graft of unlocking to get. Additionally, when choosingGloves, you’ll notice you already have the perks from the Quick-Grip and Commando Gloves. With this in mind, we suggest picking theMarksman Glovesfor the reduction of flinch and sway while ADS.
As this build prioritises speed and improving ADS, we’ve opted for theStalker Bootswhich give a nice little boost to strafe and ADS movement speed. Additionally, while ADS you can use theThreat Identification Systemto ping enemy locations and provide valuable intel to teammates.
For yourTacticalandLethalequipment options, consider picking theSemtex, which is essentially a powerful sticky grenade that can be utilised for high impact damage and theStun Grenadewhich is a useful tool to slow enemies down, ready either for a follow-up attack or for you to retreat to safety.
