Looking for the best Vel 46 loadout in Modern Warfare 3?The Vel 46 is a solidSMGwith many excellent features, making it a reliable choice inCall Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
With the only main drawback being its heavy weight and slower handling speeds, when equipping the right attachments, you can make the Vel 46 a nifty all-rounder weapon. Join us as we explore the best Vel 46 loadout in Modern Warfare 3.
Why use the Vel 46 in MW3?
Although the Vel 46 may seem a little clunky compared to other SMGs in Modern Warfare 3, with the right loadout it can pack a serious punch. As such, we’ve focused on attachments to enhance the gun’s ADS speed and sprint-to-fire rate, whilst crucially maintaining the highest possible damage output. With this build, you’ll be able to mow down opponents with just a few correctly timed shots.
The best attachments to improve sprint-to-fire speed and ADS are theLM Series-7barrel, theVEL A-568 Collapsedstock, and theSchlager Soldier Grip. Along with these features, The LM Series-7 also increases recoil control, which can be pushed further using theSA Schalldampfer 99. Additionally, the Schalldampfer makes your shots quieter which is always a nice extra in any loadout.
The final key attachment in this VEL 46 loadout is the50 Round Mag, which significantly increases the ammo capacity of the VEL 46 so that you don’t need to reload between kills or slow down within the heat of combat. With 50 rounds, you should find that you can drop a group of enemies with ease without needing to worry about falling back to reload.
FJX Imperium.
As an SMG built for close encounters, we recommend opting for something longer ranged like one of thebest sniper rifles in Modern Warfare 3, theFJX Imperium. The FJX Imperium is ideal if you want an accurate rifle capable of one-shot kills but don’t wish to lose speed at the same time. As a quickscope sniper, the FJX Imperium has equally fantastic mobility and damage.
Overkill Vest, Marksman Gloves, Bone Conduction Headset, Stalker Boots, Battle Rage, Frag Grenade.
For the Vel 46, being able to carry two primary weapons and switch between both short and long-range combat will be infinitely useful. As such, we recommend theOverkill Vestwhich will essentially give you the Fast Hands and Overkill perks fromCall Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Although the GunnerVestalso allows two primary weapons, the Overkill Vest enhances weapon swap speed and allows players to reload whilst sprinting, which will go a long way into improving the otherwise clunky nature of the Vel 46.
Additionally, theMarksman Gloveswill help balance the gun out further as they reduce sway and flinch while ADS. Forboots, we recommend pairing this loadout with theStalker Bootsfor the increased strafe and ADS movement speed, doubling down the quick mobility of the build.
ForGear, we also recommend theBone Conduction Headsetwhich essentially makes it easier to identify enemy footsteps and bullet shots. As you’ll be in and out of close combat, a perk like this can really help you get the drop on enemies and win a fast kill before you’re detected.
Finally, for yourTacticalandLethaloptions, consider using theBattle Rageperk for an adrenaline boost and an extra bit of health regeneration, vital for close combat gameplay. Additionally, we recommend using aFrag Grenadefor a no-fuss, simple quickfire option best used in tight situations where you need to establish some breathing room and get yourself into a more tactical position.
