Players can build the best low-recoil Sidewinder loadout in Modern Warfare 3 using the right set of attachments. The Sidewinder Assault Rifle is quite unpopular in the game, as it has a slow fire rate and high recoil, making the gun difficult to use. Needless to say, the weapon has a pick rate of only 0.77%. But, one of the major strengths of the gun is its high damage output.

It can take out an enemy with just three shots, which for MW3 Multiplayer is pretty good. However, many players are unable to take advantage of its high damage as the weapon is difficult to use.

Hence, in this guide, we will take a look at the best low-recoil Sidewinder loadout in Modern Warfare 3 that will make the Battle Rifle extremely accurate and easy to use, allowing players to take advantage of its high damage output.

Guide to building the best low-recoil Sidewinder loadout in Modern Warfare 3

To build the best low-recoil Sidewinder loadout in Modern Warfare 3, you must equip the following attachments:

Barrel: Tempus Predator Precision Barrel
Muzzle: Casus Brake L
Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
Ammunition: 450 Huntsman High Grain Rounds
Optic: Slate Reflector

Here's how these attachments help lower the recoil on the Sidewinder Battle Rifle in Modern Warfare 3:

The Tempus Predator Precision Barrel is an accuracy enhancer, that reduces the gun's overall recoil, assists with gun kick control, reduces idle sway, and also boosts the bullet velocity. This is one of the main attachments on this list that will help you lower the recoil to almost negligible levels.

The Casus Brake L is a compensator that also improves accuracy. It stabilizes the firing aim and lowers the horizontal recoil, the latter of which is difficult to counter. It also has the bonus effect of reducing visual recoil, allowing you to see your targets in the game.

The Bruen Heavy Support Grip also assists in lowering recoil. It reduces the idle sway while aiming, stabilizes the firing aim, and helps with gun kick control. It also helps with horizontal recoil, which as mentioned earlier, is more difficult to counter as it can be quite unpredictable, and is especially true for the Sidewinder.

The 450 Huntsman High Grain Rounds improve the damage range and bullet velocity. It helps you achieve the 3-shot kills at even longer ranges. Moreover, the improved bullet velocity ensures that you don't have to lead your shots at moving targets in long ranges.

Finally, the Slate Reflector. Although you can pick any optic with this loadout, it is recommended to use the Slate Reflector as it provides a clear and precise of your targets with little to no obstruction. This makes it a perfect fit for the Sidewinder in the game. That said, you can always switch your optical sight depending on your personal preference.

That covers the best low-recoil Sidewinder loadout in Modern Warfare 3. This build is designed for players who prefer to engage in close and mid-range engagements but that doesn't mean it won't fare well in longer ranges.
