Best Sidewinder loadout Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) Season 2 Reloaded: Attachments, class setup, how to unlock, and more

The Sidewinder Battle Rifle in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) packs a heavy punch. Its effectiveness in medium and long-range gunfights is great and can be perfect for eliminating snipers while maintaining a steady pace to reposition quickly. However, it fails to perform in close-quarter combat against shotguns and Sub Machine Guns (SMGs). The Sidewinder can also be a powerful tool in linear maps that provide an uninterrupted line of sight.

Modern Warfare 3 was released with a massive weapons arsenal as a result of the developers carrying over almost all of the weapons from Modern Warfare 2. This means that seasoned players can continue their grind in the new shooter without suffering from a complete reset.

This article will highlight the best Sidewinder loadout in Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 Reloaded.

The VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor L muzzle increases recoil control, bullet velocity, and damage range while making you undetectable by radar while shooting.

The Tempus Predator Precision barrel increases bullet velocity, recoil control, aiming idle sway, and gun kick control.

The FTAC MSP-98 Handstop increases aim walking speed, vertical recoil control, gun kick control, and movement speed.

The Slate Reflector optic is excellent as it provides a precise sight picture without cluttering the screen.

The RB Borealis rear grip increases firing aim stability, gun kick control, and recoil control.

The CCT Comms Vest increases the duration of an enemy being visible on the radar and provides you with a bigger radar. The Scavenger gloves help you pick up ammo from eliminated enemy operators.

Lightweight boots increase movement speed to compensate for the weapon’s slower maneuverability. The Ghost T/V camo negates UAV detection, radars, and heartbeat sensors. The Bone Conduction Headset amplifies enemy footsteps and gunfire sounds.

Best Secondary for Sidewinder in Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 Reloaded

Being a battle rifle, the Sidewinder gets outperformed by weapons like SMGs and shotguns in close-quarter gunfights. As such, it requires a rapid-firing sidearm like the Renetti to ensure the close-range engagements are handled effectively. This pistol is not only fully automatic, but its superb TTK will also allow you to easily mow down opponents in Modern Warafre 3 Season 2 Reloaded.
