The best Striker loadout has been revered as one of the strongest close-range weapon class setups for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). Not only does the gun possess a very fast time to kill (TTK), but the weapon's unbelievable efficacy in close-range combat speaks very well for itself. The weapon is a rendition of the UMP-45 from iconic CoD MW2.

The Season 4 Reloaded patch increased the damage output of the Striker, making it even more popular among the operators. Our article will provide players with the best possible loadout to dominate during the fourth mid-season patch of the MW3.

The Striker has been considered a jack-of-all-trades in the SMG department of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) Not only does it perform extremely well in close-quarter engagements, but it also has minimal damage drop-off even at medium ranges.

In short, the SMG is quite a versatile pick for dominating the battlegrounds of MW3 in Season 4 Reloaded.

Recommended loadout:

  • Barrel: Striker Recon Long Barrel
  • Optic: MK. 23 Reflector
  • Stock: Lachmann MK2 Light Stock
  • Rear Grip: Tac Grip
  • Underbarrel: Chewk Angled Grip

This build focuses on promoting an aggressive approach with the SMG in MW3. For this, both the Lachmann MK2 Light Stock and the Tac Grip promote a faster movement speed, paired with an increased sprint-to-fire speed.

With faster movement speeds, the Striker Recon Long Barrel comes in a clutch to provide the necessary stability the weapon requires. The added range that comes with this attachment is just the cherry on top as it makes this weapon one of the most versatile picks in the game.

Best Secondary for Striker in Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 Reloaded

Being an SMG, the Striker excels in close-to-mid-range gunfights. However, its damage drop-off makes it unsuitable for long-range engagements. As such, this gun can be paired with meta assault rifles like the Holger 556 or SVA 545 to ensure that all the engagement ranges are covered.
