The MCW in Modern Warfare 3 is an assault rifle with a medium-range capability that can penetrate and inflict massive amounts of damage on your enemies. As you level up, you'll unlock various variants and additional attachments that enhance its performance.

Best loadouts for MCW 6.8 in Modern Warfare 3

There are tons of attachments you can choose from in MW3 beta (Image via Infinity Ward)

The best attachments for the MCW 6.8 are the ones that increase Aim Down Sight speed and Spirint to Fire speed. You can first go with the Orchestra-40 Short Heavy Barrel or the RB Solarflare 35 Grip. What’s great about these attachments is that they offer more advantages for your character during open fire. You can shoot and run easily, especially when you need to get at least mid-range.

Moreover, since the MCW 6.8 doesn't have a great ammo capacity, it is highly recommended to attach the 30-round Mag. It helps a lot in not having to frag during reloads. If you want more speed and accuracy, you can try the KR V4 1X Riser.

Selecting the right gear is essential to complement your weapon in Modern Warfare 3. For the MCW 6.8, consider equipping the Gunner Vest. This vest allows you to carry an additional weapon, providing you with a backup option in case you find yourself in a heated firefight.

You have the freedom to choose any secondary weapon that suits your playstyle. You can enhance your weapon-swapping speed by equipping Quick-Grip Gloves.

As for your tactical and lethal equipment slots, it's recommended to have a Flash grenade and a Frag grenade on hand. The Trophy System can also be a lifesaver, helping to deflect enemy grenades aimed at you. While some may suggest using the Comm Scrambler to disrupt your enemies' capabilities, we strongly advise sticking with the Trophy System for added protection.
