The best Kar98k loadout and class setup in MW3

Find the best loadout for Kar98k in MW3.

The Kar98k is available again in Call of Duty after Modern Warfare 3 season four went live, and it’s been racking up the kills in the killfeed ever since.

The iconic Kar98k, one of the most popular snipers, can be unlocked through MW3’s season four battle pass. As veteran CoD players would expect, this version of the Kar98k feels incredible because of its ADS speed, letting you run around the maps in multiplayer and quickscope your opponents.

Here’s the best loadout for Kar98k in MW3 multiplayer.

The Kar98k is available as a Marksman Rifle in MW3, capable of one-shot kills if you hit the upper torso of your opponents in the multiplayer. The weapon boasts a swift ADS, so we leaned toward improving its handling and accuracy, allowing you to hit your quickscopes comfortably.

Best Kar98k build in MW3

  • Barrel: Bryson Carbine-S Barrel
  • Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
  • Optic: Range Caller V3.4 Optic
  • Stock: No Stock
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop

We kick off the best Kar98k build in MW3 with the Bryson Carbine-S Barrel, which buffs your Aim Walking Speed, Hipfire and Tac Stance Spread, and ADS speed. The SL Razorhawk Laser Light further improves the rifle’s handling, especially when firing after a sprint, and lowers the ADS time.

While you can use the Kar98k without an Optic, we recommend running the Range Caller V3.4, which significantly increases the range without huge downsides. The No Stock is a must if you want to be quick on your feet and constantly reposition. Finally, the DR-6 Handstop buffs your mobility and adds little to the ADS speed as well.

Best Kar98k class in MW3

  • Vest: Infantry Vest
  • Secondary: Renetti
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Munitions Box
  • Glove: Commando Gloves
  • Boots: All-Terrain Boots
  • Gear: Ghost T/V Camo

This is my favorite setup for running and gunning with a marksman or sniper in multiplayer, because it allows for quick movements and quicker escapes. The Commando Gloves’ ability to allow for reload while sprinting and improving sprint to fire makes it a must-use for a class like this.

I also love Ghost T/V Camo to keep me off of the enemy radar and allow for flanks for even easier one-shot kills on foes who don’t see me coming. A quick Stun Grenade will make that job even simpler to rack up the kills and fill up the sky with killstreaks.

Use this Kar98k loadout in MW3 multiplayer for some easy kills and hot clips to post on your social media timelines.
