Best Striker 9 loadout for Warzone and MW3 Ranked Play

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone have a plethora of submachine gun options for players to choose from. But with recent changes to modes like Ranked Play and nerfs for weapons like the Rival-9, it is worth looking into SMG alternatives. The best Striker 9 loadout for both Warzone and MW3 Ranked Play is one such worthy solution.

Best Striker 9 loadout for Warzone

Warzone features massive maps and constant battles to the death with pretty much one life per game (excluding stuff like redeploys). As such, how you use an SMG like the Striker 9 is quite different in the battle royale game modes. The goal here with the best Striker 9 Warzone loadout is to emphasize its incredible accuracy and long-range capabilities.

• Barrel: Striker Elite Long
• Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor S
• Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
• Ammo: 9mm High Grain Rounds
• Magazine: 50 Round Drum

What this particular loadout does is turn the Striker 9 into a neat hybrid between an SMG and an assault rifle. In some cases, it even feels like a mini-LMG with the massive 50-round magazine. The Striker Elite Long gives this weapon some of the best range for any SMG in its class. While it may be a bit slower than its fellow SMGs, it makes up for that in its tight aim and impressive damage with the 9mm High Grain Rounds.

Best Striker 9 loadout for MW3 Ranked Play

On the other hand, Ranked Play and general multiplayer modes in MW3 are a bit different than battle royale. These take place on smaller, narrower maps than in Warzone, such as Rio and 6 Star. These locales are playgrounds for SMGs to dominate in close quarters and blast away at foes with ease. The Striker 9 is solid in Ranked Play and other multiplayer modes, but a little slower than some of them.

To maximize its potential, here is the best Striker 9 loadout you should use in MW3 Ranked Play and other multiplayer modes:

• Barrel: Striker Recon Long Barrel
• Muzzle: Purifier Muzzle Break S
• Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
• Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip
• Stock: RB Crotalus Assault Stock

Like the other loadout, this particular one for Ranked Play contains a long barrel to increase the range for the Striker 9. This makes it a bit more on par with assault rifles. However, it gains an edge over them with a bit more speed, thanks to other key attachments. This gives it the right mix of a speedy SMG and mid-range killer, so it will do well in most scenarios.

Be it capturing a point or defending the Search & Destroy bomb, this is a flexible SMG that will rival others like the WSP Swarm and RAM-9.
