Switch To Renetti When Unlocked

Renetti is a very easy to use handgun introduced in Season 3. It possesses good handling and control so swap it out once you unlocked it while progressing the season 3 battle pass.

2 Lethal Items At your Disposal

Throw a Molotov when in doubt! The Shrapnel perk lets you carry 2 lethal equipment, allowing you to use them more freely. Throw Molotovs at objectives or through windows to damage unsuspecting enemies!

Lock Down Tight Spaces

This build is especially useful when fighting in enclosed spaces. Other than using MP5 submachine gun to clear rooms, you can lock down corridors with the suppressive prowess of a mounted PKM, or an assault rifle.

Easy To Build Thanks To Low Unlock Level

Thanks to the low unlock level, the items in this loadout are relatively easy to obtain and use in the build. You will be able to gain an advantage against other players early on in multiplayer!

Focus On Awareness & Security

Use The AN-94's Great Accuracy

The AN-94 boasts an incredibly low recoil when fired in bursts. Take advantage of this weapon's trait by landing precise hits and maintaining your distance.

You will also be able to utilize the AN-94's IR Scope by using Smoke Grenades. Use the smoke for cover or to mount an assault against the enemies.

Best 725 & R9-0 Loadout & Class

This loadout is mainly for veterans!!!

Built For Breaching Objectives

This loadout uses the 725 / R9-0 Shotgun's insane stopping power to be the brunt of assaults against objectives. Dedicate yourself on assault, breach & clearing out objectives non-stop for your team.

Use Pointstreaks Instead Of Killstreak

Since your focus will be on objectives instead of KD, you'll likely get more points from this other than killstreaks due to the inherent danger of being a breacher. Playing objectives will net more points however, so Pointman is chosen for this build.

Throw Everything You Got When Breaching

With 2 frags and a stun grenade, you can suppress an objective long enough to get close and personal with your 725 shotgun. Don't forget to toss everything before going in.

Works Great For Close-Quarter Maps Too

This loadout works well in smaller maps like Shoot House where encounter range is close. Swap Pointman for Ghost if you want to. For non-shottie user, use the loadout below.

Best MP5 Loadout & Class

This loadout is mainly for veterans!!!

Run & Gun Focused Gameplay

This build focuses on being able to run around the map as fast as you can, while at the same time, being able to dispatch enemies as quickly as possible. This is best used in small maps as the MP5 is a close range weapon.

Gain Health Regen Per Kill

Having the Quick Fix perk is very useful in this build as it increases health regen per kill. This will allow you to sustain yourself during fights, and helps you participate in multiple back-to-back gunfights.

Throwing Knife is an Instant Kill

The throwing knife is also useful as it gives you another option on dispatching targets. Aside from being a one-hit-kill, you can also retrieve it from fallen enemies to use again!

Get Killstreak Faster With Hardline

Hardline reduces the number of killstreak by 1 which can be huge depending on the circumstances. With low-kill killstreaks like the Personal radar or UAV, you can almost use it every time for each life.

Modern Warfare: Best MK2 Carbine, SKS Loadout & Class

Support Your Allies In Variety Of Ways

Instead of camping, this sniper loadout focus on moving along with your team & assisting them in as many ways as possible: You cover their breach with a replenishing Stun grenade, you shoot down pesky UAVS exposing your team, you spot and deal with claymores & C4 that's in their paths, while covering them with your marksmen rifle.

The Holger-26 can double as an Assault Rifle or LMG depending on its equipped attachments. Use this weapon effectively by holding down objectives or taking those from the enemy. It can also effectively take down enemy Killstreaks.

Take Advantage Of The High-Capacity Magazine

While you can make the Holger-26 a full-on AR (or SMG), discarding the hefty magazine can be very disadvantageous. With the high-capacity magazine, you can take on droves of enemies before being required to reload.
