Weapons To Level Up First

Level 9: HMRES Mod Suppressor MW3 shows a red dot on the minimap when shooting, so you should get suppressors that can prevent this as soon as possible. This suppressor is especially recommended for its ability to increase bullet velocity. |
Sniper Rifles

Level 5: CASUS BRAKE Controlling horizontal recoil will be quite difficult compared to vertical recoil, so it is recommended to unlock this early on. Can be used on multiple weapons. |
