Best PDSW 528 Loadout for Multiplayer
| Muzzle | Sonic Suppressor S |
|---|---|
| Barrel | FTAC Defense 14.5" |
| Laser | VLK LZR 7MW |
| Rear Grip | STIP-40 Grip |
| Underbarrel | DR-6 Handstop |
You can get a kill with 5 shots if you focus your hits on the upper body within the Effective Damage Range, in which case the TTK will be as fast as the one of the strongest SMGs, the Rival-9. With the Rival-9, it is easier to get a kill with 5 shots in addition to the faster ADS Speed, but the PDSW 528 can shoot 50 Rounds with no attachments equipped.
This build improves the Range with the Muzzle and Barrel but the Barrel greatly lowers the ADS Speed so we selected the Laser and Underbarrel to make up for that. This weapon is overall well balanced, but the ADS Speed is slightly slower than average so always try to be the one to strike first.

After being Pack-a-Punched once, PDSW 528 can hold up to 400 rounds, making it one of the highest-capacity weapons in MW3. With it, you won't have to worry about reloading frequently, and you can easily move around due to its outstanding mobility and handling.
