The MCW was the absolute meta of pre-season in MW3 and was later added to Warzone. But a while after the release of Season 1, the downfall of our good old ACR began. However, now that the MW3 Ranked Play is out, there are only three ARs that are qualified on CDL rules, SVA 545, Ram-7, and the MCW. The first two ARs are good, but the MCW is the jack of all trades by having every stat points you need! This is the best MW3 Ranked Play Meta Loadout you need to use for winning gunfights much easier in competitive action.

  • Muzzle: HMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Barrel: KR Midnight 13″ Barrel
  • Rear Grip: RB Rapidstrike Grip
  • Magazine: 40-Round Mag
  • Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x

One of the most important features of MCW as an assault rifle is that it comes with many barrel types, each suitable for a playstyle. For using the meta MW3 Ranked Play loadout, however, you’d need the KR Midnight 13″ Barrel. This attachment is just outside of Call of Duty‘s realm, increasing both damage range and mobility.

The next essential thing that you need to have in this loadout is the HMN35 Compensated Flash Hider. This is a muzzle attachment, capable of shortening your mini-map reveal time when you shoot your weapon while also helping you in the recoil control department.

To improve the mobility of the MCW, you can go for the RB Rapidstrike Grip. No worries about the accuracy; the barrel and muzzle will do their job to keep this gun a golden one for the best MW3 Ranked Play meta loadout. The next thing you need is a better optic like the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x. Last but not least, slap a 40-round mag under your MCW, and you’re good to go.

Secondary

Renetti Build

Renetti is a true OP weapon in the pistol category. This burst-shooting pocket pistol is capable of dealing high damage to your opponents while still giving you the mobility you need to move faster at the beginning of each round. The reason we haven’t picked a melee weapon for the secondary is that you can not one-stab kill anyone in MW3 Ranked Play as it has been nerfed.

Equipment

  • Stun Grenade
  • Flash Grenade
  • Trophy System

The options range is so small in the equipment part of building the best MW3 Ranked Play meta loadout. Frag Grenade is the only option you have for the lethal. For the tactical, however, we prefer using Stun Grenade over Flash. This is because Stun shortens your opponent’s movement and aiming speed, giving a higher advantage. For the final piece of equipment here, remember to choose the Trophy System over Dead Silence; you’ll know why, as we’ve explained below.

Meta Perks To Use In MW3 Ranked Play

  • Marksman Gloves
  • Covert Sneakers
  • Mag Holster

Even if you don’t use a sniper rifle, the Marksman Gloves give your operator steady hands to shoot with less flinch. More accuracy always works in the Ranked Play. Then, we have the Covert Sneakers, which is quite weird that the developers have kept it in the Ranked mode. It eliminates your footstep’s sound, giving the Dead Silence field upgrade a marathon for its money. Last but not least, the Mag Holster is there to help you reload faster.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is currently available to play on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
