Best WSP Swarm MW3 loadout
- Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor
- Barrel: WSP Reckless-90 Long Barrel
- Optic: Quarters Classic Reflex
- Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
The Shadowstrike Suppressor muzzle keeps the WSP Swarm’s outgoing fire silent keeping you off the minimap. This enables a flanking-centric playstyle which is further enhanced by the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop with the underbarrel greatly improving several key mobility and handling stats.
Two key weaknesses of the WSP Swarm are its small magazine and low range. The WSP Reckless-90 Long Barrel helps improve damage range making you more competitive from further away while the 40 Round Mag helps you reload less often while not affecting the SMG’s outstanding mobility.
This weapon’s iron sights can be difficult to use at times so it’s also best to equip a suitable close-range optic. Though there are several good options the Quarters Classic Reflex stands out due to its clear sights and nostalgia bonus.
The WWP Swarm is a fantastic SMG that dominates at close range.
WSP Swarm MW3 loadout: Perks & Equipment
- Vest: Demolition Vest
- Gloves: Scavenger Gloves
- Boots: Covert Sneakers
- Gear: Ghost T/V Camo
- Field Upgrade: Trophy System
- Lethal: Frag Grenade (x2)
- Tactical: Stun Grenade
The Demolition Vest would be an ideal choice when you’re running an SMG build as it resupplies Lethal and Tactical equipment every 25 seconds. You’ll be at an advantage as you can outsmart enemies using your additional utility.
Scavenger gloves resupply ammo from eliminated players which can be handy to survive longer and go on huge killstreaks. It’s also worth combining both the Covert Sneakers boots and Ghost T/V Camo gear to block UAVs, enemy radar, and Heartbeat Sensor detections while remaining silent while on the move.
A combination of Frag Grenades and Stun Grenades is a classic as these pieces of equipment are easy to use and give you a big advantage. For Field Upgrade, choose the Trophy System to protect yourself from incoming enemy equipment and launcher spam.
