Best Modern Warfare 3 FR Avancer attachments
After testing all kinds of combinations for the FR Avancer, we've uncovered a set of five that allow you to shred the opposition in close-quarters and mid-range engagements:
- Muzzle: Casus Brake
- Barrel: 600mm FR Longbore
- Optic: Slimline Pro
- Underbarrel: Chewk Angled Grip
- Rear Grip: RMT Grip
To manage the tricky recoil pattern of the FR Avancer, the Casus Brake muzzle and Chewk Angled Grip ensure high levels of accuracy are maintained in the heat of battle.
For a major damage boost, the 600mm FR Longbore barrel is the way to go. The extra firepower makes all the difference at longer distances and guarantees a fast time to kill is consistent.
In order to snap onto any incoming targets, the RMT Grip reduces sprint-to-fire speed and aim-down sight time while the Slimline Pro optic provides a clear view of anyone who wanders into your crosshair.
Best Modern Warfare 3 FR Avancer perks and equipment
Below, we’ve got the best perks and equipment to help you get the most out of the FR Avancer in Modern Warfare 3.
Perks
- Vest: Overkill
- Gloves: Assault
- Boots: Running Sneakers
- Gear: Bone Conduction Headset
Undoubtedly, the best vest to pair with the FR Avancer is the overkill vest, which gives a huge further improvement to the Avancer's mobility, as well as allowing you to reload while sprinting. This is an important perk to have, as it will allow you to rapidly close down targets while reloading your weapon, letting you make the most of the Avancer's great close-range performance.
Use the assault gloves to improve your ability to shoot while jumping to give you an advantage in close fights. Finally, take the running sneakers and the bone conduction headset, to help you better hear your opponents, as well as enable you to sprint for longer to make you even more mobile.
Equipment
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Smoke Grenade
Frag grenades offer a versatile and reliable way to kill opponents at a greater range than your Avancer. Any of the lethal types of equipment can be used reliably to secure yourself some kills, however, frag grenades are one of the easiest to get to grips with.
Also, for the tactical equipment, the smoke grenade will allow you to block your opponent's sight lines, and allow you to close down opponents wielding superior ranged weapons. This helps reduce the impact of having no ranged capability with the FR Avancer.
