January 2, 2024 - We've updated our LMG tier list for Modern Warfare 3.

Searching for the best Modern Warfare 3 LMG to use in multiplayer? We've got all the intel you need. Ahead of its full release, the beta is offering players a chance to get their hands on some weaponry to see if it's worthy of slotting into the early meta.

Modern Warfare 3 contained an extensive gun list packed with firepower even before Season 1 added more weaponry to master across numerous maps and game modes. As always, some are much better than others thanks to the characteristics they possess on the battlefield.

But, before we reveal more about the best Modern Warfare 3 LMG, take a look at our other guides showcasing the best SMG and our walkthrough hub packed with information on Modern Warfare 3.

What is the best Modern Warfare 3 LMG?

Right now, the best Modern Warfare 3 LMG to use is the Holger 26. Armed with an incredibly fast rate of fire and recoil that's easy to control, With a strong set of attachments equipped, the Holger 26 could well be one of the best guns and weapons to use in the entire game.

For now, it's worth using in mid and long-range combat.

Modern Warfare 3 LMG tier list

As there are only two known LMGs in Modern Warfare 3, our LMG tier list is starting out small. We've managed to rank the pair based on their in-game performance:

S tier

A tier

B Tier

The Pulemyot 762 is a more traditional LMG. It feels heavy and the lack of mobility leaves you vulnerable to fast-moving assault rifle players and submachine gunners that can take full advantage of the movement changes.

However, it does pack a punch in mid-range combat, so if you're looking to post up in a spot overlooking a large portion of the map, you may gravitate towards this particular choice despite it lacking in comparison to the Holger 26.

As the cycle progresses, we'll be sure to update the Modern Warfare 3 LMG tier list as new weaponry joins the category.
