Best Modern Warfare 3 Lockwood MK2 attachments

Thanks to the gunsmith, there are all kinds of ways to prepare the Lockwood MK2 for battle. After testing various combinations, these attachments are the best ones to use:

• Barrel: 25" Buffalo Barrel
• Laser: Pro Sapphire Cylindrical Laser
• Stock: Lockwood Bullseye Stock
• Ammunition: .45 GVT High Velocity
• Comb: Lockwood Defender Comb

The pairing of the 25" Buffalo Barrel and .45 GVT High Velocity ammunition guarantees the Lockwood MK2 eliminates targets in close and mid-range combat with a single shot.

For quick reactions, the Pro Sapphire Cylindrical Laser and Lockwood Bullseye Stock reduce aim-down sight speed so you can lock onto a target as soon as they appear in your crosshairs.

To keep recoil at a minimum, the Lockwood Defender Comb is the way to go. Improvements to gun kick and recoil control ensure the kick of the Lockwood MK2 doesn't impact accuracy.

By wearing Climbing boots, you can get faster climbing speed, so you will be able to get over obstacles and have a better view of the battlefield.

Finally, your Ghost Camo will conceal your location from enemy UAVs, along with rader sources and their heartbeat sensors. This will allow you to move around freely, without having to worry too much about being detected.
