Looking for the best Modern Warfare 3 Minibak loadout? The intel you're after is just down below. If this sounds like a weapon that's new to you, it probably isn't. The Minibak is the Modern Warfare version of the Bizon. Adored for its compact size yet large barrel, it's one to watch, with an overview of the best picks below, and a detailed breakdown of its preferred perks, equipment, and attachments coming after.
With Modern Warfare 3 now out there as the latest release and likely flocking point of the larger audience, there's no time like the present to get ahead of the game with a new and powerful loadout before others see its potential. The Minibak SMG is sitting pretty on our MW3 weapon tier list. Get some time in with it and you'll soon see why.
Before we dive in, though, spruce up on the art of war with the best MW3 Kastov 74u loadout, too. For some technical stuff, we've explained the MW3 zombie zones, how to change your username in Modern Warfare 3, and how MW3 ranked play works this time around.

Best Modern Warfare 3 Minibak attachments
After testing numerous combinations for the Minibak, this set of five will give you the best chance of topping the scoreboards.
- Barrel: BAK-9 279mm Barrel
- Laser: SZ 1MW PEQ
- Stock: Otrezat Stock
- Ammunition: 9mm Hollowpoint
- Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip
For maximum damage, the combination of BAK-9 279mm Barrel and 9mm Hollowpoint ammunition ensure there's no drop-off at longer distances in addition to hitting enemies with crippling power that slows the movement of opponents when their legs are hit.
For a slight boost in stability, the SZ 1MW PEQ laser does enough to keep the shots of the Minibak steady in the heat of battle.
To guarantee fast reaction times, the True-Tac Grip reduces sprint-to-fire and aim-down sight speeds while the Otrezat Stock increases sprint speed and walking speed while aiming.
Best Modern Warfare 3 Minibak perks and equipment
Here are the best perks and equipment to complete your Modern Warfare 3 Minibak loadout:
Perks
- Vest: Gunner
- Gloves: Commando
- Boots: Stalker
- Gear: Mag Holster
We recommend the Gunner vest for your Minibak loadout. Maximum ammo and faster reload speed reduce the risk of being caught with nothing left in the tank. Doubling this up with the Mag Holster gear means Mission Command Link kicks in as a freebie.
Being able to reload while on the run is essential for almost any SMG build, which is where the Commando gloves come in. You need to be able to run from one closed space to another without being caught without a viable weapon. Another near-essential SMG perk is the Stalker boot enhancement as it makes snapping with ADS a breeze. The strafing speed boost won't go amiss, either.
Equipment
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Flash Grenade
Semtex can help in rare situations where you know you'll be caught with no ballistics weapon left to use. In a pinch, hanging back with a Semtex can be the clutch that keeps you going.
On a similar beat as the Semtex, a Flash Grenade at the right time can be a saviour. When you know there's a group waiting around the corner, it can mean an easy killstreak with a weapon like this.
Is the Modern Warfare 3 Minibak meta?
Once we've checked out the Minibak's vital stats like recoil, reload speed, magazine size, and rate of fire, we'll be able to offer food for thought as to why it is (or isn't) a potential meta Modern Warfare 3 weapon. If it is, expect to see your favourite content creators dominating with it online.
For now, all we can do is gauge it against past efforts with the MW2 Minibak loadout or the Warzone Minibak loadout instead.
