Trying to find the best RPG-7 loadout in Modern Warfare 3? In this guide, we'll be breaking down all be best equipment and perks to equip with the RPG-7. Also, we'll be giving our thoughts on whether the RPG-7 will play a role in the game's competitive meta
The RPG-7 is an unwieldy, unguided rocket launcher, carrying only two missiles when you spawn in, with a maximum capacity of three. Compared to other launchers like the PILA, the RPG-7 requires a decent amount of ability to use effectively, as manually aiming your slow-moving rockets can be a difficult skill to master.
Before we take a look at the best RPG-7 loadout, check out our guide on the optimal Modern Warfare 3 graphics settings or our walkthrough on the PC system requirements for Modern Warfare 3. You can find these and many more guides in our dedicated Modern Warfare 3 walkthrough hub.

In Modern Warfare 2, the RPG-7 wasn't able to be modified with any attachments. Unsurprisingly, this is still the case in Modern Warfare 3, with players locked into using the RPG-7 as is. Therefore, to customise your loadout, you'll have to ensure that the RPG-7 is paired with a capable secondary weapon.
When we've had a chance to play Modern Warfare 3 and experiment with some of the game's secondary weapons, we’ll be updating this guide with our thoughts on the best loadout for the RPG-7. Check back later to get the latest intel.

By using the Gunsmith, players can significantly change how their gun behaves and looks. However, this doesn't apply to the RPG-7; as detailed before, the RPG-7 cannot be modified at the Gunsmith, so if you want to use this launcher, you'll have to take it at face value.
If attachments are ever added for the RPG-7, we'll be updating this section with our top picks for the RPG-7 launcher.
Best Modern Warfare 3 RPG-7 perks and equipment
Below, we’ve got the best perks and equipment to help you get the most out of the RPG-7 in Modern Warfare 3.
Perks
- Vest: Overkill
- Gloves: Scavenger
- Boots: Covert Sneakers
- Gear: Bone Conduction Headset
Using the overkill vest with the RPG-7 will greatly improve your mobility, by increasing your weapon swap speed so you quickly draw your secondary. Additionally, the overkill vest will give you the ability to reload while sprinting. Additionally, the scavenger gloves will allow you to collect more ammunition from fallen enemies. If you're using the RPG-7, you'll have a very limited ammo capacity, so they're a vital perk to use.
Meanwhile, the covert sneakers will allow you to run around the map silently, which will help you get an advantage over unsuspecting enemies. Pairing these boots with the Bone Conduction Headset will give you the best possible audio experience in Modern Warfare 3, boosting the volume of your opponent's footsteps.
Equipment
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Flash Grenade
All of the lethal types of equipment are viable to use successfully. However, we feel that the frag grenade offers the most versatile yet easy-to-use, option. After some practice, you'll be able to master the frag grenades' trajectories and timings to eliminate enemies at any range.
Meanwhile, for your tactical equipment, flashes are a dynamic and classic piece of utility to bring along. You can use these to ambush enemies, then line them up in your RPG's sights as they run around while blinded.
Is the Modern Warfare 3 RPG-7 meta?
It's safe to say that the RPG-7 won't become a meta pick any time soon. The weapon simply can't compete against guns with higher fire rates and more ammunition, particularly at higher levels of play. Explosive rockets have their place in Modern Warfare 3, but that place is not in competitive MW3 lobbies. Instead, consider using an assault rifle or a submachine gun, if you're looking for a meta pick.
