The gunsmith contains all kinds of attachments that improve various characteristics of the Striker. After a bit of testing, this set of five is perfect for close and mid-range combat:
- Barrel: Striker Recon Long Barrel
- Optic: MK. 3 Reflector
- Stock: Lachmann MK2 Light
- Rear Grip: FTAC G-5 Exo
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
Up first is the Striker Recon Long Barrel, which provides the only improvements to damage output in addition to a reduction in gun kick.
The pairing of the Bruen Heavy Support Grip and the FTAC G-5 Exo drastically reduces any recoil that could stop your shots from hitting the target. With hardly any recoil, they're excellent for keeping high accuracy in hectic gunfights.
With movement receiving a huge increase in speed in Modern Warfare 3, the Lachmann MK2 Light Stock is the way to go, thanks to even further enhancements in movement and sprint speed.
Best Modern Warfare 3 Striker class
Once the best Striker attachments are ready for battle, it's time to turn your attention to the perks and equipment that are capable of improving your in-game performance even further. Here are our recommendations:
Perks
- Vest: Infantry
- Gloves: Commando
- Boots: Stalker
- Gear: EOD Padding
Infantry vest is the most popular choice as it increases the length of Tactical Sprint and reduces its refresh time, allowing you to traverse the map as fast as possible.
Commando gloves allow you to reload while sprinting which is particularly handy when constantly on the move, while Tactical Pads elongate the slide distance and enable you to aim down sight when performing a slide. This is great for flying around a corner with an enemy patiently waiting for your arrival.
Lastly, EOD Padding provides increased explosive resistance from grenades that are bound to fly in your direction while playing any of the game modes on offer.
Equipment
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Flash Grenade
It's hard to go wrong with this trusty combination of Semtex and flash grenade. Stick the Semtex to an enemy for an explosive elimination and use the flashbang to blind anyone that could have their crosshair locked onto a doorway.
