Best Modern Warfare 3 Tempus Razorback attachments
After testing all kinds of different combinations, this set of five is perfect for making an impact with the Tempus Razorback:
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Barrel: 18" Tack-2L
- Stock: OPR Threat
- Underbarrel: Chewk Angled Grip
- Rear Grip: FLT-22
The Harbinger D20, Chewk Angled Grip, and OPR Threat provide significant reductions in recoil which makes all the difference when attempting to tame the Tempus Razorback's lethal rate of fire.
To make the most of the rifle's quickness, the 18" Tack-2L barrel increases bullet velocity and range in addition to movement speed which makes the Tempus Razorback one of the more versatile weapons in the Modern Warfare 3 arsenal.
Lastly, the FLT-22 rear grip brings down sprint-to-fire and aim-down sight speeds guaranteeing lightning-fast reaction times in the heat of battle.
Best Modern Warfare 3 Tempus Razorback perks and equipment
Assault rifles, like all weapons in Modern Warfare 3, benefit greatly from perks that cover their blind spots. Equipment can also help you get ahead in matches. We've listed some great combinations below.
Perks
- Vest: Overkill
- Gloves: Quick-Grip
- Boots: Running sneakers
- Gear: Threat identification system
In the vest slot, the overkill perk shines. Boasting increased weapon swap speed and unlocking the ability to reload while sprinting, this perk makes sure you're always ready for a fight.
Gloves will boost your performance with the quick-grip perk. They make your weapon swapping even faster, and when combined with the overkill perk, your flinching and swaying are reduced while aiming down the sights.
Your boots will excel when using the running sneakers perk. They increase the duration of your tactical sprints and refresh them faster, getting you around the map quickly.
The gear slot has many options, but assault rifles benefit most from the threat identification system. It automatically pings enemy locations in your crosshairs while aiming down the sights, so you always know where enemies are hiding.
Equipment
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Flash grenade
As an always-on-the-move rifle user, the Semtex excels. It's a sticky bomb that guarantees a kill on anyone close, making it effective at closing off areas.
If you're tired of enemies jumping and sliding around, the flash grenade slows them down enough for a swift kill. You'll need to be careful not to look at the flash yourself, however.

The Tempus Razorback is a powerful gun, though, and its lack of recoil makes it an appealing choice. Assault rifles tend to be quite popular, too, so we believe it's definitely got the potential to stand out.
