What is the best Modern Warfare 3 VEL 46 loadout?
- Perks: Infantry / Commando / Ghost T/V Camo / Stalker

After some extensive testing of the VEL 46 and various attachment combinations, we've uncovered a set of five that's incredibly versatile for almost all in-game scenarios:
- Barrel: Schlager RV-B
- Stock: Assault-60 Stock
- Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop
- Magazine: 50 Round Mag
- Rear Grip: Schlager Soldier Grip
The Schlager RV-B barrel provides significant boosts to bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil control meaning you can compete against assault rifle players in mid-range battles with the VEL 46 in hand. To tackle multiple enemies in quick succession, the 50 Round Mag expands the magazine giving you enough bullets to eliminate several opponents with ease.
Recoil is tamed even further thanks to the Assault-60 Stock while the Schlager Solder Grip provides faster aim-down sight and sprint-to-fire speeds giving you everything to react as soon as a potential target moves into view. Along with the rear grip, the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop also enhances ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds.
Best Modern Warfare 3 VEL 46 perks and equipment
Once the best VEL 46 attachments are ready to rumble, it's time to select four perks and two pieces of equipment capable of bolstering your performance even further. Here's what we recommend:
Perks
- Vest: Infantry
- Gloves: Commando
- Gear: Ghost T/V Camo
- Boots: Stalker
The Infantry vest increases the length of your Tactical Sprint, allowing you to navigate the maps as fast as possible. Commando gloves grant you the ability to reload while sprinting, ensuring the mobility of the VEL 46 is maintained in all scenarios.
Up next is the Ghost T/V Camo which conceals your location from any airborne UAVs while moving around the map. If you stay stationary, you'll appear as a red dot on the minimap. Last and by no means least are Stalker boots. The improvements in strafing and aim-down sight speeds guarantee fast reaction times and the ability to outplay other fast-moving submachine gunners.
Equipment
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Flash Grenade
The trusty combination of Semtex and flash grenade is bound to prove popular if you're looking to deal extra damage and disrupt the opposition. Throw the Semtex near a congested area of the battlefield for maximum impact and if it doesn't score any kills, follow up with a flashbang to stop anyone from getting away.
Is the Modern Warfare 3 VEL 46 meta?
It's hard to tell whether the VEL 46 will slot in among the best guns and weapons as there are so many viable options in Modern Warfare 3. For running and gunning, expect it to dominate but at longer distances, there's a high chance it will struggle against assault rifles and LMGs.
