What are the best Modern Warfare 3 Victus XMR attachments?
The gunsmith contains various attachments that are capable of transforming the Victus XMR into a dominant sniper rifle on the battlefield. These attachments are guaranteed to make an impact:
- Barrel: Mack 8 33.5 Super
- Laser: 1MW Quick Fire Laser
- Stock: XRK Bullseye
- Ammunition: .50 Cal Spire Point Rounds
- Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
The Mack 8 33.5 Super barrel and .50 Cal Spire Point Rounds prevent any damage drop-off thanks to increases in damage range and bullet velocity.
For the fastest reaction times, the pairing of 1MW Quick Fire Laser and Bruen Q900 Grip reduces sprint-to-fire and aim-down sight speeds which makes all the difference when attempting to quickscope an opponent that suddenly strolls into your crosshairs.
Last and by no means least is the XRK Bullseye stock which provides a slight boost in sprint speed and aim walking speed, giving you the best possible chance of navigating the map as quickly as possible.
What are the best Modern Warfare 3 Victus XMR perks and equipment?
Fortunately, we can make an early call on the best perks and equipment to use with the Victus XMR in Modern Warfare 3.
Perks
- Vest: Gunner
- Gloves: Marksman
- Gear: Ghost
- Boots: Stalker
To start with, Gunner is a handy perk for shortening the reload time with the Victus XMR. We've then opted for Marksman, so you can sway and flinch less when aiming down your scope.
Next up, Ghost will conceal you from UAV and other enemy tracking systems, allowing you to slink around the map and find a vantage point. Lastly, Stalker lets you ADS faster, giving you even more of an advantage in tight combat scenarios.
Equipment
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Flash Grenade
When it comes to lethal equipment, Semtex is great for sticking a bomb to a wall and flushing out nearby enemies. You can then hit them with a Flash Grenade, leaving them completely vulnerable to a shot of your sniper rifle.
Is the Victus XMR meta in Modern Warfare 3?
Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that the Victus XMR won't enter the Modern Warfare 3 meta at any point. It doesn't match up to some of the best sniper rifles in the game's arsenal, so we'd be surprised to see it crop up frequently at any stage.
