Best Modern Warfare 3 X12 perks and equipment

For even more customization on your X12 loadout, here are some perks and equipment you can try out.

Perks

• Vest: Overkill
• Gloves: Marksman
• Boots: Lightweight
• Gear: Tac Mask

Equipping yourself with the Overkill vest will boost your weapon mobility by increasing your weapon swap speed and allowing you to reload while sprinting. With the Marksman gloves, you’ll have an easier time landing shots as it reduces the sway and flinch while ADS.

The Lightweight boots grant you faster movement and swim speed while also reducing the noise you make while swimming. To help your survivability, the Tac Mask will reduce the effects of enemy flash grenades, stun grenades, shock, EMP, and snapshot grenades.

Equipment

• Lethal: Frag Grenade
• Tactical: Flash Grenade

The Frag Grenade is great at providing you with that extra bit of damage to pick up a few more kills here and there. A well-placed throw with this grenade can also cut off enemy escape routes and chokepoints.

Using the Flash Grenade will stun opponents for a brief moment, giving you extra time to line up your shots. It’s also great to use to help you clear corners.

Is the Modern Warfare 3 X12 meta?

Since the X12 looks like it’s already a well-balanced handgun, to begin with, there’s a good chance that it’ll find its way onto any meta. It looks like it can also serve as a solid placeholder until you can find something else that better suits your style.

And that wraps up our guide on the best Modern Warfare 3 X12 loadout. To compare it with other handgun loadouts, take a look at what we have for the COR-45 and the Basilisk.
