The Striker is one of the odd SMGs inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3as it does not have a high rate of fire but can be precise like an Assault Rifle. Being a new gun, the Striker has quickly become part of the Meta and is quite commonly used by other players. So, to beat other players at their own game, you will need a reliable Stiker loadout that will give you a competitive advantage.
The Striker has a quick Time-to-kill ratio (TTK), making it a very sought-after weapon during online matches. With the right loadout, the Striker can also improve yourKD inMW3if you use the weapon as intended. It is important to state that the Striker is still an SMG,meaning it’s best used for closed-to-medium-range gunfights.

The below loadout willmake the gun highly effective at close range with high damage and let you move around quickly. These attachments will also give you better gun control so that you can target your opponents faster.
However, it is worth noting that there are some disadvantages to using this loadout. Since the Striker has a low fire rate,you cannot afford to miss too many shots. You will also be unable to target far-off enemies like you would Assault Rifles, so you might want to move closer to your opponent, increasing the risk of getting spotted.
Here are the best attachments and gear you can use with the Striker for a No Recoil Loadout, according toWzstats:

Striker Perks and Other Gear
Everything That Aids The Striker
Pairing the loadout with the right perks is essential to making the Striker even more effective. Most of these Perks add to the Striker’s strengths and compensate for stats that will be reduced using the aboveloadout inMW3. For example, the Double Time Perk will improve your movement speed, whileSleight of Hand will let you reload faster, an essential Perk for close combat encounters. So, here are the best Perks you can use along with the Striker:
For perspective, some of these Perks can be swapped for others you prefer. However, certain Perks such as Resolute and Stalker are recommended as they are most effective when you’re in tight spaces or the last few stages of the circle inWarzone.
The above Perks have also been paired with a Stun Grenade, as it gives you the opportunity todisorient your opponent and take them down quickly. However, you can switch out the Throwing Knife with a grenade if you aren’t too comfortable with it.
Using the Throwing Knife/Star will let you take down enemies with a single hit, which might not be the case for other equipment you use.
Double Time might be the most important Perkin this Striker build, as it will let you chase or get away from opponents faster. Sprint duration can be quite limiting, which can determine your chances of survival in sticky situations.
The best loadout for the Striker primarily focuses on movement, accuracy, and damage so that you have the best possible advantage to win a gunfight. While the above loadout is recommended, you can always switch out equipment and Perks that suit you best. Nevertheless, the Striker is still considered one of the best weapons to use inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, even after numerous patches and weapon balancing.
