Best WSP-9 loadout for MW3: Class setup, attachments, Perks & more

❘ Published: 2024-02-15T16:38:55

The WSP-9 received a big buff in Season 2 which turned it into one of the best SMGs to use. Here is the best WSP-9 loadout to dominate with the meta weapon in MW3.

Last appearing in Modern Warfare (2019), the Uzi returns to Call of Duty this time as the WSP-9. This 9mm SMG sacrifices fire rate for accuracy and range resulting in easily the most versatile submachine gun in MW3.

In the right hands, the WSP-9 is capable of competing against assault rifles from afar thanks to its impressive accuracy. Even better, following a buff in Season 2 it also deals considerably more damage at medium range and handles slightly faster.

We have you covered for the best WSP-9 attachments, perks, and equipment to use and get the most out of this highly adaptable SMG in Modern Warfare 3.

Barrel: WSP Infiltrator Integrated
Optic: Slate Reflector
Stock: WSP Factory Stock
Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop
Magazine: 32 Round Mag

With the enhanced movement in Modern Warfare 3 it’s best to build SMGs to be snappy while still making sure they can still hold their own at range. This is an area where the WSP-9 excels so it’s important to not waste that potential.

While integrated barrels were rarely useful in MW2, the WSP Infiltrator Integrated is a great option giving the WSP-9 an integrated suppressor that will keep you off the radar while also improving its recoil. This is a powerful combination when flanking and trying to catch the other team off guard.

To make the WSP-9 as mobile as possible it’s best to run the WSP Factory Stock and XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop underbarrel. When used together these massively improve mobility, most notably giving the WSP-9 a faster Aim Walking Speed than almost any other weapon in MW3.

The WSP-9 comes stock with just 25 Rounds which can be frustrating to work with, but the 32 Round Mag fixes this problem. Finally, the Slate Reflector is a clean all-around optic that is worth using as the WSP-9’s iron sights leave a lot to be desired especially when trying to stretch out its effective range.

Best WSP-9 MW3 class: Perks & equipment

Vest: CCT Comms Vest
Gloves: Assault Gloves
Boots: Covert Sneakers
Gear 1: Ghost T/V Camo
Gear 2: Blacklight Flashlight

The CCT Comms Vest causes enemies you kill to drop intel packs, which generate radar pings revealing other nearby foes. It also increases the duration enemies stay on radar which is extremely strong when running around with a UAV active.

A big benefit to this vest is it provides four equipment slots: Gloves, Boots, and two Gear, although this comes at the cost of both lethal and tactical grenades. For Gloves, the Assault Gloves are recommended which enable pushing more aggressively by improving accuracy and ADS time while mid-air.

Meanwhile, Covert Sneakers are a must for the boots slot as they silence footsteps letting you flank enemies much easier. This partners well with Ghost T/V Camo which hides you from enemy radar pings, combining with the suppressed barrel to create the perfect stealth loadout.

The second Gear slot can be adjusted to suit your preferred playstyle but Blacklight Flashlight has great synergy with the WSP-9 as you can track down enemies by following their footprints, using this SMG’s high mobility to your advantage and win more MW3 games.

How to unlock the WSP-9 in Modern Warfare 3

The Striker is another slow-firing SMG that is extremely accurate with a competitive TTK. Just like the WSP-9, the Striker has been buffed and is amongst one of the best weapons in MW3.
