Rival-9: Best build for Modern Warfare 3
The Rival-9 is available once a player reaches level 14 in Modern Warfare 3, but this does not guarantee that everything related to the weapon will also be unlocked. To unlock some of the best weapon attachments, players must rank up with the Rival-9, just like with any other weapon in the Call of Duty games.
One of the Rival-9’s main strengths is its exceptional portability. This submachine gun allows players to move quickly and fluidly, making it ideal for breaking through tight spaces and hitting enemies at close range.
During beta testing, this particular SMG is one of the best weapons to use in the small portion of the multiplayer game available to those who pre-ordered the game or managed to redeem the code.
- Barrel: Rival-38E Fire Starter Barrel
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Rear Grip: Rival Vice Assault Grip
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
- Underbarrel: Edge BW-4 Handstop
The best Rival-9 loadout for MW3 Beta features speed boosting attachments for the aggressive SMG class. The Rival-38 starting barrel and Edge BW-4 manual stop will be combined to increase movement speed, ADS speed and sprint speed to fire speed.
The Monolithic Silencer will then keep you away from the minimap, allowing you to move around the map undetected. Given the TTK increase evident in the MW3 beta, you’ll need to install a 40-round magazine so you can take on multiple enemies in a row.
Perks:
- Vest: Infantry
- Gloves: Commando
- Equipment: Ghost T/V Camouflage
- Boots: Secret
- Deadly: Semtex
- Tactics: Flash Grenade
- Field equipment: self-propelled guns
When it comes to gaining perks and gear for the best Rival-9 loadout in Modern Warfare 3, the goal is to maximize speed and movement. First, the Infantry Vest will improve your tactical sprint by reducing its cooldown and extending its duration. The Commando Gloves will then allow you to recharge while sprinting, further expanding your movement options.
Next, the combination of Secret Boots and Ghost T/V Camouflage Gear will make stealth gameplay easier, allowing you to run around the map freely. The boots will muffle your footsteps, and the Ghost T/V camo will allow you to evade enemy UAVs while you’re on the move.
Throwing a flashbang and Semtex quickly will increase the speed of gameplay that makes this class easier. ACS field equipment will lock onto targets while you position yourself nearby to score quick easy kills.
