LMGs are deadly at long range in Modern Warfare 3 and the DG-58 LSW is one of the strongest in its class. Here’s the best DG-58 LSW loadout in MW3, including the attachments, Perks, and Equipment needed to make the most powerful build.

Modern Warfare 3 features a ton of LMGs, all of which excel at medium-to-long-range combat. The DG-58 LSW has emerged as a meta pick in Season 3 Reloaded of MW3, dominating lobbies with its easy-to-control recoil and high damage.

Here is the best DG-58 LSW loadout in Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 Reloaded.

Best MW3 DG-58 LSW loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: Wudi Long Barrel
  • Optic: MK. 3 Reflector
  • Comb: FSS Last Stand Comb
  • Ammunition: 5.8×42 High Grain Rounds

We begin our best DG-58 LSW loadout in Modern Warfare 3 with the Komodo Heavy Muzzle, for improved recoil control and bullet velocity. Next up, we’ve gone for the Wudi Long Barrel, adding extra stability during gunfights, as well as a boost to the overall damage range and bullet velocity.

Although lighter than other weapons in its class this is still an LMG, so I found the FSS Last Stand Comb essential when it comes to improving the ADS and sprint-to-fire speed. For the Optic, the MK. 3 Reflector is a clean sight that’s been a fan favorite since MW3’s launch.

Finally, the 5.8×42 High Grain Rounds ammo provides one last buff to the range and bullet velocity, making the DG-58 LSW a monster over long distances.
