MW3 contains a lot of guns players can choose from, and despite not being the most popular gun category, the Marksman Rifles, such as the DM56, boast low recoil and great damage, making them a highly popular choice for mid to long ranges.

So, here’s the best DM56 loadout for Modern Warfare 3 Season 3, including all the attachments, Perks, Equipment, and more.

Best MW3 DM56 loadout attachments

  • Barrel: Prime Lord Heavy Barrel
  • Optic: Slimline Pro
  • Ammunition: 5.56 NATO High Grain Rounds
  • Underbarrel: XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop
  • Stock: Holger Recoil Pad

To kick off the best MW3 DM56 loadout, we picked the Prime Lord Heavy Barrel, which improves the gun’s bullet velocity and range, and combined with the 5.56 NATO High Grain Rounds Ammunition, it will further boost both stats.

Then, we chose the XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop Underbarrel to enhance the ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds, alongside boosting the vertical recoil and gun kick control. The Holger Recoil Pad Stock will also help enhance the recoil and gun kick control.

Finally, the Slimline Pro Optic will allow you to easily spot enemies at mid to long ranges in large maps like Estate or Wasteland.
