Snipers remain a popular choice in MW3 Season 4 and the Longbow is one of the best options thanks to its mobility. Here’s the best Longbow loadout in Modern Warfare 3, including attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

While Assault Rifles and SMGs tend to dominate, Snipers in Modern Warfare 3 are a great choice for those with enough confidence in their aim, and the Longbow is one of the best options in the game’s Season 4.

So, if you’re looking to run this gun, here’s the best Longbow loadout in MW3 Season 4.

Best MW3 Longbow loadout attachments

  • Optic: Lachmann Impact 9
  • Rear Grip: Nought-Z3 Grip
  • Stock: No Stock
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Conversion Kit: JAK Tyrant 762 Kit

The best Longbow loadout in Modern Warfare 3 kicks off with the JAK Tyrant 762 Kit, which increases ADS speed, range, and damage. This attachment was a personal favorite of mine in multiplayer, as it’s perfect for quickscoping and staying mobile.

The No Stock, DR-6 Handstop, and Nought-Z3 Grip combination will bring a huge increase in sprint-to-fire speed, ADS speed, and mobility.

Finally, the Optic attachment comes down to personal preference as players tend to prefer the one they feel most comfortable with. I usually go with the Lachmann Impact 9, but the Corio 13x VRS is also a great choice.

Best MW3 Longbow Perks & Equipment

  • Vest: Infantry
  • Gloves: Commando
  • Boots: Stalker Boots
  • Gear: Tac Mask
  • Lethal: Breacher Drone
  • Tactical: Flash Grenade
  • Field Equipment: Trophy System

When it comes to Perks in the best MW3 Longbow loadout, we recommend you start with the Infantry Vest for slicker movement around the map. Next, the Commando Gloves, which allow you to reload while sprinting, an incredibly useful Perk for a player who loves to run and gun.

Stalker Boots are essential to the build, drastically buffing the Sniper’s ADS and strafe speed to make the Longbow ideal for quickscoping. Finally, the Tac Mask reduces the effects of enemy Flash Grenades, ensuring you can still hit your shots.

Equipment-wise, Breacher Drones can quickly clear a room with minimal effort, while Flash Grenades blind opponents before you get to pick them off.

How to unlock Longbow in Modern Warfare 3

Modern Warfare 3 players can unlock the Longbow by reaching Level 4, the same level that custom loadouts are also unlocked. This shouldn’t take you too long in multiplayer, but you could take advantage of the Double XP events to speed up the process.

Best Longbow alternatives in Modern Warfare 3

If the Longbow isn’t cutting it for you in MW3, consider switching to the powerful MORS. Or, if you’d prefer a heavy Sniper, KATT-AMR could be for you. On the other hand, you might want something fully automatic that still has great range, in that case, go for the MCW.

That’s the best Longbow loadout for MW3, given its fantastic mobility you’d want to make sure you know how to slide cancel, as well as equip the best audio setup and controller settings to excel during multiplayer matches.
