The RAM-9 is one of the top SMGs in Modern Warfare 3, dominating close-quarters fights with its insane fire rate. Before you try it for yourself, here’s the best RAM-9 loadout in MW3 Season 4.

Modern Warfare 3 has many SMGs to choose from, and some fit the meta better than others. The RAM-9 stands as one of the best and easiest-to-use close-range guns that multiplayer has to offer.

So, here are the attachments, Perks, and Equipment to create the best RAM-9 loadout in Modern Warfare 3 Season 4.

Best MW3 RAM-9 loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Underbarrel: SL Skeletal Vertical Grip
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Retort 90 Grip Tape
  • Stock: HVS 3.4 Pad

Taming the MW3 RAM-9’s recoil and getting some firing aim stability was vital when using the weapon, so we’ve chosen the ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider, which improved accuracy and allowed me to hit more shots with ease.

Then, the SL Skeletal Vertical Grip gives the SMG a boost in handling with an improvement to ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds, as well as some vertical recoil control.

To keep you stocked up on ammo in the clip, the 40 Round Mag is perfect for taking on multiple enemies in quick succession. The HVS 3.4 Pad Stock offers some much-needed gun kick and recoil control to maintain accuracy, while the Retort 90 Grip Tape provides more of the same with a boost to control.
