Best MW3 Snipers
3. XRK Stalker
Season 1’s XRK Stalker maintains a top three spot among the best Sniper Rifles in Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 thanks to its top-tier damage and mobility. While it’s not the lightest Sniper Rifle around, it’s certainly more mobile than the KATT-AMR and this gun still packs a punch.
With the right attachments, you can vastly improve the XRK Stalker, boosting the gun’s mobility and damage further.
2. Longbow
The Longbow claims the runner-up spot when it comes to the best Sniper Rifles in MW3 thanks to the incredibly powerful JAK Tyrant 762 Kit. The Aftermarket Part increases the Longbow’s ability to dish out one-shot kills.
Combined with its already blistering speed and mobility, the Longbow feels similar to the classic Kar98k, thanks to its bolt-action mechanic. Despite receiving a nerf before the Season 3 update, the JAK Tyrant 762 Kit for the Longbow is still a worthwhile attachment to use on the weapon.
1. MORS – Best Sniper in MW3
The MORS from Advanced Warfare made its way to MW3 in Season 3 and it wasted no time claiming the title of best Sniper Rifle. Thanks to its electrical current effect, fantastic mobility, and quickscope potential, the MORS is one of the most fun Snipers to use in Season 3.
While players will have plenty of fun using the MORS to quickscope, you can just as easily build the weapon to excel at greater distances and pick enemies off with one shot at long-range.
That’s everything you need to know about the best Snipers in Modern Warfare 3 Season 3.
