Here’s the best MW3 WSP Stinger loadout you can build to take advantage of this powerful fully automatic Secondary SMG.

There are many Primary weapons to choose from in MW3, with Assault Rifles and SMGs being the more popular categories to pick from.

That said, a strong sidearm is equally important, but there isn’t as much of a wide range. Among them, the WSP Stinger is arguably the best Secondary you can use in Modern Warfare 3, as it’s essentially an SMG.

So, if you’re looking to take advantage of the WSP Stinger with the best attachments, Perks, and Equipment, here’s everything you need.

Best MW3 WSP Stinger loadout attachments

  • Barrel: HISS Short Light Barrel
  • Muzzle: S-37C DL Breacher Device S
  • Laser: XTEN Sidearm-L400
  • Rear Grip: Akimbo WSP Stinger
  • Magazine: 32 Round Mag

First off, the HISS Short Light Barrel will provide the MW3 WSP Stinger with improved damage range, bullet velocity, and accuracy. This Secondary packs a punch, and you’ll be firing from the hip thanks to the Akimbo WSP Stinger Rear Grip, so the S-37C DL Breacher Device S muzzle is perfect as it improves hipfire and Tac Stance spread.

To further improve your hipfire efficiency, the XTEN Sidearm-L400 laser will provide control and accuracy, allowing you to stay on target with these akimbo monsters. Lastly, we’ve chosen the 32 Round Mag to keep you topped up on ammo so that you can finish the kill.

Best MW3 WSP Stinger loadout Perks & Equipment

  • Vest: Infantry
  • Gloves: Assault
  • Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Gear: EOD Padding
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Stim
  • Field Upgrade: Med Box

When it comes to Perks, we’ve chosen the Infantry Vest so you can stay mobile, as this will increase your Tac Sprint duration and reduce the refresh time. As for Gloves, we’ve gone with Assault so that you can jump around corners and maintain accuracy.

The Covert Sneakers Boots will eliminate your footstep sounds, which is vital with any close-range weapon, and finally, you can’t go wrong with EOD Padding, as this will give you adequate protection against enemy explosives.

As for Equipment, Frag Grenades are very effective if you master cooking them before letting them go, while the Stim will keep your health and Tac Sprint topped up so you can stay on the go.

Lastly, the Med Box Field Upgrade is a great choice, as it will allow you and your teammates to reduce the healing delay, allowing you to get right back into the action with this close-range Secondary SMG.

How to unlock WSP Stinger in Modern Warfare 3

To unlock the WSP Stinger in MW3, you will need to complete 3 Daily Challenges in the Armory Unlocks.

If you have already finished all three of your challenges for the day, a bonus challenge will pop up which requires you to get wins. Each win will then count towards the Armory Unlocks challenge.

Best WSP Stinger alternatives in Modern Warfare 3

If you are yet to unlock the WSP Stinger, give its primary counterparts a go in the WSP Swarm and WSP-9, as these both provide similar performance, except they are not secondary weapons. If you’d like a Secondary alternative, give the Renetti a try, as this burst pistol can also be a powerful sidearm, especially if you also want to use it with the akimbo attachment.

As the WSP Stinger is a Secondary, we recommend running this with a strong, medium-to-long-ranged Primary weapon like the Longbow.
