The SMGs in Modern Warfare 3 are ideal for close-range combat, and the WSP Swarm returned as a lethal option in Season 3. So, here’s the best WSP Swarm loadout in MW3, including all the attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

Modern Warfare 3 is packed with weapons but when it comes to dominating close-range fights, then you’ll need a deadly SMG to run around with. Luckily, the WSP Swarm has all the makings of a top-tier SMG.

That being said, here’s the best WSP Swarm loadout in Modern Warfare 3 Season 3.

Best MW3 WSP Swarm loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider
  • Barrel: WSP Reckless-90 Long Barrel
  • Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop
  • Stock: FSS Fortress Heavy Stock
  • Magazine: 50 Round Mag

We kick off the best WSP Swarm loadout in MW3 with the WSP Reckless-90 Long Barrel, buffing the SMG’s range and bullet velocity. This is crucial as it allowed me to pick up a bunch of distant enemies easily, despite having an SMG.

Then, we’ve gone for the Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider and FSS Fortress Heavy Stock for extra recoil control to keep it accurate at mid-range.

Next up is the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop, which drastically improves the ADS, sprint-to-fire, and general movement speed. Finally, the 50 Round Mag ensures plenty of ammo given the weapon’s blistering fire rate.

Best MW3 WSP Swarm loadout Perks & Equipment

  • Vest: Infantry
  • Gloves: Commando
  • Gear: Ghost T/V Camo
  • Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Trophy System

The best WSP Swarm loadout in MW3 encourages players to get up close and personal with enemies, so we’re starting by buffing Tactical Sprint with the Infantry Vest. This pairs nicely with the Commando Gloves, which let you reload while sprinting.

You’ll want to avoid being spotted, so the Ghost T/V Camo will keep you off the radar while moving when the other team has a UAV, and Covert Sneakers will mask your footsteps.

When it comes to Equipment, a Semtex is an easy way to secure a quick kill, and a Stun Grenade makes it incredibly easy to clean up kills on concussed players.

Finally, the Trophy System Field Upgrade is essential, as it blocks enemy explosives, perfect for capturing an objective.

How to unlock WSP Swarm in MW3

Modern Warfare 3 players can unlock the WSP Swarm by hitting Level 27. While it may take some time to unlock the SMG, players can speed up the process by using Double XP Tokens.

Best WSP Swarm alternatives in MW3

If the WSP Swarm isn’t working for you in MW3, we recommend going for the Striker as an alternative. This top-tier SMG also has an incredible fire rate but is a little more accurate at mid-range. The Rival-9 is also extremely easy to use with great mobility.
