Best Warzone Striker 9 loadout attachments

Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
Barrel: Striker Elite Long Barrel
Magazine: 50 Round Drum
Ammunition: 9mm High Grain Rounds
Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop

To kick off the best Warzone Striker 9 loadout, we picked the Striker Elite Long Barrel, which improves the bullet velocity and damage range. The ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider is perfect for reducing recoil and improving the Striker 9’s firing aim stability.

While the Striker 9’s precision is top tier, the goal is to primarily use it as close-range SMG, so it still needs to have excellent speed. The mobility boost that the DR-6 Handstop provides is a vital addition.

We’ve opted for the 9mm High Grain Rounds as the attachment brings a big boost to the Striker 9 by increasing bullet velocity. This attachment will make it the perfect weapon on Resurgence maps, but feel free to select an Optic instead if you’re not comfortable using the weapon’s iron sights.

The 50 Round Drum will ensure that you don’t run out of bullets when facing multiple enemies in Trios or Quads. When playing Solos or Duos I prefer the 40 Round Mag for the added mobility.

Best Warzone Striker 9 loadout Perks & Equipment

Perk 1: Double Time
Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
Perk 3: Tempered
Perk 4: High Alert
Lethal Equipment: Semtex
Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade

To optimize your Warzone Striker 9 loadout with the best Perks and Equipment, we picked Double Time, boosting your mobility, especially on large maps like Urzikstan. However, when hitting Rebirth Island, I choose to equip Mountaineer over Double Time, as the reduction to fall damage is clutch on the small map.

Then Sleight of Hand allows for quick reloads, which is a safe bet for any of Warzone’s maps.

Tempered will allow you to reach maximum health faster by going from three armor plates to two. Next, High Alert will prevent enemies from sneaking up on you, as you’ll know when enemy eyes are on your Operator.

For Equipment, we opted for the Semtex and Flash Grenade combination, which allows you to clear buildings easily in addition to blinding enemies and being able to attack them when they’re disoriented.

Picking the right combination of Perks is vital in Modern Warfare 3 if you want to dominate lobbies.
