Marksman Rifles are back in MW3. These weapons have been around in CoD for a number of years now and they are basically the "light snipers". Here is how we rank every Marksman Rifle in Modern Warfare 3 for multiplayer.
We finally have a great CoD game again in Modern Warfare 3! We've been playing almost constantly, and we've been enjoying some of the Marksman Rifles so far. The best Marksman Rifles in MW3 still aren't going to be as popular as the ARs (at least for multiplayer) but there are some decent weapons in this class.
If you are new to "Marksman Rifles" in CoD these are essentially slightly weaker but faster snipers. The whole category get's pretty muddled, but that's what happens when you try to include BRs, MMRs and Snipers in one game.
Note: This just how we rate the Marksman Rifles available in the MW3 beta, we will update our ranking once the full game launches with our complete MMR ranking.
Ranking Every Marksman Rifle In MW3
2. MTZ-Interceptor
Wow, now this is an awful weapon. It might one day have a place in Warzone but in Multiplayer there's no way I can see this weapon becoming the meta unless it was fundamentally reworked.
The problem is very simple: The Interceptor can one-shot to the head, but it needs two-shots to kill if you hit anywhere else, however, the rate of fire is so slow that any half decent player will gun you before you can land that second shot. One-shot-headshots are always satisfying, but it's not enough of a justification to use this weapon over the dozens of other, better choices.
We really don't have anything good to say about the Interceptor, this was a painful gun to level up.
- Here is our best MTZ-Interceptor loadout
1. MCW 6.8
The MCW 6.8 is not a good weapon, but unlike the Interceptor, it is at least viable.
The MCW 6.8 is one-shot to the head and two-shots to the body, but it has a great rate of fire for a semi-auto weapon, and so you can often land that follow-up shot to the body just in time to get the kill. This makes it just about viable and fun in pubs, but it's still a very long way off being meta, or even competitive.
The MCW 6.8 provides some great attachments, so like or not you probably will be levelling it this year anyway.
That was our ranking of all the MMRs in Modern Warfare 3. Do you think we've chosen the best Marksman Rifle in MW3 for our top spot, or do you think we're sleeping on a meta weapon?
Which celeb will be next to collab with CoD?
