Scump reveals Rival-9 loadout to dominate Modern Warfare 3 ranked play

Seth ‘Scump’ Abner may have retired last year, but he’s still undoubtedly one of the greatest Call of Duty players in the world, and now he’s shown his Rival-9 Modern Warfare 3 class that he uses in ranked play.

While finding the best ranked play loadouts in Modern Warfare 3, it can sometimes be difficult to get the perfect attachments that do everything you need the gun to do, whether you’re an AR or an SMG player.

As one of the greatest (if not the greatest) submachine gun player of all time, Scump’s opinions are usually worth making note of, and more often than not, the SMG loadouts he uses are worth imitating.

With the Rival-9 being the dominant SMG in the competitive meta, this is what you’re going to want to be using — and Scump’s might just be the best.

Here are the attachments Scump uses on his Rival-9:

• Muzzle: Purifier Muzzle Brake S
• Barrel: Rival-C Clearshot Barrel
• Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
• Stock: MTZ Marauder Stock
• Rear Grip: Rival Vice Assault Grip

In the clip, Scump is debating between the DR-6 handstop underbarrel and the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop, though ultimately lands on the DR-6, so this could be a possible tweak to make if you’re unsure about the gun.

This isn’t far removed from the meta Rival loadout that most competitive and CDL players will be using anyway, though there may be some tweaks you want to make based on what works best for you.

The Rival did receive some tweaks in the Season 1 Reloaded update, with a slight decrease in horizontal recoil. That said, the Marauder stock was nerfed too, so if things don’t feel right, you could consider swapping that out.
