Best MTZ-762 MW3 loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks

Community members quickly crowned the BAS-B as the best Battle Rifle in MW3, but the MTZ-762 deserves more attention. Here is the best loadout for the underrated medium to long-range weapon.

As the meta has changed with each seasonal update in MW3, battle rifles have stayed as some of the best weapons in the game, offering both short-range and long-rage capabilities when using the right attachments.

A long-range dominant game has also opened the door for other weapons to excel. The MTZ 762 has emerged as one of the best battle rifles to use in the game.

You just need to know how to customize the gun to bring out its best features.

The MW3 meta mostly consists of AR’s, but BR’s are also just as capable.
