Best MTZ Interceptor MW3 Loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks

This is the MTZ Interceptor loadout you want to be using in MW3 Season 3 to turn the meta marksman rifle into a weapon that is both mobile yet still deadly at long range.

The MTZ Interceptor is a fantastic marksman rifle that works wonders in both mid and long-range duels. It is most effective on big maps but can be surprisingly strong on small maps too if built to have fast handling and mobility.

Therefore this loadout looks to optimize these stats and turn this meta DMR into a primary that can dominate on both small, fast-paced maps and larger, slower-paced ones alike.

Here is the best MTZ Interceptor loadout to use in MW3 Season 3 to make the most out of this incredible precision weapon.

Best MTZ Interceptor MW3 loadout

Attachments

• Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor L
• Stock: MTZ Blackthorn Barrel
• Optic: Quarters Classic Reflex
• Barrel: DR-6 Handstop
• Rear Grip: MTZ Factory Rear Grip

Something that makes the MTZ Interceptor so good is that it has practically no recoil. Its relatively slow fire rate ensures this marksman rifle perfectly recenters between shots even if fired as fast as possible. This unique trait means that improving recoil control isn’t important at all, unlike almost every other weapon in MW3.

This allows you to stack attachments that play to the MTZ Interceptor’s strengths like the MTZ Blackthorn Barrel which massively boosts damage range. It’s a similar story with the MTZ Factory Rear Grip that improves Aiming Idle Sway and reduces Flinch when aimed in, both key stats for landing crucial headshots when under pressure.

Since the MTZ Interceptor is a fairly slow-handling weapon you’ll definitely want to use an attachment that improves this stat like the DR-6 Handstop. This is especially important in MW3 as the pacing of this year’s multiplayer is very fast and you’ll be left behind if caught using a sluggish weapon.

With the MTZ Interceptor being a precision weapon, it’s also a good idea to equip an optic with a clear reticle like the Quarter Classic Reflex to make landing headshots easier. Finally, the Shadowstrike Suppressor L keeps you from appearing on the enemy’s radar when firing which is great for remaining undetected and flanking with ease.

Best MTZ Interceptor class: Perks & equipment

• Vest: Assassin Vest
  • Immune to UAVs and enemy radar effects and kills don’t display skulls.
• Gloves: Marksman Gloves
  • Reduces sway and flinch while ADS.
• Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Eliminates footstep sounds.
• Gear: Bone Conduction Headset
  • Reduces player combat and environmental sounds to allow improved focus on hearing other footsteps.
• Lethal: Drill Charge
  • Charge with a thermal lance that can burrow into surfaces before exploding.
• Tactical: Scatter Mine
  • Throw a field of mines across a wide area that detonate when enemies come within range.

Don’t fall into the trap of always hanging back and camping with the MTZ Interceptor. This marksman rifle is surprisingly well suited to flanking, especially thanks to that instant one-shot kill with a headshot that assault rifles and SMGs can only dream of.

As such, it’s best to use perks that make flanking easier like Covert Sneakers and the Assassin Vest. These work particularly well with this loadout as the Shadowstrike Suppressor L stops shots from giving you away, and these two perks stop enemy UAVs and your footsteps from doing much the same.

Even if you intend to play more aggressively, landing shots is still a must and the Marksman Gloves make that much easier to do. When partnered with the MTZ Factory Rear Grip on this loadout, the only factor that decides if you get a kill or not is your own skill. No excuses people!

Finally, your equipment slots should be used on a Drill Charge to flush out enemies hiding in cover and a Scatter Mine to scout flanks and prevent opponents from getting the jump on you.
