MW3’s #1 Ranked player Havok reveals best weapon loadouts: Rival-9, MCW & more

Ranked Play in Modern Warfare 3 can prove challenging to climb up the ranks and skill divisions, especially with the ever-changing weapon meta. So here’s all the best loadouts from the number one Ranked player in MW3, former pro player Havok.

Colt ‘Havok’ McLendon was unable to secure a spot on a MW3 Call of Duty League roster for this season. However, the pro player has stuck to CoD and has instead been grinding Ranked Play.

On January 27, the renowned slayer announced he had achieved the number one spot in MW3 Ranked with an SR score of over 18,000. This was a remarkable 2,000 points more than the player in second place, at the time of writing.
