Modern Warfare 3 has finally dropped, bringing a remarkably short Campaign, exciting new open-world Zombies, and a nostalgic Multiplayer experience. Those of you jumping in for the first time may be trying out the game’s long line of weapons in Multiplayer, but picking your go-to can be difficult with all the available options. When it comes to the Assault Rifle category, however, you may be pleasantly surprised when choosing the Holger 556.
The Holger 556 is an Assault Rifle unlocked upon reaching Level 37 in Modern Warfare 3. This nifty weapon sports a fairly high amount of handling, moderate accuracy, and recoil control, along with one of the highest levels of damage per shot. This weapon also provides exceptional range, and it can only be made better with the right attachments and loadout.

This year’s Perk system takes the form of wearable gear. This part of your loadout is completely down to personal preference, but we do have some recommendations nevertheless. First, try the Infantry Vest for increased Tactical Sprint duration and reduced refresh, thus making up for the loss in mobility. Next, try the Scavenger Gloves to resupply ammunition from dead operators. Lightweight Boots further boost mobility, but make sure to finish off with Mag Holder for faster reload speeds.
Recommended Secondary
For Modern Warfare 3’s Core Multiplayer, the Holger 556 should serve you just fine. Therefore, in order to counter the skies and keep enemy killstreaks off your back, consider taking a launcher. The PILA and the JOKR are your two best choices here, as both have lock-on abilities.
