Buffed MW3 SMG is \u201cbetter than ever\u201d in Warzone but it\u2019s still ignored ActivisionThere is a Modern Warfare 3 SMG that is \u201cbetter than ever\u201d in Warzone after it\u2019s received some buffs, but some players are still ignoring it. While several guns from Modern Warfare 2 have been highlighted as competitive options recently, it\u2019s the fresher weapons from Modern Warfare 3 that still rule the roost in Warzone. Well, that is until the Season 4 Reloaded update comes along anyway, as that could shake things up in a big way. Even though MW3 guns have been taking over the meta, there are still a few powerful options that are being overlooked. One of those, according to Warzone guru WhosImmortal, is the Rival-9, which has received a number of buffs across the last few updates. The YouTuber highlighted the SMG in his June 22 video, believing it to be \u201cbetter than ever\u201d in the battle royale. \u201cIt\u2019s sort of been a sleeper build in the background. It was able to compete a little bit but it wasn\u2019t anything all that crazy. Well, in its current state, it\u2019s better than it has ever been,\u201d he said, noting that the SMG is competitive in the first SMG damage range \u2013 up to 12 meters. Yet, it shines when you get into fights around the 20-metre mark. \u201cThis thing is primed for sniper support and it\u2019s just a more versatile SMG (than its rivals).\u201d Barrel: Rival-C Clearshot barrel – Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop – Optic: Nydar Model 2023 – Magazine: 50-round drum – Ammunition: 9mm High Grain rounds – WhosImmortal added that the SMG is a very \u201cviable\u201d option in-game right now, however, players are still very much overlooking it. As per WZRanked stats, the Rival-9 clocks in as the 44th most popular gun in the game, lagging behind some MW2 options as well. Yet, it is very clearly a top option that punches above its weight if you follow the YouTuber\u2019s loadout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
