Best Assault Rifles – Meta Pre-Season / November 2023

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 launched not only with its story mode, but also with its highly anticipated multiplayer mode. We show you the 3 best assault rifles in the pre-season with setup.

How do we arrive at our assessment? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has only recently been fully available on the market and since no season specifies a meta, pre-season weapons dominate the battlefield for the time being.

The basic assessment comes from our own experts here on MeinMMO as well as CoD specialists on YouTube and from warzoneloadouts. We then tested these assessments in dozens of matches and finally came up with the top 3 assault rifles.

In addition, we celebrate our selection with our years of CoD expertise and also look at player trends. In addition, we also look at the playability of the weapons and whether they are easy to wield.

Meta in CoD: MW3 – The best assault rifles with setup

Is there currently an uber-weapon in MW3? The MCW is one of the deadliest rifles in the current MW3 meta. It fires like a laser and kills your opponents in just a few shots.

What are the best MW3 weapons? Low-recoil assault rifles are still the soldiers’ best choice in Modern Warfare 3.

With the right attachments, you can not only cover long distances, but also shoot opponents excellently in close combat. This makes these rifles the top choice of players.

Paired with a submachine gun or a rocket launcher for shooting down drones, no one can stop you and ensure that your team remains invisible.
