The best Longbow loadout and class setup in MW3 season 2

When it comes to the best Longbow loadout in Modern Warfare 3, it all comes down to preference and playstyle. And that’s what makes this sniper rifle so special.

One of the more customizable weapons in MW3 so far, the Longbow is a bolt-action sniper rifle powerful enough to hold its own as a quickscope machine just as easily as it is a long-distance devastator.

Here are the best attachments and loadout for the Longbow in MW3.

Best Longbow build in MW3

Quickscope fans, this is the loadout for you. The best Longbow loadout in MW3 is also one of its fastest, leaning into the sniper’s power by fixing up your loadout with faster Aim Down Sight Speed, Mobility, and Handling.

Best Longbow attachments in MW3

• Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
• Stock: Stockless
• Underbarrel: XTEN TX-12 Handstop
• Rear Grip: Citadel LV Tactical Grip
• Bolt: SA-M Quickbolt

The best way to combat MW3’s higher time-to-kill is to finish off your opponent in one shot. And with this quickscope build, you’ll be doing just that from a variety of distances. And with the default scope, you can sit back and pick enemies off from range if you want, too.

I have a lot of fun running around with this loadout, even though I’m not the best quickscoper in the world. If you have any modicum of quickscope skills, this will be a fantastic sniper for you. It’s a top build in season two of MW3.

This loadout turns the Longbow into a run-and-gun machine with a massive magazine, and we think it’s perfect for smaller maps like Rust or Highrise in MW3. It’s a fun alternative to the classic kind of sniper or quickscoper play style, and I’ve had a blast messing around with it.

It’s a safe two or three-shot kill after the nerf to the JAK Tyrant 762 Kit, and I still enjoy it quite a bit.

Best Longbow run and gun build in MW3

• Barrel: Tru-Tac Short Barrel
• Optic: Mk. 23 Reflector
• Stock: Stockless
• Underbarrel: XTEN TX-12 Handstop
• Magazine: 40 Round Mag

Fast Aim Down Sight Speed and Mobility are what this build is all about. You can post up with your Mk. 23 Reflector or sprint around the map with reckless abandon, picking off enemies at mid-range with one shot to the chest and higher with this powerful, fun build.

Have you ever seen a sniper with a 40 Round Mag that functioned more like a marksman rifle and looked like an AK-74u? Well, now you have. The Longbow is one of the most interesting weapons in MW3 thus far.

Best class setup for Longbow in MW3

• Vest: Infantry Vest
• Handgun: Renetti
• Tactical: Flash Grenade
• Lethal: Semtex

• Field Equipment: Trophy System

• Gloves: Commando Gloves
• Boots: Stalker Boots
• Gear: Tac Mask

With the longbow, speed is the name of the game. That’s why Commando Gloves and Stalker Boots are so crucial, and Tac Mask will prevent you from getting flashed or stunned.
