The best RAM-7 loadout and class setup in MW3 season 3

It's a triumphant return.

The RAM-7 in Modern Warfare 3 is a returning weapon from Modern Warfare (2019) and the original Warzone, and it’s still quite good.

As the first new AR added in MW3, the RAM-7 set a strong precedent for seasonal guns. With each passing season, new weapons will be compared to the RAM-7 since it was one of the first additional guns in the game that players were chomping to unlock and level up.

Here is the best RAM-7 loadout in Call of Duty: MW3 so far.

Its in-game description calls the RAM-7 an “exceptionally compact bullpup assault rifle” that “sports a lightweight, polymer frame and is chambered in versatile 5.56” ammunition. It’s definitely a solid assault rifle in MW3, but without attachments, it struggles with its range.

We can fix that using some attachments in the Gunsmith, along with a class that will accentuate its strengths. Keeping that in mind, here’s the best build for the RAM-7.

Best RAM-7 build in MW3 multiplayer

  • Barrel: Cronen Headwind Long Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Kimura RYN-03 Vertical Grip
  • Ammunition: 5.56 NATO High Grain Rounds
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Retort 90 Grip Tape

The Cronen Headwind Long Barrel is a must because it adds a huge buff to the RAM-7’s Bullet Velocity and Range, meaning you’ll be able to deal more damage at further ranges than without it. I would definitely recommend using this on a traditional AR setup for the gun. The 5.56 NATO High Grain Rounds will also help its range. MW3

Elsewhere, the RAM-7’s recoil control can be an issue, especially at range, so I like to use the Kimura RYN-03 Vertical Grip and Retort 90 Grip Tape to help mitigate the gun’s kick as much as possible.

The RAM-7 is a pretty decent first new AR in MW3, but I like to use the 40 Round Mag for some added firepower and to finish off an extra enemy or two while using the AR in multiplayer. But if you find 30 enough, swap it out for your favorite Optic attachment.

A while after it released, the RAM-7 isn’t the king of multiplayer like it once was. But along with the RAM-9 SMG, it makes for a really solid option for having fun when playing with the squad online.

  • Vest: Infantry Vest
  • Handgun: Renetti
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Field Equipment: Trophy System
  • Gloves: Marksman Gloves
  • Boots: Stalker Boots
  • Gear: Tac Mask or EOD Padding

This is my favorite class setup for assault rifles in MW3, and the RAM-7 is no different. The Infantry Vest allows for a full suite of perks and equipment, such as the Renetti pistol, to pull out quickly to finish off a weakened enemy.

You can’t go wrong with the Stun Grenade or Semtex, and a Trophy System is great to lay down at your position that you’re holding while posting up and dealing damage to enemies at a distance and protecting yourself from incoming enemy lethals and tacticals.

For perks, Marksman Gloves are excellent to reduce flinch while enemies fire back, Stalker Boots help you strafe in gun fights, and I love the Tac Mask since everyone uses stuns and flashes these days.

With the above RAM-7 loadout, you’ll be able to stand toe-to-toe with any gun that may find its way onto the meta in MW3 and Warzone.
