MW3 KV Inhibitor Loadout | The Best Attachments For Multiplayer

The KV Inhibitor is a great sniper that feels consistent and fast. You can find our favorite loadout for the weapon here.

The snipers in general are just very good this year, hence they are all at least in the A-tier for us in our tier-ranking of every gun in MW3. Because we're up against 150 base health, almost every type of gun now takes a couple of shots more to kill, whereas snipers take exactly the same amount of shots to kill as they did last year: one. This means you've got a longer window of time in which to make that shot before they kill you.

The KV Inhibitor is a solid sniper, it's semi-automatic and can one shot with most upper-torso shots. Sadly, you will still get some hit markers, but given the rate of fire it makes sense. With our attachments we like to increase damage range as much as possible to reduce those hit markers.

Note: We update our loadouts whenever a new MW3 patch affects the weapon or the relevant attachments.

We do take some handling penalties with these attachments, but you'll notice that we never specifically hurt the Aim Down Sight Speed. We've also been able to sacrifice the effectively useless stat "Tac Stance Spread" (you can't Tac Stance with the KV Inhibitor), and we've also lost some recoil control, but again that doesn't matter really because we're going for single shots and then moving anyway.

With the barrel and ammo we can increase the damage range as much as possible to reduce hitmarkers. And with the stock we can improve aiming stability to make sniping easier.

Sniping is massively on the comeback this year, both in multiplayer against 150 base health, and in Warzone where one-shot-headshots are rumored to return. We expect a better will sniper will emerge as the absolute meta, but the KV Inhibitor still feels like a competitive and enjoyable choice.
