Best Rival 9 Loadout and Class Setup in MW3

Look no further if you have been looking for the best attachments for your Rival 9 in MW3. This weapon in an SMG, even though it does not have a fantastic range, with its fire rate on smaller maps, is sure a force to be reckoned with.

I highly recommend this compact weapon if you love to rush into a room, pack your enemies with dozens of bullets, and leave just as fast as you came in, or if the Scorpion EVO was a must-have for you in the earlier titles. So, if you want to find out the best Rival 9 Loadout and Class Setup in MW3, keep reading to find out!

Best Rival 9 Loadout and Class Setup in MW3

Here is the best loadout for your Rival 9 in MW3. You will notice that I have chosen to sacrifice some handling for speed, but I have done so only to ensure you can destroy your enemies like a bat out of hell. But do not worry. You will be a natural in no time with just a bit of practice. 

Muzzle Monolithic Superior  This will help keep you off of the enemy radar. Moreover, this will also assist you with recoil control. 
Barrel Rival-38E Fire Starter Barrel This helps with all-around speed and makes up for ADS loss.
Stock Bruen Flash V4 Stock This helps boost ADS, sprint, and movement speed. 
Ammunition  5.45 High Grain This helps give you that extra bullet velocity and added range. Remember, this weapon is not one to be chosen if you are looking to snipe down your targets from far away. 
Magazine 40 Round Mag With such a great fire range, you will always need bullets on you, and this magazine does the job. Alternatively, you can also go for something heavier like the 50 or the 60 Round Drum, but then be prepared to lose your reload quickness and mobility. 

Best Secondary Weapon for Rival 9 Class Setup

The only thing you need now is a range. Still, you might even be wanting something that is not very different, so for such. I would go with an AR like the MCW(medium to long-range) or a handgun like the Renetti (which provides great backup support). 

Best Perks and Equipment for Rival 9 Class Setup 

Here are the best Perks and Equipment that I would suggest that you choose for your Rival 9 Class setup:

  • Infantry Vest: This adds to your run and gun and makes for a great tactical sprint, stance, and sliding choice. 
  • Scavenger Gloves: This will help fill up your ammo on the field. 
  • Lightweight boots/Covert Sneakers: This is a personal preference. If you want added mobility, go with the Lightweight boots; if you prefer stealth, go with the Covert sneakers. 
  • EOD Padding: Choose this to prevent explosive damage from the stray grenades.
  • Semtex: If you have cornered an enemy, basically the close-quarters fights, then this is the best option compared to its counterparts.
  • Battle Rage: This is the best choice for healing, and I would suggest you go for this as you will need a good enough amount.

That pretty much sums up everything there was to know about the Best Rival 9 Loadout and Class Setup in MW3.
