The best Vaznev-9K loadout in MW2

By

When it comes to dominating the playing field in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, you’ll need to come equipped with an SMG, especially on smaller 6v6 maps. While there are a lot of decent options, the best choice is currently the Vaznev-9K.

Sure, there are other great SMGs like the Lachmann Sub, but when it comes to sheer power, the Vaznev-9K is at the top of its class. Of course, with so many attachments available, it’s tricky to build weapons in the most efficient way possible. In this guide, we’ll show you the best Vaznev-9K loadout in Modern Warfare II.

Vaznev-9K overview

Before diving into the loadout itself, let’s first take a look at just how the Vaznev-9K functions so you know how to use it effectively. For starters, this is an SMG, so you’ll want to stick to close or midrange battles. The Vaznev excels in many ways, but its greatest asset is the weapon’s potential. When compared to the Lachmann Sub — which is one of the most competitive SMGs in the game — the Vaznev has a faster time to kill (TTK). The Vaznev also performs well at midrange, making it versatile, especially when compared to other SMGs. It also has a relatively fast fire rate, giving it plenty of strengths with almost no downsides.

There are lots of ways to build the Vaznev-9K, but we recommend prioritizing speed, mobility, and recoil control, which allows you to excel at close to midrange.

First, start off with the Lockshot KT85 Muzzle for improved horizontal and vertical recoil control. This won’t keep you from appearing on the minimap, but in Modern Warfare II, silencers aren’t as useful anyway. Then, it’s best to use the 45 Round Mag, giving you plenty of ammo to take down multiple foes. You don’t want to get caught reloading when battling back-to-back enemies.

Next, we recommend the FSS OLE-V Laser, which boosts your aim down sights (ADS) speed, aiming stability, and sprint-to-fire time. This makes up for the sluggishness of the Lockshot Muzzle.

Follow that up with the Otrezat Stock for improved walking movement speed and sprinting speed, allowing you to move around quickly. Finally, use the True-TAC Grip Rear Grip, which improves your sprint-to-fire time and ADS speed.

Is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 cross-platform?
Soldiers battle in an abandoned airport.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the latest addition to the award-winning franchise that most of us have been playing for well over a decade. Beyond the enhanced graphics, refined mechanics, and new gameplay features, one of the biggest draws to the COD world has always been online multiplayer. Not only does multiplayer return for MW3, but there’s more to love about the competitive space than ever before. 

But not everyone owns the same version of Call of Duty. Some of us are playing on our next-gen consoles, while others are rocking gaming PCs. So what does this mean when it comes time to join others online? Does MW3 support cross-platform gameplay? The answer is a bit more complex, but here’s all the facts.

The best weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

To the layman, every gun in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 probably seems the same. They all shoot bullets, right? In reality, that couldn't be further from the truth. Even when you take player skill out of the equation, each gun has vastly different stats and applications that make some, even within their own category, just plain better choices for everyone. Each gun is broken down into various stats, including recoil, ADS speed, damage, and much more, which makes it hard to easily compare them. When you factor in just how many guns are available as you level up and keep unlocking more, the prospect of picking the best ones becomes overwhelming. If you're trying to build the ideal loadout to dominate the current meta, these are the best weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for each weapon type.

We will detail the top picks per each class, and then list the rest in terms of how they rank.

Best Perk-a-Colas in Modern Warfare 3 zombies, ranked
A lineup of perk sodas from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Ever since perks were introduced to the series, they've been a staple in every game mode in Call of Duty. For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, you can obviously pick your perks during multiplayer, but not so in Zombies. This mode has always made perks work slightly differently, using different names, but similar mechanics. This time around, the Perk-a-Colas have returned, and these cans of refreshing soda just so happen to give your character a massive improvement. You can grab one from a vending machine on the map in exchange for your points, but they don't come cheap. Since these perks last you the rest of the match (or until used for some of them), you will want to choose your flavor wisely. These are all nine Perk-a-Colas in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ranked from best to worst.

It is important to note that the location where each perk machine spawns on the new Zombies map is random for every match. There's no way to know where any specific perk will be, but you can see where perk machines spawn on your map as indicated by a downward pointing arrow.
