Best Modern Warfare 3 Chimera attachments

After testing various attachment combinations, we've settled on this set of five that are perfect for close-quarters and mid-range engagements:

• Muzzle: STER45 Skyfury Compensator
• Barrel: 10" SA Phoenix
• Optic: Slate Reflector
• Underbarrel: FTAC MSP-98 Handstop
• Rear Grip: D37 Grip

For maximum accuracy, the trio of the STER45 Skyfury Compensator, FTAC MSP-98 Handsto and the D37 Grip drastically reduce the recoil, making the Chimera much easier to handle in the heat of battle.

For improvements to damage range and bullet velocity, the 10" SA Phoenix barrel comes into its own thanks to its increase in range guaranteeing a fast time to kill at longer distances.

Last and by no means least is the Slate Reflector optic which provides a crystal-clear view of the target.

Best Modern Warfare 3 Chimera perks and equipment

Perks

• Vest: Gunner
• Gloves: Scavenger
• Boots: Climbing
• Gear: Mag Holster

Using the Gunner vest, you are able to get maximum ammo along with faster reload speed. With the Scavenger gloves, you can also resupply by picking up ammo from other fallen soldiers. With this combination, you can be sure that you won't run out of ammo any time soon.

By wearing climbing boots, you can get faster climbing speed so you can get over obstacles and get a better grab on the battlefield.

Finally, your Mag Holster will further increase the speed at which you reload. Together with the Gunner vest, this also allows you to reduce killstreak cost by one kill or, alternatively, reduce the scorestreak cost by 125.

Equipment

Lethal: Breacher Drone

Tactical: Battle Rage

Overall, by bringing the drone with you, you can get one kill without having to get close to the enemy. This is a great way to get out of a difficult situation and either go back behind cover or rejoin your team, if you got separated. Additionally, Battle Rage is the best option for tactical equipment as it allows you to regenerate health quickly and have a clearer tactical vision.
