Best Modern Warfare 3 Tempus Torrent attachments

One of the best ways to increase your chosen weapon's effectiveness in Modern Warfare 3 is to utilise the gunsmith. Labelled as a "remix for weapons," it's an intuitive way to customise your guns and drastically change the way they can be used. After testing all kinds of combinations, this set of five suits the Tempus Torrent perfectly:

• Barrel: 24" Outreach 4
• Optic: Slimline Pro
• Stock: Demo Precision Elite Factory
• Underbarrel: FTAC MSP-98 Handstop
• Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip

The 24" Outreach 4 barrel minimises any damage drop-off thanks to improvements in damage range and bullet velocity, allowing you to dominate mid-range and long-distance fights with the best Tempus Torrent loadout.

To tame the high kick generated by the rifle's immense power, the trio of the Demo Precision Elite Factory, FTAC MSP-98 Handstop, and Sakin ZX Grip bring recoil down to more manageable levels making all the difference when using the Tempus Torrent at range.

Best Modern Warfare 3 Tempus Torrent perks and equipment

We already have a fair bit of information on both perks and equipment on Modern Warfare 3, so we've listed our choicest picks to pair with the Tempus Torrent below.

Perks

• Vest: CCT Comms Vest
• Gloves: Marksman
• Boots: Stalker
• Gear: Threat Identification System

We've paired the CCT Comms Vest with the Tempus Torrent, since it increases the duration that enemies remain on radar, meaning you've got some extra eyes to pinpoint your marks. We also recommend equipping the Marksman gloves with the Tempus Torrent, a choice that speaks for itself since they reduce sway and flinch while in ADS.

We'd also recommend the Stalker boots, as you'll gain faster strafing and ADS speed, something that pairs well with a mid to long-range weapon along with the Marksman gloves. For equipment, our choice would be the Threat Identification System, which pings enemy locations while ADSing for added intel.

Equipment

• Lethal: Suppression Mine
• Tactical: Tactical Camera

If you've got a choice perch where you're sniping enemies from above, then deploying a Suppression Mine on the choke point or doorway to your location is a surefire to cover your own back.

We'd also recommend pairing the Tactical Camera with the Tempus Torrent, as it can highlight enemies and make it that much easier to score a one-shot kill on them as they approach or try to escape your hellfire.

Is the Tempus Torrent meta?

There's a chance that the Tempus Torrent could slot quite nicely into the meta of Modern Warfare 3, given its high damage output and mid to long-range abilities. It could be a good choice for both new players and veterans of the shooter series, but there might still be stronger options out there. Once we get to play with the Tempus Torrent in MW3 we'll be updating this guide with our best picks for it.
