What is the best Modern Warfare 3 battle rifle?
After testing the selection of battle rifles available in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, the best one to use is the BAS-B.
Armed with impressive damage output and plenty of versatility, it's an excellent weapon to use in most mid-range scenarios. If you manage to land your shots, you can even beat those using the hugely popular MCW.
Modern Warfare 3 battle rifle tier list
As there are only eight battle rifles available in Modern Warfare 3 during Pre-Season, the choice may seem limited. However, each possesses unique characteristics that suit all styles of play. Here's our full MW3 battle rifle tier list:
S tier
A tier
B Tier
C Tier
Leading the category at the early stage of the cycle is the BAS-B thanks to its strong versatility. Closely following it in A tier is the MTZ 762 which also packs a punch. However, its high recoil lets it down in those scenarios where accuracy makes all the difference.
There you have it, that's everything there is to know about the best Modern Warfare 3 battle rifle so far. Once Season 1 launches, we'll be sure to update the tier list with the rest of the weapons and see how they compare to the BAS-B and MTZ 762.
