Achieve dominance with this best WSP Swarm loadout in MW3 Season 3 that includes the class setup, attachments, and perks you should be using on this meta-defining SMG.
The WSP Swarm is one of the best SMGs in MW3 due to its high rate and fast TTK at close range. In the right hands, it can take down multiple enemies using a single magazine making it a great choice for smaller maps.
This loadout looks to make the most of its strengths by maximizing the WSP Swarm’s mobility and handling while ensuring that it still stays competitive at medium range.

Attachments
- Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor
- Barrel: WSP Reckless-90 Long Barrel
- Optic: Quarters Classic Reflex
- Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
With the fast-paced gameplay of Modern Warfare 3, these attachments make the WSP Swarm extremely strong. This was true back in Season 1 and remains true even now in Season 3. New SMGs may have been added since but if you want an old-school run-and-gun submachine gun this is still as reliable as ever.
Looking to facilitate this very playstyle, the Shadowstrike Suppressor keeps the WSP Swarm’s shots silent keeping you off the minimap. This enables a flanking playstyle which is further enhanced by the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop, an underbarrel that greatly improves several key mobility and handling stats.
Two key weaknesses of the WSP Swarm are its small magazine and low range. The WSP Reckless-90 Long Barrel massively increases damage range making you more competitive from further away while the 40 Round Mag ensures you won’t have to reload as often while not affecting the SMG’s outstanding mobility.
This weapon’s iron sights can be difficult to use at times so it’s also best to equip a suitable close-range optic. Though there are several good options the Quarters Classic Reflex stands out due to its easy-to-use reticle and nostalgia bonus.
WSP Swarm MW3 loadout: Perks & Equipment
- Vest: Demolition Vest
- Gloves: Scavenger Gloves
- Boots: Covert Sneakers
- Gear: Ghost T/V Camo
- Lethal: Frag Grenade (x2)
- Tactical: Stun Grenade
The Demolition Vest is an ideal choice when running an SMG build as it resupplies Lethal and Tactical equipment every 25 seconds. You’ll be at a big advantage able to constantly resupply Frag Grenades and Stun Grenades, giving yourself more tools to blow up and immobilize enemies and swoop in for easy kills.

Scavenger Gloves resupply ammo from eliminated players which can be handy to survive longer and go on huge killstreaks. This may not come into play too often but when it does it’ll be the reason you were able to kill in a game-winning kill streak.
It’s also worth using both the Covert Sneakers boots and Ghost T/V Camo gear to block UAVs, enemy radar, and Heartbeat Sensor detections while remaining silent on the move. If you want to flank with any serious chance of success, both of these perks are a must.
How to unlock the WSP Swarm in Modern Warfare 3
You need to reach Level 27 to unlock the WSP Swarm SMG in Modern Warfare 3. This can be easily done by grinding up the levels in either multiplayer, Zombies, or even Warzone, as the battle royale mode is generous enough when it comes to granting XP.
Best WSP Swarm alternative in Modern Warfare 3
If you feel the WSP Swarm shoots a little too fast for your liking, the best alternative to this SMG would be the Rival-9. It’s extremely effective in close-range combat due to its explosive TTK and ease of use.
