Best Sidewinder loadout and build in MW3

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Battle Rifles are considered heavier, harder-hitting guns when compared to Assault Rifles. The Sidewinder is one of the few weapons from this class in MW3; if you're looking to try it out, here's the best loadout you can use.

Best Sidewinder loadout attachments Modern Warfare 3

• Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
• Barrel: Tempus Predator Precision Barrel
• Optic: Slate Reflector
• Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
• Magazine: 30 Round Drum

The Sidewinder Battle Rifle features a high damage output but comes with a very slow fire rate and poor accuracy. Therefore, with the attachments used in this build, I've tried to bring down the gun's recoil for improved controllability. If you're still having trouble hitting shots, I suggest you use the gun in single-fire rather than full-auto mode.

The muzzle, barrel, and underbarrel attachments used in this Sidewinder loadout significantly improve the recoil control. On top of that, the barrel also enhances the gun's bullet velocity allowing your bullets to hit the target faster. I've then used the 30 Round Drum because the standard magazine has only 20 bullets.

Finally, use an optic of your choice to complete the Sidewinder build. If you want even better recoil at the cost of mobility, you can swap the optic attachment for the RB Regal Heavy Stock. While I don't think the Sidewinder is among the best weapons in the game, this loadout can be very useful for completing camo challenges.
