Why use the BAS-P in MW3?

When paired with the right attachments, the BAS-P can be extremely effective at mid to long-range distances. This BAS-P loadout looks to capitalise on the already substantial accuracy and improve it further, whilst also increasing bullet velocity and damage range.

Best BAS-P loadout in MW3

To make the BAS-P excel at those mid-range distances, we’ve opted for the10.5" Bruen Typhonattachment, which adds bullet velocity and damage. It also adds sound suppression, making the BAS-P nice and quiet.

To make the BAS-P more accurate from a distance, we’ve also chosen theFSS Sharkfin 90, which increases aiming stability without adding any negatives. As such, you can usually rely on the Sharkfin to add more precision without detracting from other stats.

For another boost to your medium-range proficiency, equip theD37 Grip, this offers a decent increase to recoil control. Although this will slightly affect aiming stability, the build has been strengthened to a point where it can take a little knockback in return.

The final attachment in this BAS-P loadout is the50 Round Drum, which supplies extra bullets, up from the standard 30 making the need to reload less of an inconvenience.

Best BAS-P class setup: Secondary weapon

FJX Imperium.

Whilst the BAS-P is best used at medium-range distances, we recommend using one of thebest sniper riflesin Modern Warfare 3, theFJX Imperiumas a solid secondary option.

TheFJX Imperiumis a quickscope sniper with fantastic handling and mobility stats, making swapping between weapons smooth and consistent when sourcing out those one-shot kills.

Overkill Vest, Covert Sneakers, Ordnance Gloves, Frag Grenade, Scatter Mine, Ghost T/V Camo.

To equip two primary weapons and get a nifty sniper rifle in your loadout, you’ll need to pick from the Overkill and GunnerVests. We recommend theOverkill Vestin this case, as it essentially gives you the Overkill and Fast Hands perks fromCall Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, meaning you’ll have increased weapon swap speed as well as the ability to reload while sprinting.

You can capitalise on this, with theCovert Sneakerswhich will eliminate your footsteps and make it slightly easier for you to progress from mid to long-range combat as you scope enemies out and finish them off with the BAS-P. Forgloves, we recommend theOrdnance Gloveswhich, when combined with a throwable like theFrag Grenade, means you’ll be able to throwTacticalandLethalequipment further and reset fuse timers on thrown back grenades. Ultimately, this means you can utilise an otherwise close-combat perk for a mid to long-range build successfully and get more out of your equipment in the process.

Some of the best assault rifles in Modern Warfare 3 like theM4andSTB 556offer powerful damage outputs at mid to long-range distances (when paired with the best attachments), with great accuracy and all-round effectiveness in combat.

If you’d rather optimise for a close combat build, using a superb SMG like theFSS Hurricaneis a solid option. The gun is powerful and has a surprising amount of recoil control for an SMG, making it a good all-rounder.
