Why use the MTZ Interceptor in MW3?
Best MTZ Interceptor loadout in MW3
Our choices here pump up the MTZ Interceptor’s power and mobility while lessening its recoil. Our goal is to tear opponents to shreds primarily in mid-range while never slowing down, but we’ll also be decently capable from distances further away.
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: MTZ Clinch Pro Barrel
We’ve gone with the MTZ Clinch Pro Barrel for a massive boost to bullet velocity and range, along with aiming idle sway. You’ll also get some firing aim stability when equipping this, while the downside is a loss to hipfire and tac stance spread. The MTZ Drifter Barrel is another good choice for bumping up range and bullet velocity.
Stock: FTAC Heavy Hunter Stock
It might have “heavy” in the name, but the FTAC Heavy Hunter Stock is here to lighten your load and help you stay mobile with the MTZ Interceptor. You’ll get all-around boosts to movement speed, sprint speed, and aim walking speed with this stock. They’re small boosts, but they add up.
Magazine: 20 Round Mag
You’ll likely want an ammo increase with this gun, and while the 20 Round MAG slows your ADS, the trade-off for not having to reload as much in the middle of a firefight is worth it. If you don’t mind the MTZ Interceptor’s 10 Round limit, feel free to choose an optic like the Slate Reflector to help with aiming from afar.
Rear Grip: Bruen TR-24 Assault
There’s some considerable kick whenever you fire the MTZ Interceptor, so we’ve added the Bruen TR-24 Assault Grip to counteract it. Expect solid improvements to firing aim stability, gun kick control, and recoil control.
Best MTZ Interceptor class setup: Secondary weapon
WSP Stinger.
Best MTZ Interceptor class setup: Perks and Equipment
Infantry Vest, Covert Sneakers, Quick-Grip Gloves, Ghost T/V Camo, Frag Grenade, Munitions Box.
For our class setup, we’ve gone with theInfantry Vestfor a tactical sprint buff and theCovert Sneakersfor stealthy sniper-esque movement. TheQuick-Grip Gloveswill let us switch to our WSP Stinger in a pinch, and we’ve also taken theGhost T/V Camoto amp the stealth factor up even higher.
When you’re running up against a particularly annoying cluster of opponents that you just don’t have time to shoot, there’s nothing like a goodFrag Grenadeto send them scattering. And last but certainly not least is theMunitions Box, which is included to ensure that we never run out of ammunition.
Best MTZ Interceptor alternatives in Modern Warfare 3
MCW 6.8, Crossbow, BAS-B, KV Inhibitor, Longbow.
There are a few options here depending on which direction you want to go in. If you’d like to compare the MTZ Interceptor to our other top Marksman Rifle, give the MCW 6.8 a peek. You can also step out of the in-between zone that Marksman Rifles inhabit between Battle Rifles and Sniper Rifles. TheBAS-Bis our Battle Rifle of choice, while choosing between the snipingKV Inhibitoror theLongbowis largely a matter of personal preference.
