Why use the Vaznev-9K in MW3?
As far as SMGs go, the Vaznev-9K is a great option due to its high damage output. However, to make the most out of the build as a primary weapon, we’ve paired it with a few attachments to boost the range, recoil stability and accuracy, turning it into a formidable weapon to wield in MW3.
Best Vaznev-9K loadout in MW3
The most important attachment that you should prioritise in this build, is theXTEN RR-40which will provide the usual sound suppression you’d expect from a silencer alongside a substantial increase in bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil. Additionally, it has few negatives compared to other silencers of its calibre.
The rest of our loadout prioritises accuracy and recoil control. TheSZ 1MW PEQboosts aiming stability without any negatives, making it an obvious pick to make the Vaznev-9K a little more accurate.
TheFT Tac-Elite Stockincreases recoil control, while only lowering ADS speed and crouch movement speed. Whilst this may make the Vaznev-9K loadout feel a little heavier, the extra control is a worthy compromise. For additional control, we have chosen theDemo-X2 Grip. Although it does create a negative impact on our aiming stability, the loss is slim when in a match.
We also recommend using the45 Round Magto give yourself more shots to use when aiming to drop down enemies and to utilise the asses control and accuracy of the build.
Best Vaznev-9K class setup: Secondary weapon
FJX Imperium.
Whilst the Vaznev-9K excels with medium to short-range encounters, even more so with this loadout, it still suffers when challenged with anything long-range. If you’re looking to cover all ground, we suggest opting for one of thebest sniper rifles in Modern Warfare 3, theFJX Imperium. The FJX Imperium excels at quick scoping, mobility, and handling manoeuvrability and still offers a consistent damage output, capable of one-shot kills. If you’re looking to kit out your build with a long-range weapon, you can’t get much better than the FJX Imperium.
Best Vaznev-9K class setup: Perks and Equipment
Overkill Vest, Marksman Gloves, Ghost T/V Camo, Stalker Boots, Battle Rage, Frag Grenade.
For this build, we recommend equipping theOverkill Vestwhich will allow you to set an additional primary weapon to your loadout like the GunnerVest. Unlike the Gunner, however, you will get the ability to reload whilst sprinting, will not lose thebootsslot (in return for the field equipment slot) and you’ll have increased weapon swap speed between your close and long-range options. We recommend choosing a sniper rifle or anything long-range to single out enemies, whilst you finish them off with the Vaznev-9K. Pair this with theMarksman Glovesand you’ll also get reduced sway and flinch while ADS.
For this build, we recommend choosing theBattle RageTacticalperk, this will give you an adrenaline rush and minor health regen. As you get close to the fray this can mean life or death and provide a helpful boost. Additionally, we’ve chosen theFrag Grenade, aLethalstaple in any Call of Duty game and a worthy tool to help you buy time in close combat and sticky situations.

Best Vaznev-9K alternatives in Modern Warfare 3
Lockwood 300, Striker.
Whilst the Vaznev-9K is a solid choice of SMG if you’re looking for something even more suited for short-range bursts of damage, it may be worth switching to ashotgun, like theLockwood 300. TheLockwood 300is a force to be reckoned with, especially when combined with the Maelstrom Dual Trigger attachment which enables the gun to fire both shells at once. This creates a devastating impact when used in close combat, the flipside being of course, that it is not at all suited for mid-long ranges.
If you would like to keep an SMG as your primary weapon of choice, theStrikeris a great option for damage output and is surprisingly mobile when paired with the right attachments.
