Why use the WSP-9 in MW3?

The WSP-9 makes up for its slowness with long range and high damage capabilities. Compared to the over-the-top fire rate of other SMG, it might seem like a somewhat disappointing weapon - but then again, in order to score a hit with many SMGs, you need to have your enemy right in your face. The WSP-9 allows for a more balanced approach, offering punchy damage from relative ranged safety that’ll be a boon in a wide variety of maps.

You can see how the WSP-9 holds up with other guns inour weapon stats guide, and we’ve also got a comprehensive breakdown ofevery SMG in Modern Warfare 3, with their associated pros and cons.

Best WSP-9 loadout in MW3

This WSP-9 loadout extends accuracy while also offering modest improvements to recoil control and handling. The goal is to take advantage of the fact that this weapon can fire decently from a farther range than most other SMGs, while also delivering that potent close-range punch to the gut that submachine guns are renowned for.

Barrel: WSP Infiltrator Integrated Supressor

Laser: VLK LZR 7MW

Underbarrel: Bruen Bastion Angled Grip

The BruenBastionAngled Grip offers even greater accuracy via improvements to hipfire and tac stance spread, aiming idle sway, firing aim stability, and aim walking steadiness. The only downside is a minor decrease in ADS speed. The FTAC SP-10 Angled Grip is another good underbarrel option if you’d rather center your loadout around minimising recoil.

Magazine: 32 Round Mag

Optic: Slate Reflector

Shooting the WSP-9 without an optic isn’t advised, since the gun’s going to rattle around a fair bit even with all of our loadout gear. The Slate Reflector will help tremendously with a clear sight picture. Optics are largely down to personal preference, however, so you should feel free to experiment to see which aiming dot you like best.

Best WSP-9 class setup: Secondary weapon

FJX Imperium.

While the WSP-9’s range might be better than most SMG, it’s still a submachine gun at the end of the day. If you’re running into range problems, try supplementing your arsenal with a Sniper Rifle for those moments when an enemy’s simply too far away. We like theFJX Imperium.

Best WSP-9 class setup: Perks and Equipment

Gunner Vest, Quick-Grip Gloves, Ghost T/V Camo, Stun Grenade, Frag Grenade, Munitions Box.

We recommend theGunner Vestfor the ability to equip another primary weapon like the FJX Imperium, as well as the nice bonus of always staying deployed with max ammo and improved reload speed. TheQuick-Grip Glovesare needed for quickly switching to your alternate weapon, and theGhost T/V Camowill mask your footsteps while moving.

For tactical and lethal equipment, theStun GrenadeandFrag Grenadeare our go-to choices for most loadouts. Since you’ll be blasting through ammunition pretty quickly with the WSP-9, take theMunitions Boxto always ensure that you won’t be left with an empty magazine for long.
