Best SO-14 loadout for Modern Warfare 3 Season 4
ActivisionDespite being an MW2 weapon, the SO-14 can be a great Battle Rifle at mid to long ranges in MW3 boasting a ton of damage, low recoil, and rapid fire rate.
Here’s the best SO-14 loadout including all the attachments, Perks, and Equipment to make the most out of the gun.
Best MW3 SO-14 loadout attachments
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
- Barrel: 18″ T300 Barrel
- Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
- Stock: SO R55 Adaptor
- Magazine: 25 Round Mag
We kick off with the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor Muzzle and 18″ T300 Barrel combo which improves the weapon’s bullet velocity, range, and recoil control, allowing you to stay on target, especially in fully automatic mode.
The SO R55 Adaptor will boost the SO-14’s mobility, including the sprint, and sprint-to-fire, preventing you from being an easy target for enemies. To improve the weapon’s sight, I picked my favorite Optic, the JAK Glassless, allowing me to spot enemies from afar easily.
Lastly, we’ve gone with the 25 Round Mag to maximize the ammo capacity, allowing you to kill several enemies with just one magazine.
Best Perks & Equipment
- Vest: Infantry Vest
- Gloves: Commando Gloves
- Boots: Covert Sneakers
- Gear: Ghost T/V Camo
- Tactical: Stun Grenade
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Field Upgrade: Dead Silence
We recommend the Infantry Vest to enhance your Tactical Sprint along with the Commando Gloves to reload while sprinting, significantly boosting your mobility with the Battle Rifle.
Then, the Covert Sneakers function like Dead Silence, concealing your footsteps from enemies. Pair this with Ghost T/V Camo to be undetected when a UAV is active.
For Equipment, the Stun Grenade and Frag Grenade is a classic and effective combination. As for the Field Upgrade, you can’t go wrong with Dead Silence for added mobility and stealth.
How to unlock the SO-14
The SO-14 is unlocked at Level 4, although players will have to level up the EBR-14 Marksman Rifle to Level 12 in order to use and rank it up.
Best SO-14 alternatives
The SO-14 is a powerful Battle Rifle, but if you’re looking for a semi-automatic alternative, the TAQ-V is a great weapon to use instead. Or, if you’re looking for something faster, the Sidewinder is still a solid choice.
To make the most of this powerful weapon, be sure you’re using the best controller, FOV, and audio settings which will allow you to easily locate enemies at long ranges and get as many kills as possible.
