BAS-B Battle Rifle in MW3

The BAS-B is a beastly Battle Rifle in MW3, especially with the right attachments. So, for those looking to take advantage of its power, here’s the best BAS-B loadout in Modern Warfare 3 Season 4.

Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 is well underway, and the BAS-B remains one of the top Battle Rifle choices in the game.

The BAS-B is a strong option for mid to long-range engagements and can be a great alternative to popular Assault Rifles, so here’s the best loadout for it in MW3, including the meta attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

Best MW3 BAS-B loadout attachments

  • Barrel: Short 8″ Bruen SZ-45 Barrel
  • Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop
  • Optic: Nydar Model 2023
  • Magazine: 45 Round Mag

To build the best BAS-B loadout in Modern Warfare 3, you’ll need the Short 8″ Bruen SZ-45 Barrel for extra mobility and recoil control.

The ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider improves the recoil control even more, while the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop balances the loss of mobility with an increase in aim walking, movement, ADS, and sprint-to-fire speeds.

As for the Optic, the Nydar Model 2023 is a favorite of mine, as it’s a nice clean sight you can use for all ranges. Lastly, the 45 Round Mag is just enough bullets to get the job done when taking on multiple enemies.
