When it comes to the medium-to-long-range meta inModern Warfare 3andWarzone, Assault Rifles, and Light Machine Guns seem to be the top pick. Though Assault Rifles are by far the more popular choice due to their higher levels of handling and mobility, some guns from the LMG category are also great considerations. One of these Light Machine Guns is theDG-58 LSW.

Even with the Mag Holster Perk, the reload speed of the DG-58 LSW can sometimes be a lot slower than we would like it to be. With that being the case, make sure to make use of a Handgun in Core Multiplayer, to switch to when needed. Some of our recommendations includetheWSP Stinger,theTYR, andtheRenetti.

For your Warzone loadout, we have two suggestions. The first is to stick with one of the aforementioned Handguns. The second is to take a Submachine Gun to switch to for close-quarters combat. Those of you deciding to run with an SMG will greatly benefit from usingtheWSP Swarm,theRival-9, ortheStriker.
