Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 3: Optical Weapon Attachments

To improve your skills and weapons in Modern Warfare 3, you need some weapon attachments. To help you out, here is a list of weapon attachments, where they should be used and what they can do:

Optics

Iron Sights

• Can be used on assault rifles, LMGs, machine pistols, shotguns, SMGs
• Default sight for any weapon
• Will take experimentation to discover which are difficult or easy to use

Red Dot Sight/Holographic Sight

• Can be used on assault rifles, LMGs, machine pistols, shotguns, SMGs
• Very simple; choose either single red dot or custom red sight

ACOG Sight

• Can be used on assault rifles, LMGs, SMGs, sniper rifles
• Provides extra zoom when targeting
• At medium range, assault rifles and LMGs best benefit
• Sniper rifles with faster firing mechanisms work well with ACOG
• SMGs will not do well at medium range

Hybrid Sight

• Can be used on assault rifles
• Combines benefits of Red Dot and ACOG
• Slightly lower ADS
