Best RAM-9 Loadout in MW3 Ranked Play Season 3

Could this be a replacement for the Rival-9?

A new update in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) has introduced fresh weapons to the Ranked pool for a brief testing period. One of the new usable submachine guns in MW3 Ranked Play is the RAM-9. Here’s the best RAM-9 loadout in MW3 Ranked Play.

Best RAM-9 Loadout in MW3 Ranked Play

The RAM-9 is a solid weapon at all ranges, but it does feature a little more recoil than you might want. As such, I’ve made sure my loadout for the SMG boosts its recoil to the point where you won’t have to do much in terms of aiming.

  • Muzzle: Purifier Muzzle Brake S
  • Stock: HVS 3.4 Pad
  • Comb: Recon Comb
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Rear Grip: Retort 90 Grip Tape

As I previously mentioned, this loadout is all about recoil control. The mobility for the RAM-9 is already so strong that even with equipping these attachments, you’ll still be able to have a fast aim down sights speed and sprint out time.

Most of the attachments either increase recoil control, gun kick control, or aiming stability in some way. Specifically, the Purifier Muzzle Brake S reduces horizontal recoil while the Recon Comb boosts stability but also adds some mobility as well. If you want extra accuracy, I suggest replacing the DR-6 Handstop with the XRK Bowbreaker Grip. You’ll want to keep the Retort 90 Grip Tape and HVS 3.4 Pad in place, though.
