Why use the WSP Swarm in MW3?
Use this gun if you want to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. The WSP Swarm is a lightweight, easy-to-use SMG that’s great for sprinting around a map and dropping off rooftops to deliver a fast string right in the back of an enemy’s head. It bounces and weaves like a bee too, but if you’re the type to take recoil in favor of a punchy weapon that never lets up, the WSP Swarm’s miraculous fire rate might be up your alley. If you’re interested in comparing the WSP Swarm to the other weapons in MW3, see our extensive rundown ofModern Warfare 3’s weapon stats.
Best WSP Swarm loadout in MW3
Muzzle: Purifier Muzzle Brake S
The Purifier Muzzle Brake S is all about creating a more stable firearm, and that’s why we like it. Horizontal recoil and firing aim stability improve with this attachment while bullet velocity and range take a minor hit.
Stock: FSS Fortress Heavy Stock
Underbarrel: FTAC SP-10 Angled Grip
Guess what this underbarrel is good for? That’s right, more recoil control - namely horizontal recoil and aiming idle sway. Our accuracy will also bump up, which is always great with an SMG since you’re bound to be wasting a few bullets here and there with a run-and-gun playstyle.
Magazine: 100 Round Drum
The WSP Swarm’s fire rate is so stupendous, why not make the most of it? Slap a 100 Round Drum on this hive of a gun and let your bees go wild. If you’d rather not take the hit to speed, you could go with a more conservative choice like a 40 or 50 Round Mag, but we think this is one instance where quantity is better.
Rear Grip: Marauder Grip
Best WSP Swarm class setup: Secondary weapon
MCW or KV Inhibitor.
You’ll find that opponents can quickly dance out of range when you’re rocking the WSP Swarm. Like all SMG, this is a gun to use when you’re closing in on someone, and to level the playing field during a faraway firefight, we recomend a reliable AR like theMCWor a Sniper Rifle like theKV Inhibitor. TheLongbowis also a wonderful choice for sniping, but its bolt-action nature is a far cry from the fast WSP Swarm. We’d recommend the KV Inhibitor first, especially if you aren’t versed in Sniper Rifles.
Best WSP Swarm class setup: Perks and Equipment
Overkill Vest, Scavenger Gloves, Covert Sneakers, Ghost T/V Camo, Frag Grenade, Battle Rage.
TheOverkill Vestwill let you carry two primary weapons at once, a necessity since the WSP Swarm’s range isn’t the hottest. TheGunner Vesttechnically does the same thing, but in this instance we prefer Overkill for the ability to reload while sprinting. TheScavenger Glovesare a handy pick for grabbing ammo off dead opponents, while theLightweight Bootswill give you another great speed boost to stay untaggable across the map. Since you’ll be running around a lot, we’ve pickedGhost T/V Camoto mask the sound of footsteps from the enemy and keep you off their radars.
For tactical and lethal equipment, go with aFrag Grenadefor those moments when you can’t switch to your secondary quickly enough and need an explosion to throw a foe off their feet.Battle Ragewill also be a necessity for those moments when you’ll be taking heavy fire from an opponent in retaliation for your SMG shots.
Best WSP Swarm alternatives in Modern Warfare 3
Lachmann Sub or Striker.
Both theLachmann Suband theStrikerare our favourite SMG picks in Modern Warfare 3 at the moment, balancing a more realistic rate of fire than the WSP Swarm with superior recoil control and handling. It’s worth experimenting with both to see which you like better, and thanks to the Overkill Vest, you can even go with two SMG if you’re feeling particularly bold - or reckless.
