Best AMR9 Loadout in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone

An SMG that can contend with the best.

There is nothing more synonymous than Call of Duty and SMGs. Throughout the years and across the franchise, they have always been the best weapons. MW3 and Warzone do little to change that, and so here we have a guide covering the best AMR9 loadout.

Best AMR9 Attachments

The AMR9 is a little lackluster compared to its other companions in the SMG category. Its damage range is worse than the Striker and its TTK is slower than the WSP Swarm, it doesn’t excel in any significant area. Due to this, it’s a jack-of-all-trades type weapon that can perform at all ranges but will be outperformed by masters of those engagements.

  • Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
  • Barrel: AMR9 Commando Pro Barrel
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Ammunition: 9MM Overpressured
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum

Keeping yourself off the minimap is extremely valuable strategically, allowing you to take shots at enemies without the entire lobby knowing your locations, plus it offers a boost in recoil control. For increased mobility, we use the DR-6 Handstop and AMR9 Commando Pro Barrel to sprint between buildings much easier.

The AMR9 needs more bite, so we use the 9MM Overpressured to takedown enemy operators quicker. Extra ammo to shred through the increased health in Warzone is a must.

Best AMR9 Perks

Here we will list our general perk package for Warzone, feel free to swap in other perks to your preference, but for those wanting a basic set that will do them good, then read on.

The best perks are as follows:

  • Perk 1: Sleight of Hand
  • Perk 2: Double Time
  • Perk 3: Tempered
  • Perk 4: High Alert

Since Warzone features double primary weapons, Sleight of Hand may just be the better option than swapping weapons, despite Gaz’s words. Reloading quicker cannot be underestimated in certain circumstances. Double Time is an absolute must-have in Warzone. We prefer Tempered in slot 3 as it gives us a 33% faster plating time, utilizes more efficient plates, and frees up some backpack space for grenades, flashes, or other gadgets.

As our last perk, we have High Alert, its valuable intel can save your life, and help with rotates and positions of enemy squads. Its value only increases as the game continues and you find yourself in the final circle.

Best AMR9 Attachments

The AMR9 is a devastating close-range weapon with the potential to blast through an entire lobby of enemy combatants in the right environment.

Its bouncy recoil is due to its extremely high fire rate, but fear not; the AMR9 is a controllable beast. Players with higher skill will find their shots and subsequent kills racking up quicker than most, and its mobility is parallel to the best SMGs, meaning you can traverse the map with blinding speed.

To make it the best it can be, there are a few attachments we need to fix onto the AMR9 to truly bring it to stardom.

The best attachments are as follows:

  • Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor
  • Barrel: Tectonic Herald Light
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Stock: DEMO LTS Stock
  • Magazine: 50 Round Mag

Starting with our suppressor, the Shadowstrike Suppressor is the perfect attachment to keep us hidden on the mini-map. Quick rotations and repositions are what separates the best from the good, and utilizing a silenced weapon is the easiest way to prove your skill.

The Tectonic Herald Light, VLK LZR 7MW, and DEMO LTS Stock increase this weapon’s handling and ADS without sacrificing too much accuracy.

Best AMR9 Perks

Modern Warfare 3’s interesting perk system has fans enamored with designing their best loadout. Perks have been redesigned to be pieces of body gear that all have abilities and bonus effects. From Gloves and Boots to Gear, you can now mix and match the correct perks for your class.

The AMR9 is an SMG, so we want to slip on gear that will bolster a sub-machine gun’s game plan. The best perks are as follows:

  • Vest: Infantry Vest
  • Gloves: Scavenger Gloves
  • Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Gear: EOD Padding

Starting our perks list we use the Infantry Vest for swifter rotations throughout the maps with fast Tac Sprint recharge and duration. Scavenger Gloves are the perfect pair to offset an SMG’s hunger for ammo. Thanks to these finger-warmers, we can nullify that disadvantage instantly. MW3’s version of Dead Silence is the Cover Sneakers that will allow you to run a full sprint across the map without anyone hearing you. The EOD Padding can be switched out for a Tac-Mask if more tactical equipment is being thrown since EOD protects against explosives.

That’s our best AMR9 loadout in Modern Warfare 3. Check out our other Call of Duty guides, news, and updates below, and keep it here at Twinfinite for all the latest developments around the series.
