The Striker’s big brother, the Striker 9, is a fantastic weapon for new and old players alike in Modern Warfare 3. Due to its ease of use, we wanted to find the best Striker 9 loadout so you can dominate in MW3 and Warzone.

Best Striker 9 Attachments
The Striker 9 suffers from the success of its big brother, the Striker, due to its subpar damage, lower fire rate, and all-around performance. However, that is not to say that the Striker 9 is a bad weapon, its accuracy is better than most SMGs and it inherits its range from the Striker. So it can put up a fight even in a Warzone environment.
The best attachments are as follows:
- Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
- Underbarrel: XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop
- Ammunition: 9MM Overpressured
- Optic: Slate Reflector
- Magazine: 40 Round Magazine
While the Striker 9’s range is above average for an SMG, it still has a shaky recoil that we want to remedy first. To do that we use the FTAC Castle Comp and the XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop for all the reduction in recoil and gun kick that you can want. For some extra damage and flinch power, we use the 9MM Overpressured ammunition to match other SMG’s firepower.
Last up, we use the Slate Reflector for a clean optic and the 40-round magazine as a must-have for Warzone’s health system.
Best Striker 9 Perks
Here we recommend perks for general Warzone as weapons do not gain as much value as they do in MW3. Feel free to swap out any perks with your preferences.
The best perks are as follows:
- Perk 1: Sleight of Hand
- Perk 2: Double Time
- Perk 3: Temepered
- Perk 4: High Alert
Sleight of Hand helps you to reload your weapons faster, sometimes this is far more viable than switching to your secondary as an enemy squad rushes your position. Double Time is a must-have for Warzone as the map contains many long sightlines that you need to cross as fast as possible. For some economic benefit, we use Tempered to get more mileage out of your armor plates and to the plate to full 33% quicker.
Finally, High Alert will save your life more times than you can count, and you will suddenly realize how many eyes are on your head during your average Warzone game.

Best Striker 9 Attachments
The Striker 9 is very much overshadowed by its little brother outperforming all SMGs, but the gun is by no means a bad weapon.
With a competitive TTK and reliable range, this weapon can perform extremely well in the chaotic environment of MW3’s multiplayer. Its impressively low recoil and ease of use is perfect for new players and veterans alike, so do not sleep on it. Plus, with some choice attachments, we can improve its strengths and shore up its weaknesses.
- Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor
- Underbarrel: Xten Phantom-5 Handstop
- Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip
- Optic: MK. 3 Reflector
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
The Shadowstrike Suppressor is an attachment that has zero weaknesses. It gives you no negatives whatsoever while offering the positive of removing you from the minimap like a usual suppressor. The Xten Phantom-5 Handstop increases the mobility and handling of the Striker 9 by a large margin, while the Sakin ZX Grip solidifies its accuracy and recoil control.
Finally, we have the MK. 3 Reflector as our favorite optic and the 40-round mag to ensure you are in the fight longer before you need to reload.
Best Striker 9 Perks
Modern Warfare 3 is the first time in a long while that the perk system has gotten any changes. Now we have pieces of body armor that grant unique bonuses just like perks. The Striker 9 is a fast-paced mobile SMG, so we want our Perks to reflect that.
The best Perks are as follows:
- Vest: Infantry Vest
- Gloves: Commando Gloves
- Boots: Covert Sneakers
- Gear: EOD Padding
The brand-new Commando Gloves are a godsend to fast-paced SMG players who never want to slow down. They give you the fantastic perk of reloading while sprinting, with this simple bonus you can outplay numerous players and escape dangerous situations. Combat Sneakers, meanwhile, remove the footstep audio (Dead Silence), allowing you to catch enemies off-guard as you full sprint your way into their spawn.
Finally, the EOD Gear will keep you safe from stray frag grenades and those pesky killstreaks raining hell-fire onto the battlefield.
