In MW3 Zombies, weapons are essential to fight against zombies, especially if you want to complete contracts. Here are the best weapons to use to survive in the high-threat tier zone in every match.
Best guns to use in MW3 Zombies
There are a few weapons that stand out in MW3 Zombies, but remember, maneuvering around enemies is key to surviving in any match in this game mode. You’ll often find most players having no weapons in their inventory, which is because running without a gun allows the operator to sprint faster.
I prefer to have at least one weapon in my inventory so my operator can switch to the secondary slot and run at full speed with no gun in hand. After experimenting with most of the guns, here’s a list of the best five weapons you can use in MW3 Zombies.
SVA 545
The SVA 545 is an assault rifle that unlocks at Level 4, and it is one of the best choices in MW3 for several reasons. After leveling up this gun, you’re able to equip a larger magazine to have more ammunition while fighting zombie. I use attachments like the STV Precision Barrel for range and damage, as well as the 50 Round magazine. If you are having trouble building a loadout, check out our class setup for theSVA 545.
Holger 556
TheHolger 556is an assault rifle thatcan be unlocked after reaching Level 25. The Armory Unlock method allows players to get their favorite guns first by completing a few daily challenges. I like to use this in zombies since it deals great damage with every shot, and the recoil pattern is easy to memorize.
AMR9
Players looking to use fast-firing weapons would love theAMR9SMG that unlocks at Level 4. This is a powerful SMG that you can modify with the proper attachments. For instance, I prefer to use a Barrel to stabilize recoil and a Magazine attachment to increase clip size. Get close to the enemies with this weapon to fire at enemies, and reposition quickly before the magazine runs out.
Holger 26
If you are an old-school zombie hunter, then there is no better weapon to use than a powerful LMG like theHolger 26. You can get this weapon through Level 25 Armory Unlock. I recommend equipping the 100-Round magazine as it is exceptional against hordes of enemies. Get the Pack-A-Punch upgrades on this weapon to further increase magazine size and damage.
WSP Swarm
TheWSP Swarmis a brilliant SMG that you can get through Armory Unlock system after reaching Level 25. I recommend getting a Pack-A-Punch upgrade on this weapon as soon as possible since the damage output is lower than assault rifles. Some of the attachments I use with this weapon are the 100 Round Drum to increase magazine size, and the Colossus Suppressor Barrel to stabilize recoil.
Best weapons for solo players in MW3 Zombies
I usually play as a solo in MW3 Zombies; it is an effective method to farm weapon schematics and complete story missions. Mostly, I raid the medium and high-threat zones after upgrading my weapon to with Pack-A-Punch. If you are planning to do the same, here are a couple of weapons that stand out.
Tyr Pistol
The Tyr Pistol is an amazing weapon you can use in MW3 Zombies to devastate enemies. I prefer using theUllr’s Fury Triggerwith theAkimbo Rear Gripattachments for quicker shots. After spawning in the match, make this weapon more effective by equipping Pack-A-Punch upgrades andAether Tools.
The trick with this weapon is to get close to the enemies, fire both magazines and reposition quickly. You’ll only have a few bullets in every clip, but the damage dealt by a leveled-up Tyr Pistol can shatterMega Abominationswithin minutes.
Best Perks
You’ll need a few necessary perks while using the Tyr pistol, and I recommend finding the following ones:

Crossbow
Another top weapon to use is the Crossbow as it is exceptionally powerful against zombies with the proper attachments. Equip theBrightblade 20" BoltwithSo MomentoArmsto get the most damage out of this weapon. Additionally, equip an underbarrel or wire attachment to make an effective loadout.
The method with this gun is to move around quickly while shooting the enemy for critical hits. With the Thermite rounds, the enemy will keep incuring fire damage while you reposition. Naturally, you’ll need perks to improve weapon efficiency and character speed.
The perks I like to use while running around with the Crossbow in MW3 Zombies are as follows:

Best equipment to use in MW3 Zombies
Lethal and Tactical equipment can effectively defeat or distract enemies in MW3 Zombies. you may always restock these items by visiting an Ammo Cache around the map. For players relying entirely on movement, you’ll need to carry a few Lethal and Tactical equipment to survive while running around zombies.
I’ve found theDecoy Grenadeto be the best item in the game, especially if you are raiding POIs in the high-tier threat zone. These grenade distract the zombies for a short time, allowing you to quickly maneuver around them without taking any damage. Similarly, theLT53 Kazimircreates a rift that pulls in all zombies, and theMonkey Bomblures in the enemies before detonating.
