Best Holger 26 Loadout in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone

One of my personal favorite moving into MW3.

Season 1 of Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 is underway and with it comes the questions of META. So far MRs, BRs, and SMGs have taken the spotlight, but what about LMGs? The Holger 26 is here to prove it is no slouch with its best loadout.

Best Holger 26 Attachments

An LMG with the mobility profile of an Assault Rifle is a dangerous thought, but the Holger 26 turns that into reality. Strong damage range, quick handling, and high accuracy make this weapon a standout in LMGs.

  • Muzzle: Komodo Heavy
  • Barrel: Holger Factory Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Pivot Vertical Grip
  • Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5X
  • Stock: Ascent Lord Stock

While the Holger 26 has a nice recoil pattern and high accuracy, we want to eliminate any chance of missing with the Komodo Heavy muzzle and Bruen Pivot Vertical Grip. Together these two attachments cause the Holger 26 to be a laser beam. The Holger Factory Barrel is our solution to long-range gunfights, ensuring this LMG has the best damage range possible in Warzone.

Finally, the Corio Eagleseye 2.5X is our choice of optic since it’s clean and offers no clutter for easy shots, and the Ascent Lord Stock for some last bonuses to stability.

Best Holger 26 Perks

Our perks are recommended for Warzone in general and are mostly irrelevant to the weapon you’re using. Here we detail our all-around perk package for any player.

The best perks are as follows:

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

Sleight of Hand is the most interchangeable on this list, its faster reload speeds will be more beneficial to some and worse for others, but it has saved my life more times than I can count, so we keep it as our first pick. In perk slot 2 we have Double Time, an absolute must-have in Warzone as mobility will save your life and get you into a fight quicker.

Tempered offers us a unique ability to plate up 33% quicker than opponents while needing almost 33% fewer plates than any other squad. Finally, High Alert protects you from the enemy squad’s aiming at the back of your skull while simultaneously giving you information on their whereabouts.

Best Holger 26 Attachments

The Holger 26 is an LMG so it is already focused on high accuracy, decent fire rate, and good damage while sacrificing a lot of mobility. We want to keep that trend with the attachments we throw onto this weapon so that it can be a true monster at locking down flanks or long angles for easy kills.

The best attachments are as follows:

  • Muzzle: HMRES Mod Suppressor
  • Barrel: Prime Lord Heavy Barrel
  • Optic: MK. 3 Reflector
  • Stock: RB Addle Assault Stock
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Pivot Vertical Grip

First up, the duo of the HMRES Mod Suppressor and the Prime Lord Heavy Barrel increase the Holger’s TTK and range ensuring your bullets hit hard. For our stability needs, we use the Bruen Pivot Vertical Grip to keep our shots on target, and the RB Addle Assault Stock further boosts our accuracy. Finally, the MK. 3 Reflector is a clean optic with no visual clutter so you can see and track your target without issue.

Best Holger 26 Perks

Modern Warfare 3 sees the perk system change and we are all for it. Now we have different pieces of body armor that give you specific and unique bonuses that you can mix and match across your loadout. The Holger 26 is an LMG so it needs the right bonuses to be truly effective.

The best perks are as follows:

  • Vest: Infantry Vest
  • Gloves: Quick Grip Gloves
  • Boots: Stalker Boots
  • Gear: EOD Padding

The Infantry Vest offers our LMG a mobility option by increasing Tac Sprint duration and recharge time while Quick-Grip gloves negate a big weakness of the LMG class, allowing us to switch to our secondary when the big gun isn’t needed. For information gathering as we hold chokes and hardpoints, we take the Stalker Boots, ensuring no one gets past our position. EOD Padding protects us from frags and killstreaks attempting to flush us out, allowing you to take more punishment than anyone else.

And there you have it, the best Holger 26 loadout in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Check out our other guides on the best Assault Rifles, Marksman Rifles, META weapons below!
