Best KATT-AMR Attachments

As the single best Sniper Rifle in Warzone, this complete monster cannot be accomplished with its outstanding damage, incredible range, and pinpoint accuracy. Its one drawback is the sluggish handling and speed expected of a sniper in the modern age. Everything we do to the KATT-AMR is only positive from here on out.

The best attachments are as follows:

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
  • Barrel: Zang-34 Barrel
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal Spire Point Rounds
  • Rear Grip: Singer LR Grip

First, we have the Sonic Suppressor XL as our choice in increasing bullet velocity and range in the muzzle position. Next, the Zang-34 Barrel also offers a drastic increase in the same bullet velocity, range, and damage to ensure it outperforms every other sniper. For some accuracy and handling improvements, we have the FSS OLE-V Laser and for the final touches on our range, we have the .50 Cal Spire Point Rounds. Together these attachments guarantee that the KATT-AMR has the best range, damage, and accuracy.

But since we are using a sniper we know the flinch can be a killer in an unclean gunfight, so we use the Singer LR Grip to mitigate the shake when you’re getting hit.

Best KATT-AMR Perks

For the KATT-AMR, we want to ensure we have some mobility options to guarantee we can rotate through the maps and find specific choke points to hold.

The best perks are as follows:

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

Double time increases our Tactical Sprint recharge and duration to ensure we can cross open sightlines with speed. Sleight of Hand is a timeless perk that allows us to reload quicker and make sure we aren’t out of the fight for long. In the Perk 3 slot we have Tempered to reduce the number of plates needed to reach full health by 1 and the time to fully plate by 33%.

Finally, we have High Alert as the perfect option to gain information, react to enemy operators faster, and protect your skull from pesky sniper scopes.

Best KATT-AMR Attachments

The KATT-AMR is the highest damaging weapon in the game, hitting an enemy in the foot will still result in a one-shot one-kill. But in today’s climate and the chaos of multiplayer, it’s not enough

This sniper is an immobile, high-powered beast with little potential to rival the Longbow in mobility. But with certain attachments, we can ensure that all that damage can be channeled into pinpoint accuracy.

The best attachments are as follows:

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
  • Barrel: Tempus Aura Heavy Barrel
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Optic: FTAC Charlie 7
  • Read Grip: Singer LR Grip

As stated, we want to make the KATT-AMR the best sniper to hold down a position and take down enemies across the entire map. To achieve that goal we first use the Sonic Suppressor XL to give us a good increase in range and accuracy, while the Tempus Aura Heavy Barrel keeps the KATT from swaying uncontrollably.

The FSS OLE-V Laser brings faster ADS and aiming stability to help sudden CQC fights. Finally, the FTAC Charlie 7 is a good middle ground between long-range and close-range, the Singer LR Grip keeps the flinch to a minimum so we aren’t immediately outgunned by any AR.

Best KATT-AMR Perks

Modern Warfare 3’s perks system is intended to tie off your loadout with unique bonuses that can help your game plan come to fruition. The KATT-AMR needs some help due to its immobility thus we slip on these specific pieces of body gear.

The best perks are as follows:

  • Vest: Infantry Vest
  • Gloves: Marksman Gloves
  • Boots: Stalker Boots
  • Gear: Tac Mask

The Infantry Vest is the single best in Modern Warfare 3 at the moment. It gives you the ability to Tac Sprint for a longer duration and recharge quicker. While we want to be using this to run rampant across the map, instead we will use the mobility to rotate to better positions. The Marksman Gloves reduce sway and flinching while you’re aiming down sights, a must-have for any long-range sniper. Stalker Boots allow us to dodge some critical shots from enemy players with faster ADS strafing. Finally, the Tac Mask reduces flashbangs to give you a better shot at hitting enemies trying to overwhelm you with tactical equipment. With this combo, you’ll rampage across the map, taking down enemies one shot at a time.

And there we have it. The best KATT-AMR class in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Season 1 is halfway through its lifespan and Activision is keen on changing up the META so be sure to check in with Twinfinite for Call of Duty related guides, news, and updates.
