Marksman Rifles have had a bad reputation for a long time, but thanks to weapons like the MTZ Interceptor that perception is slowly changing. We’re here to check in with the MCW 6.8 and find out if the best MCW 6.8 loadout can be as META-relevant as some other MRs in both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3.
Best MCW 6.8 Loadout in Warzone
Best MCW 6.8 Attachments
The MCW 6.8 suffers from a lack of damage and absent ability to switch to a fully automatic delivery system. Since it must be a single-shot rifle, we must rely on a fast trigger finger to score any decent kills. The MCW 6.8 is an MTZ Interceptor look-alike but doesn’t have the stopping power to contend with the best Marksman Rifle. That said, the right attachments go the way to making a weapon better.
The best attachments are as follows:
- Muzzle: TA CG76
- Barrel: Tempus Predator Precision Barrel
- Underbarrel: Bruen Pivot Vertical Grip
- Magazine: 30 Round Mag
- Stock: SL Warforged Precision Stock
Due to the MCW 6.8’s intense horizontal recoil we first have to equip the TA CG76 muzzle to mitigate a large portion of that shake. But since we want to prioritize accuracy and stability we don’t stop there. Next up is the Bruen Pivot Vertical Grip and SL Warforged Precision Stock to continue the trend of reducing gun kick and recoil, while increasing stability.
Last up is the 30 round magazine to ensure we can take down multiple enemies in Warzone’s increased health environment.
Best MCW 6.8 Perks
Our recommended perks are generic to Warzone itself, so you can run these regardless of primary or secondary weapon.
The best perks are as follows:
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
- Perk 3: Tempered
- Perk 4: High Alert
In perk slot 1 we have Double Time so you can sprint for longer across the large open sightlines in Warzone’s new map. 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.
Tempered offers a 33% faster plating speed and frees up some bagspace for plenty of nicknacks and gadgets. Finally, High Alert offers you protection from snipers, gives information on enemy positions, and can generally save your life.

Best MCW 6.8 Attachments
The MCW 6.8 suffers greatly from the success of its brother the MCW, but honestly, this weapon is simply underwhelming by itself. With less than impressive damage and a fairly lacklustre accuracy the MCW 6.8 does itself no favors.
Still, like most weapons in Modern Warfare 3 we can tune them up in the Gunsmith, slipping on certain attachments to protect its weaknesses and highlight its strength. The MCW 6.8 is no exception and can be a solid pick with the right parts for the battlefield.
The best attachments are as follows:
- Muzzle: XRK Kraken
- Barrel: Tempus Predator Precision Barrel
- Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
- Optic: Mk. 3 Reflector
- Rear Grip: RB Claw-PSL Grip
First, we use the XRK Kraken and pair it with the Lockgrip Precision-40 to ensure this Marksman Rifle can hit its shots. Since each missed bullet is potentially a death sentence we double down by addition on the Tempus Predator Precision Barrel for better range and accuracy.
Sometimes it’s completely correct to spray and pray that your bullets find their target, so we’ve added on the RB Claw-PSL Grip for better recoil reduction and ease of handling. Finally, the optic is our personal preference for an uncluttered sight; the Mk. 3 Reflector.
Best MCW 6.8 Perks
Since the MCW 6.8 isn’t a fast-paced weapon like the DM56 and benefits more when you hunker down to cover a single position, we want Perks to help achieve that goal.
The best perks are as follows:
- Vest: Gunner Vest
- Gloves: Marksman Gloves
- Gear: EOD Padding
Since we have a Marksman Rifle, we want to utilize the Gunner Vest’s ability to bring a second primary weapon to ensure we can enter close-ranged fights. As the name suggests, you’ll want to slip on some Marksman Gloves to ensure that your shots hit true and so that you can reduce idle sway as you stalk your prey. EOD Padding will let you shrug off the stray grenade and often save your life more time than you would believe. Sadly, due to our preferred Vest, we are not able to choose a pair of boots, but we think this exchange is more than worth it.
That does it for our best MCW 6.8 Loadout in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone guide. Since we are deep into Season 1, be sure to check out other Call of Duty content at Twinfinite for the best loadout guides.
