Best FR Avancer loadout, attachment and perks in MW3

Looking for the best FR Avancer loadout in MW3? You’ve come to the right place. While the weapon’s damage isn’t as high as that of other Assault Rifles, it has an incredible fire rate that makes up for its mediocre range and recoil. If you enjoy a fast-paced playstyle that lets you spray bullets non-stop, then the FR Avancer is for you. 

Once you go through our loadout recommendations, you can turn the often belittled FR Avancer into a reliable and powerful weapon in MW3. Before we dive into the best FR Avancer loadout and attachments, see our other helpful guides such as the best MW3 multiplayer tips and tricks or even go through all MW3 maps and check out all the new and remastered maps in the game. 

Best FR Avancer loadout and attachment in MW3

• Muzzle: Purifier Muzzle Brake
• Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
• Underbarrel: Phase-3 Grip
• Magazine: 45 Round Mag
• Rear Grip: FR Tack-3

First of all, you should increase the weapon’s recoil control using the Purifier Muzzle Brake. And while it’ll reduce your bullet velocity and range a bit, that’s where the FSS OLE-V Laser comes in to amplify and strengthen your aiming by increasing ADS and Sprint to Fire speed. You should use the Phase-3 Grip under barrel to increase the FR Avancer’s accuracy, making it as high as the fire rate. Your mobility and handling might take a hit but it shouldn’t affect your gameplay all that much and is worth it. 

As for magazine, I use the 45-round mag for the FR Avancer because it lets me move faster. You can use that if you’d like to move quicker as well or you can go for the 60 Round Mag if you simply want a larger ammo capacity. For rear grip, use the FR Tack-3 as it’ll increase your accuracy and fire rate but at the cost of your aim walking speed. 

Best FR Avancer perks and equipment in MW3 

• Vest: Overkill Vest
• Gloves: Quick-Grip Gloves
• Boots: Lightweight Boots
• Gear: Ghost T/V Camo
• Tactical: Frag Grenade
• Lethal: Battle Rage

With the Overkill Vest, you can go into battle with a sniper as your secondary weapon and a slight increase to your reload speed while sprinting. The Quick-Grip Gloves let you switch between two rifles while the Lightweight Boots will give you more mobility. 

As usual, the Ghost T/V Camp will keep you hidden from enemy radar while the Frag Grenade can help you get out of tight situations. Battle Rage will also come in handy especially when you’re out of options.
