Best Holger 556 loadout and attachments in MW3 

  • Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor
  • Barrel: Chrios-6 Match
  • Rear Grip: Morn-20 Grip
  • Optic: MK. 3 Reflector
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip

To kick things off, we’ve gone with the Shadowstrike Suppressor as our Muzzle to keep your shots from showing up on the minimap. You should combine this with the Chrios-6 Match Barrel to improve your weapon’s overall range and recoil control. Another alternative to keep up the fast TTK (Time To Kill) is the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor.

Then we have the Morn-20 Grip which if you combine with the Bruen Heavy Support Grip Underbarrel, lets you enjoy a stable handling with the Holger 556. This rear grip boosts recoil and flinch but at the cost of aim walking speed. If you’re looking for ADS speed and gun kick control, consider the SL Skeletal Vertical Grip too. And lastly, you should go with the MK. 3 Reflector as your Optic as it comes with a red dot sight that’ll often come in handy. The Slate Reflector is another reliable pick for this class setup.

  • Vest: Infantry Vest
  • Gloves: Commando Gloves
  • Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Gear: Ghost T/V Camo

As always, the Infantry Vest will amp up your Tactical Sprint, and then we have the Commando Gloves which will allow you to reload and sprint at the same time. The Covert Sneakers does a fine job of letting you move in silence and increasing your chances of getting finishing moves on enemies. Scavenger Gloves and their ammo resupply bonus are worth considering if you find yourself emptying your magazines too quickly.

Up next is the Ghost T/V Camo which will keep you hidden from UAVs. For your equipment, we suggest going with the Semtex to grant you quick and easy kills. The Flash Grenade will leave enemies vulnerable for a few seconds, giving you an opener to take them out if you’re fast enough. Then we have the Trophy System as your Field Upgrade to block incoming explosives and enemy equipment in objective-based game modes.

The MCW and M4 and consistent rifles that I recommend over the Holger 556. While the SVA 545’s double bullet bonus helps it against the Holger 556, I’d still pick the first two weapons instead. Despite that, the Holger 556 is among the best-performing guns in the game.
