Best Taq Eradicator loadout and attachments in MW3 

  • Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor
  • Barrel: Conquer-70 Long Barrel
  • Optic: MK. 3 Reflector
  • Stock: Tacverte Core Stock
  • Rear Grip: FSS Combat Grip
  • Magazine: 45 Round Mag

The Shadowstrike Suppressor provides you with discreet shots that cannot be detected by enemy radar. This is a fine addition that will make it hard for enemies to spot you and will increase your mobility. And although the Tempus GH50 Muzzle gives you better recoil and handling, I suggest you go with the Shadowstrike Suppressor as your Muzzle. 

As for Barrel, the Conquer-70 Long Barrel does well to improve the weapon’s aiming stability, range as well as bullet velocity. For your Optic, you should use the MK. 3 Reflector to increase your aim while ADS. You should combine the Tacverte Core Stock with the FSS Combat Grip to increase the Taq Eradicator’s overall recoil and aiming stability with the 45-Round Mag as your Magazine.

  • Vest: Infantry
  • Gloves: Assault
  • Gear: EOD Padding
  • Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Trophy System 

To kick things off with perks, you should use the Infantry Vest to boost your Tac Sprint. If you want to increase ADS speed, be sure to use the Assault Gloves combined with EOD Padding as your Gear to protect yourself from enemy equipment. The Covert Sneakers are great for giving you a silent movement throughout the match, increasing your chances of performing finishing moves on enemies. 

For your equipment, the Frag Grenade is a reliable lethal equipment that’ll come in handy, along with the Stun Grenade as your Tactical equipment. You should use the Trophy System in your Field Upgrade slot as it can protect you from enemy explosives.

An impressive choice

The Taq Eradicator remains a unique and experimental weapon that boasts a wicked burst attack and impressive fire rate. While its initial accuracy may be lacking, the fire rate slows down over time, making it more reliable for hitting targets at longer ranges. This LMG is great for players who like to take risks and experiment with new strategies, but it’s not without its drawbacks.

So that’s all we have for you on the best Taq Eradicator loadout.
