Modern Warfare 3, The Stealth Builds And Prestige Guide

by A.J. Coltrane

The tables below show the builds I’m using for Modern Warfare 3, Domination Mode. I did this post when I was new to the game. Now I’m on my 7th Prestige. The new information is really different from the old stuff.

The idea is (still) to skulk around corners and shadows, and to ambush as many unsuspecting players as possible. This isn’t about having “fair fights”. It’s about shooting them when they’re not looking, if possible. The builds feature Blind Eye and Assassin, to be invisible to enemy air support and invisible on the mini map. I always use a Silencer when available for maximum sneakiness. (Plus, when I whiff it takes them longer to figure out where I’m shooting from.)

For assault rifles I would suggest the SCAR at level 6, then the G36C and the ACR at higher levels. The G36C has a little more punch, the ACR has more accuracy.

The MP-7 is the best submachine gun in my opinion, though it’s not available until level 74. Otherwise I would use the P90 or PP90 (grease gun). I generally prefer accuracy, so I use the P90 at lower levels.

I use the Grenadier class until level 4, when the custom builds become available. I settled on Stalker because it allows me to scope and strafe around corners at nearly full speed. The player that is crouched and scoped when the shooting starts has a big advantage.

During the first flag capture I use Hardline to get to Assassin, that way the Assassin kicks in after that first capture, and I basically get double the capture xp too. *After* that first capture Assassin is used to stay off of the minimap.

I use Bouncing Betty and Portable Radar for the Lethal and Tactical Slots. If you can tolerate the SCAR, I would take the Radar with the first Prestige, the Betty with the second Prestige, the ACR with the 3rd, then take the bonus custom build slots for the next five Prestiges. Personally though, I would take the ACR first, then Radar, then Betty. I hate getting outgunned.
