The Kar98k is a returning weapon forModern Warfare 3andWarzone, which made its initial debut in the originalCall Of Dutybut was widely popular inModern Warfare 2019.

Here isthe best loadout for the Kar98k inModern Warfare 3andWarzone.
How To Unlock The Kar98k
The Kar98k is one of threefree weapon rewards tied to the Season 4 Battle PassofModern Warfare 3andWarzone.

Best MW3 Kar98k Loadout
The following build for the Kar98k is made specifically forModern Warfare 3’s Multiplayer mode. Running these particular set of attachments will boost range and handling considerably, cementing the Kar98k as a fast and reliable Marksman Rifle. Though accuracy and mobility have been reduced slightly, they do remain pretty close to baseline levels.
Best Equipment
Recommended Secondary
Only the most accurate of players will be able to use the Kar98k in close-quarters combat, and a good Marksman Rifle calls for a reliable Secondary to swap to in tense situations. With that being the case, players should consider running a weapon from the Handgun category to go alongside the Kar98k. Some of the best Handgun options for Season 4 and beyond include theWSP Stinger,theRenetti, and theTYR.
Best Warzone Kar98k Loadout
The below Kar98k build is specifically targeted towards players diving intoWarzoneBattle Royal. Running these attachments provides a great increase in range, along with improved damage and accuracy. Although handling and mobility have been reduced, players will find the Kar98k to be quite effective at the 60-meter mark – great forwinning on Rebirth Island.
Best Perk Package
The Kar98k is great for players looking to take down opponents across range but is not exactly a versatile weapon to handle all situations when it comes toWarzoneBattle Royale. With this being the case, it is recommended that players run an additional Primary weapon from either the Assault Rifle or Submachine Gun categories.
For Assault Rifles, some of the top picks includetheBP50, theRAM-7, and theHolger 556. For Submachine Guns, opt for theStriker 9, theWSP Swarm, theRival-9, or theFJX Horus.
