Best BP50 gear, class built in Modern Warfare 3

The best BP50 gear in Modern Warfare 3 takes full advantage of the weapon’s high rate of fire to deal virtually unstoppable damage while maintaining decent recoil control. Formerly known as the F2000 Modern warfare games of yesteryear, this assault rifle was introduced with the Season 2 Battle Pass MW3meaning you have to unlock it before you can actually use it.

The BP50 didn’t immediately reach the top of the meta upon launch, but thanks to a buff it received midway through Season 2, it’s now one of the strongest weapons in the game and can be found in our list of the best weapons in Modern Warfare 3.

That’s what we want to help with here, so here’s the best BP50 gear in MW3the best class to use and how to unlock the assault rifle in the first place.


How to unlock the BP50 in MW3

To unlock the BP50 in Season 2, you’ll need to complete Sector B7 on the Battle Pass. The fastest way is both B1-B5-B8-B7 or B1-B2-B4-B7. This means it costs a total of 20 Battle Pass tokens, but the good news is that the weapon is free, so you don’t have to spend real money or COD Points to buy the Battle Pass first. When Season 2 ends, the method to unlock the BP50 will likely be via an Armory Unlock Challenge.

The best BP50 gear is in here Modern Warfare 3:

  • End of a loop: STER45 Skyfury compensator
  • Walk: Lore-9 heavy barrel
  • Back handle: TRST-IV grip tape
  • Stock: MOAT-40 stock
  • Optics: XRK on-point optics

By default, the BP50 has a ridiculously high rate of fire, so the main goal here is to gain control over the recoil. This is largely possible thanks to the STER45 Skyfury compensator, which sacrifices some ADS speed for a lot of recoil control. Your playstyle will probably be a little slower with this weapon anyway, so you shouldn’t have to click ADS as often as you would with something suitable for close combat.

The Lore-9 heavy barrel helps here too, with the added benefit of buffing bullet speed and range so the BP50 does slightly more damage from further away. Again, you sacrifice mobility for this, along with some hip fire accuracy. The TRST-IV grip tape helps with the same aspects, but takes away from the target swing a bit, so be wary of that if you’re holding a certain angle for a long time.

Then we have the MOAT-40 stockwhich actually improves both ADS speed and recoil control since you don’t want to commit at a lot to do with the playstyle that makes you useless in reactive situations. (If you want to reduce recoil even further, trade this for the Forebearer Heavy Stock.) Finally, the optic choice is a personal preference – I like the holographic nature of the XRK on pointbut this may be what you prefer.

Here is the best class to use with the BP50 in Modern Warfare 3:

  • Vest: Killer vest
  • Handgun: Renetti
  • Tactical: Shock grenade
  • Gloves: Marksman gloves
  • Boots: Stalker boots
  • Acceleration: EOD padding

To complement this BP50 gear I highly recommend the Killer vest, because it means you are immune to UAV and enemy radar effects even when standing still. This means that while you aren’t exactly hidden to pick on people from your point of view, you are a small more secretly.

The Renetti is the best gun in the game, so that’s an easy choice, and the Shock grenade is the most reliable tactic. If you want to play a bit more tactically in coordination with your teammates, consider a Smoke Grenade, or a Snapshot Grenade if you want to drive enemies out of the cover they are hiding behind.

The Marksman gloves are by far the best gloves for this build, as they reduce flinch and sway as you aim downrange, and the Stalker boots you can also target a little better while ADSing. finally, the EOD padding protects you from grenades that take you from far away, or you can opt for the Tac Mask if stuns and flashes are more of an issue for you.
