If you bought the Season 1 Battle Pass, you'll want to know which one best RAM-7 gear in Modern Warfare 3. This assault rifle doesn't unlock immediately, so you'll need to complete the Battle Pass before you can get your hands on it, but once you do you'll rarely want to put it down.
Also appears in our list of the best weapons in MW3The RAM-7 is a fast-firing automatic assault rifle with a decent amount of kick, so to use it effectively you'll need to keep that in hand while equipping it for medium-range combat. You'll also want to stick an extended magazine of some form on there, as you can burn through the bullets quite quickly.
Here are our gear picks for the best RAM-7 gear in Modern Warfare 3and how to unlock the gun in the first place.
How to unlock the RAM-7 in MW3
In Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 you can unlock the RAM-7 by progressing the Battle Pass and completing Sector A7. The fastest path here is along the bottom, completing A1, A3 and then A6. So to complete all four sectors, you'll need at least 20 Battle Pass tokens. Luckily, the RAM-7 is one of the free rewards in the Battle Pass, so you don't have to buy it, but you can earn Battle Pass tokens faster this way.

This is where the best RAM-7 gear comes in Modern Warfare 3:
- Walk: Boreal-6C suppressed barrel
- Underrun: XTEN Phantom-5 Hand Stop
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
- Back handle: Retort 90 grip tape
- Comb: FT Polycomb
As mentioned above, the goal of this RAM-7 loadout is to find a good balance between damage, knockback, and mobility. The Boreal-6C suppressed barrel is the most important attachment here, as it offers a huge improvement to bullet speed and range, while also making you undetectable by radar, and the debuffs to ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds aren't too high .
You'll want to keep that in mind with the other attachments, though, and that's where the XTEN Phantom-5 Hand Stop comes in. The FT Polycomb And Retort 90 grip tape both generally help with gun control, while the 40 Round Mag ensures that you don't run out of bullets during the fight. We haven't included an optic for this build because the RAM-7 iron sights are generally serviceable, but if you find yourself at longer ranges, consider hitting a red dot or holographic sight instead of the magazine , the rear handle or Comb attachments.
Best RAM-7 class in Modern Warfare 3
This is the best class to use next to the RAM-7 Modern Warfare 3:
- Vest: Killer vest
- Handgun: Renetti
- Tactical: Shock grenade
- Deadly: Semtex
- Gloves: Marksman gloves
- Boots: Hidden sneakers
- Acceleration: EOD padding
The Killer vest is the brand new vest introduced in Season 1. In exchange for your Field Upgrade slot you gain the ability to be completely immune to enemy UAV and radar effects, so combined with the Suppressed Barrel you will never appear on the enemy radar. The other added bonus is that kills don't show skulls, which is useful if you're playing against particularly smart enemies who pay attention to that and you want to play stealthily.
The rest of the construction is fairly simple. The Renetti is still the best sidearm in the game, while the Shock grenade And Semtex throwables are standard. Swap these for the Flash Grenade and/or Frag Grenade if you prefer. The Marksman gloves are ideal during combat as they help you stay on target while the Hidden sneakers assist in secret escapades. If you don't want to sneak behind enemies – or if you notice that enemies don't hear your footsteps much anyway – wear the Stalker Boots. finally, the EOD padding is the best equipment in the game because it protects you from grenades.
