In this ONE Esports guide, we share the best Riveter loadout to set your enemies on fire in MW3 Multiplayer.

Best Riveter loadout to incinerate your opponents in MW3

For an incinerating effect on your Riveter, equipping the .410 Gauge Incendiary in the ammunition slot is a must.

This choice inflicts burn damage over time, leaving enemies vulnerable even after they escape the initial blast.

Attach the SL Draven-20 Long Barrel to substantially boost bullet velocity and range, effectively counteracting the drawbacks of the incendiary ammo.

Next, slot in the Verdant Hook Box Laser. This improves your CQC (close quarter combat) accuracy while sliding, hipfire spread, tac stance spread, and sprint to fire speed, enabling you to precisely shoot enemies while moving around the map.

Go with the Phantom Grip to further elevate your sprint to fire speed and enhance your aim down sight speed.

Lastly, select the 30 Round Mag to increase your ammo capacity, enabling you to maintain continuous aggression.

If you find the default 15-round magazine sufficient, opt for the Demo LTS Stock to bolster your movement and sprint speed.
