The HRM-9 submachine gun was added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with the Season 1 Reloaded update. This SMG can be great for close-quarters combat, but can also work in farther distances with the right attachments.
Best Loadout for the HRM-9 in Modern Warfare 3
Here are the best attachments for the HRM-9 in Modern Warfare 3:
- Ammunition – 9MM Overpressured +P
- Laser – Point-G3P 04
- Muzzle – Xten Black Kite
- Stock – Folding Stock
- Underbarrel – Agent Grip
The goal of the build is to lessen the recoil as much as possible to make this a great close to mid-range weapon. That is where the Folding Stock, Point-G3P 04, and Agent Grip come in.
The Xten Black Kite is a suppression attachment to keep you off the enemy radar without sacrificing accuracy or recoil control. Finally, the 9MM Overpressured +P ammo will give a slight boost of damage to make the weapon more viable mid-range.
Best Perks and Equipment for the HRM-9 in MW3
Here are the best perks and equipment to use with the HRM-9 in Modern Warfare 3:
- Vest – Assassin Vest
- Secondary – Renetti
- Tactical – Stim
- Lethal – Semtex
- Gloves – Scavenger Gloves
- Boots – Covert Sneakers
- Gear – Hijacked IFF Strobe
The Assassin Vest will shield players from UAVs, while the Hijacked IFF Strobe will hide players from enemy airborne killstreaks. Following the stealth theme is the Covert Sneakers, which eliminate the sound of your footsteps for an easy surprise.
This is a close-quarters loadout, so having a Stim can help heal faster between skirmishes. Finally, keep a Renetti or another pistol as your secondary to quickly switch once your HRM-9 mag runs out mid-fight.
How to Unlock HRM-9 in Modern Warfare 3
The HRM-9 can be unlocked by completing several challenges from the Sector A21 of the Battle Pass or purchasing the System Error bundle from the in-game store. All of the challenges require getting specific kills with SMGs and can be done in multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone.
