Best Modern Warfare 3 TAQ Eradicator loadout

The best Modern Warfare 3 TAQ Eradicator loadout is handy to optimise the new LMG in the game. It has a very novel fire rate, starting off fast and inaccurate before slowing down to become a more useful pinpoint gun.

It won't come as a surprise given it's quite a cumbersome LMG, but the best TAQ Eradicator loadout will help stabilise its fire rate, and ensure more consistent accuracy throughout the duration of the weapon's clip.

Best Modern Warfare 3 TAQ Eradicator attachments

After spending some time in the Gunsmith, we've settled on these attachments to bolster the performance of the TAQ Eradicator:

• Barrel: Conquer-70 Long Barrel
• Optic: Slate Reflector
• Stock: Tactique Brute Stock
• Underbarrel: FTAC MSP-98 Handstop
• Rear Grip: Demo Cleanshot Grip

Kicking things off is the Conquer-70 Long Barrel for an increase in bullet velocity and range to minimise any kind of drop-off when firing the TAQ Eradicator in long-distance duels. To maintain focus on the target, the Slate Reflector ensures a crystal-clear view is maintained.

For maximum stability, the FTAC MSP-98 Handstop and Tactique Brute Stock stop any unnecessary recoil and sway disrupting your view of the action which is great when attempting to track fast-moving submachine gunners.

Lastly, the Demo Cleanshot Grip delivers improvements to sprint-to-fire and aim-down sight speed, giving you extremely fast reaction times considering you've got an LMG equipped.

Best Modern Warfare 3 TAQ Eradicator perks and equipment

Perks

• Vest: Overkill
• Gloves: Marksman
• Gear: Threat Identification System
• Boots: Stalker

First off, Overkill is a handy perk to increase the TAQ Eradicator's aiming speed while sprinting, and allowing you to swap to your secondary quickly. Marksman is handy to reduce any flinch from damage while aiming down sights, which is handy if you're firing into a wide area.

Next, Threat Identification System will ping nearby enemies while in ADS, and Stalker lets you aim faster. Those will help make the TAQ Eradicator a lethal LMG.

Equipment

• Lethal: Frag Grenade
• Tactical: Flash Grenade

When it comes to the best equipment, the Frag Grenade is good for flushing out enemies behind cover so they're in the line of fire. Equally, the Flash Grenade can then slow them down to land the killing blow with ease.

Is the Modern Warfare 3 TAQ Eradicator meta?

Despite its unique fire-rate gimmick, we can't imagine the TAQ Eradicator will form part of the Modern Warfare 3 meta. It's just too outside of the established meta to slot in, so you'll likely only use it if you're curious to see how its variable rate of fire works.

How to unlock the TAQ Eradicator in Modern Warfare 3

Unlike most other guns in Modern Warfare 3, the TAQ Eradicator isn't available as soon as multiplayer lands, and doesn't come as a reward for levelling up.

Instead, there will be some specific challenges after multiplayer launches in order to unlock the TAQ Eradicator. We don't know what they are yet, but we'll update our guide once the intel comes in.
