Season 1 has dropped for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, and with it arrives a massive content drop for both games. The new Urzikstan map provides players with a whole new battlefield to play on, and a new Battle Pass sees the arrival of three new highly-anticipated weapons. While the RAM-7 is sure to be adored by AR enthusiasts, the XRK Stalker is here to satisfy players who love sniping from afar.

The XRK Stalker is a brand-new Sniper Rifle added for Season 1. It sports the best level of range out of all the Sniper Rifles exclusive to Modern Warfare 3, along with the best level of accuracy and damage. Though other options have considerably better levels of mobility and handling, the XRK Stalker is shaping up to be one of the best Snipers for long-distance sniping – which is great for you Warzone players.

Unlocking The XRK Stalker

The XRK Stalker is a reward tied to the Season 1 Battle Pass for Modern Warfare 3, located in Sector A4. To get to Sector A4, you will need to create a path to it by unlocking all the rewards in adjacent Sectors. The quickest way to reach Sector A4 is to claim the rewards in Sectors A1 and then A2, before claiming every reward in Sector A4 to be able to claim the XRK Stalker.

Outside the Battle Pass, there are also two alternative ways to grab the XRK Stalker. The first is through extracting it in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies. The second is to obtain a Blueprint variant of it, either through the Battle Pass or via a Store Bundle.

Modern Warfare 3 DG-58 LSW: Best Attachments & Best Loadout

The DG-58 LSW is a powerful LMG in Modern Warfare 3. Here are the best attachments and the best loadout for it!

Recommended Perk Package

The above Perk Package has been carried over from our KATT-AMR loadout, and will serve you well in Core Multiplayer. Running the above perks will boost accuracy, whilst also supporting stealth and mitigating slow reload times. Give it a try!

Recommended Secondary

A good Sniper Rifle loadout calls for a reliable Sniper support weapon. For Multiplayer, a weapon from the Handgun category will be more than sufficient. Some of our recommendations include the Rennetti, the TYR, and the WSP Stinger – which are all solid options in their own right.

For Warzone, instead, take a primary weapon from either the Submachine Gun or Assault Rifle category. Some great Assault Rifles to consider include the RAM-7, the MTZ-556, and the Chimera due to their superb levels of handling. For the SMG category, the Striker, the AMR9, and the Striker 9 are all decent considerations.
