COD: MW3 WSP-9 Guide - Best Build & Loadout for Small Maps

A mathematically optimized build for the WSP-9 on Shipment, Meat, Das Haus, and Stash House.

Modern Warfare 3 has hundreds of attachments (with many being virtual lookalikes that essentially do the same thing slightly differently), which makes building guns an incredibly confusing process! Looking up class setups online can be clouded by tons of clickbait and low-effort junk, so if you're looking for highly-researched and performance-tested class setups from an actual Call of Duty expert, you are in the right place! In this guide, we'll take a look at the best loadout and attachments for the WSP-9 on Small Maps, such as Shipment, Meat, Das Haus, and Stash House.

Best WSP-9 Build & Attachments

I recommend using Stalker Boots with this weapon.

While the recent buffs to the WSP-9 (and its accompanying Broodmother Kit) are nice, the Wispy-9 still lags behind its peers: decent TTK, unattractive mobility. It can actually maintain the 300ms TTK up to 25.1m as long as you keep shots above the stomach, which gives the WSP-9 a bit of an advantage over other SMGs with its extended range. The WSP-9 experiences very jumpy and shaky vertical recoil; while the Ironsights are serviceable, they severely obstruct your vision from all the shake - even with enhanced FAS and reduced visual recoil from the Zehmn35.

A good reason to use the WSP-9 is a tough sell, but it does fill a niche similar to the AMR-9 in that it can be an interesting AR/SMG hybrid. Once again, using the Stalker Boots to boost you up to 3.9m/s Strafe Speed is suddenly very competitive and not a bad idea at all!

Our Testing Process: What does "Mathematically Optimized" mean? 

It means that I have personally conducted over 30 hours of dedicated testing across the entire MW2 & 3 attachment set, endlessly consulted high-quality external resources and databases, and tirelessly tested performance across separate attachment combinations to produce what I believe to be the optimal build of a weapon for a specific purpose. Weapons are carefully crafted considering every possible detail - attempting to deliver the mathematically best possible performance in every category - mobility, handling, recoil, range, and accuracy.

With my builds, I believe you should see creative, never-before-seen uses of attachments that create incredible weapons. Do keep in mind that these weapons will not do the work for you - while they have all been precision-crafted to reduce horizontal recoil as much as possible, some of them still have quite noticeable vertical recoil, and it is on you to manage that vertical recoil correctly. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading about this build and every other build I have to offer on Fanbyte!

DISCLAIMER: If you test these in the Firing Range, please note that the Firing Range is currently glitched and shows more visual recoil and different damage performance than actually experienced in-game; it is best that you test these in a custom match or online.
