Snakeshot TYR Build MW3 – The TYR pistol in Modern Warfare 3 isn’t your run-of-the-mill sidearm – it’s a lethal five-round revolver that can consistently one-shot enemies at close to medium range. Taking it to the next level, you can equip the TYR with Snake Shot rounds, essentially transforming it into a handheld shotgun. And why settle for one secondary shotgun when you can have two?
In this guide, I’ll walk you through the best TYR loadout and class setup in MW3, transforming the revolver into dual secondary shotguns for maximum firepower!
Best TYR Loadout in MW3
This TYR loadout maximizes the potential of Snake Shot rounds and the Akimbo attachments, allowing you to wield double shotguns as your secondary weapon. The focus is on hip-fire accuracy, range, and responsiveness, making the revolver a potent backup weapon, especially in smaller maps or when playing from objective to objective in larger ones.
Without further ado, here are the optimal attachments for the Akimbo TYR in MW3:
| Attachment | Choice | Reason |
| Barrel | ZIU-16 Heavy Long Barrel | Maximizes damage range and improves recoil control, enhancing the one-shot range of our mini shotguns. |
| Laser | XTEN Sidearm-L400 | Essential for an Akimbo setup, improving hip-fire accuracy and recoil control for easier follow-up shots. |
| Magazine | 12.7x55mm Snake Shot | The secret ingredient that transforms revolvers into super shotguns! |
| Trigger Action | Ali’s Regret | Enhances fire rate and trigger response time without sacrificing sprint-to-fire speed like the Ullr’s Fury attachment does. |
| Rear Grip | Akimbo TYR | Double the trouble! Because two secondary shotguns are better than one. |
Best TYR Class Setup in MW3
Now, let’s complement your Akimbo TYR loadout with the perfect class setup for all your MW3 adventures:
| Equipment | Choice | Reason |
| Vest | Engineer Vest | Allows carrying an extra Gear (extra perks) and two Tacticals instead of one – providing more versatility. |
| Tactical | Stun/Flash Grenade (x2) | Ideal for clearing corners or capture points from close range. |
| Field Equipment | A.C.S | Deploy on capturable objectives to secure without entering. Swap as needed for a Comms Scrambler or Trophy System. |
| Gloves | Commando Gloves | Enables reloading while sprinting. |
| Boots | Covert Boots | Silence your footsteps, so that you can get up close and personal with enemies while maintaining the element of surprise! |
| Gear #1 | Ghost T/V Camo | Block detection by enemy UAVs and Heartbeat Sensors while on the move. |
| Gear #2 | Bone Conduction Headset | Reduces combat noise and enhances your ability to detect enemy footsteps and gunshots. |
