With the continuous discussion surrounding meta and the top-performing guns, it is surprising that one of the most dominant weapons in MW3 has received little attention.
The JAK Headhunter Carbine Conversion for the Rival-9 is a highly potent aftermarket addition. Once attached, this conversion kit upgrades the SMG into a three-round burst firearm, significantly enhancing its impact while slightly sacrificing mobility.
The exceptional feature of the Rival-9 is its ability to eliminate enemies within a distance of 25 meters with only two bursts. With a rapid rate of fire of 882 RPM, this results in a comical TTK of 208 ms, as accurately measured and confirmed by TrueGameData.
To better understand the absurdity of this, consider that in Black Ops 3, the average time to kill was 233 ms despite players having 50 less health. It is hard to believe that a game with 150 Health could have such a fast TTK, but that is exactly what the JAK Headhunter Carbine Conversion is able to achieve.
To ensure maximum consistency, here is the optimal loadout to use with this incredible weapon:
- Conversion Kit: JAK Headhunter Carbine Conversion
- Muzzle: Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider
- Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
- Underbarrel: Paracord Grip
- Rear Grip: Rival Vice Assault Grip
Individuals who utilized the JAK Headhunter version of the Rival-9 during its initial release might be astonished to learn of its current strength. This is due to the fact that in Season 1, it was not considered particularly effective.
Despite subsequent buffs, the conversion kit’s damage and fire rate were both raised by nearly 30%, greatly enhancing its lethality. This solidified its position as one of the top weapons in the game, a status it has maintained to this day.
Despite having very few real flaws, one of the game’s most dominant weapons went largely unnoticed within the community at the time due to their focus on weapons such as the BP50 and FJX Horus. As a result, it has not received much usage.
If you are a fan of burst guns and don’t mind sacrificing some mobility with this conversion kit, you could easily argue that the JAK Headhunter is the top gun in Modern Warfare 3. It’s only a matter of time before others catch on, so why not stay ahead of the trend and give it a try?
