The holiday season has arrived and that means so too will come the Christmas noobs in Call of Duty.

Just like there’s a new CoD game every year, there’s always a slew of noobs who will be receiving the new game in their stocking for the holidays. That’s good for them, but it’s great for you, especially in Modern Warfare 3 now that it’s time to slay Christmas noobs.

If you want to take advantage of the lower-skilled players learning how to play the game, then we’ve got some good loadouts and classes for you to make them reconsider asking Santa for the game this year.

Here’s our list of the best loadouts to slay Christmas noobs in CoD.

If you want to farm some new players over the holidays so badly that they wish they could go back to work or school early, these are the best builds to do it with.

  • Barrel: 16.5″ MCW Cyclone Long Barrel
  • Optic: Slate Reflector or MK. 23 Reflector

This loadout is just plain dominant if you’re a fan of assault rifles. Those little kids who just had their day made by Santa Claus will just as quickly have their day ruined as you gun them down from long range with this MCW loadout.

The noobs won’t know what hit them if you use this class in MW3 multiplayer over the holiday break.

Tip:

This loadout doesn’t have much recoil to speak of, so feel free to use MW3’s advanced movement mechanics.

  • Barrel: Wyvern’s Respite Long Barrel
  • Stock: FSS Ravager-45 stock
  • Underbarrel: SL Skeletal Vertical Grip
  • Magazine: 30 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: D37 Grip

Don’t let this weapon’s class fool you. This is just a big, heavy assault rifle with dominating power.

One of the best guns in the early days of MW3, the BAS-B needs a 30-round mag to make it viable as a weapon.

  • Tactical: Stun Grenade
  • Lethal: Semtex
