Former Call of Duty League pro Colt “Havok” McLendon recently reached the No. 1 overall rank in MW3 Ranked Play and shared the classes that helped him get there.
After competing in the 2023 CDL season with the Florida Mutineers, Havok transitioned into creating content full-time. The move went off without a hitch as Havok is constantly one of the most-watched MW3 streamers on Twitch, and his pro skills translated seamlessly to Ranked Play.
Ranked Play went live on Jan. 18, yet Havok already has over 800 wins according to his stat counter on Twitch, and has reached the highest possible rank in the Top 250. Some of that success can be attributed to the powerful builds he created.

For Search and Destroy matches, we recommend a few alternative options. Covert Sneakers make your footsteps almost silent, which will be handy for sneaking around enemy territory. Next, SnD is the only mode that allows the use of Smoke Grenades, and they can be used to escape a gunfight, or safely plant or defuse a bomb.
Lastly, Covert Sneakers don’t make your operator completely silent, but Dead Silence provides extra stealth for SnD matches.
