Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Best Renetti Loadouts (2024)

The Renetti is a three-round burst sidearm introduced in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Its fast fire rate and minimal recoil make it an excellent backup option for when your primary weapon runs out of ammo. Alternatively, you can also use MW3's updated Gunsmith system to morph this weapon into a fast-firing SMG.

Thanks to the Aftermarket Parts system, the Renetti is the perfect weapon for virtually every playstyle. From a backup quickdraw pistol to a secondary SMG, this guide will showcase two of the best Renetti builds in MW3 that excel in any loadout across all of Modern Warfare 3's various game modes.

Updated May 31, 2024, by Charles Burgar: The Renetti has received a new conversion kit in MW3's fourth season, turning the weapon into the classic M9 pistol. We've updated this guide to include a build guide for the JAK Intimidator Kit. We've also updated the SMG build to include some more recent MW3 attachments.

Stealth Renetti Build

Since the Renetti is already a fairly accurate pistol, the best way to upgrade it as a one-handed weapon is through stealth and fastdraw attachments. The Renetti Wood Grain Grip allows you to instantly equip this weapon, making it an excellent backup weapon for when you need to reload. As for stealth, we use the HMRES Mod Suppressor to stay off the radar while firing.

Weapon lethality is the next thing we upgrade, using the Bruen Express trigger to improve the Renetti's RPM, the MK2 Renetti Long Barrel to consistently two-burst at 20 meters, and the 24 Round Mag to make multikills easier to achieve.

All of these attachments make the Renetti a reliable two-burst at close and medium distances. As long as you aim centermass, you should be able to land two-burst kills from up to 20m away. All of this comes at the cost of recoil control, but the Renetti is so accurate out of the box that it's hardly noticeable in multiplayer matches. This will impact the Renetti's performance in Ground War and Warzone, however, so don't use this weapon at long range.

Loadout Recommendations

A suppressed Renetti goes well with any stealthy loadout, preferably one using as many stealth perks as possible. The Engineer Vest is ideal for this, as it grants you a second gear perk and double the Tactical uses per life. Covert Sneakers will completely remove your character's footstep audio to make flanking easier. Pair this with Ghost to stay off enemy radar while moving. The second gear perk is up to you. For gloves, use Marksman Gloves to reduce incoming flinch while aiming your weapons, including the Renetti.

As for equipment, you'll want to use any rifle with good accuracy and low damage falloff. Most assault rifles and battle rifles are ideal here. Anything that can kill enemies past 20m will work perfectly with the Renetti. For your Tactical, we recommend Battle Rage. This item will give you six seconds of infinite tactical sprint, tactical equipment resistance, and a slightly weaker version of Quick Fix. You get two of these per life, so be sure to use them.

For your Field Upgrade, we prefer the Trophy System and A.C.S. depending on the game type. The A.C.S. is perfect for capturing objectives, while the Trophy System counters enemy equipment in all modes, especially objective modes like Hardpoint.

JAK Intimidator Renetti Build

The JAK Intimidator Kit turns the Renetti into a semi-auto pistol, sacrificing fire rate for raw damage. Unfortunately, you can't adjust the trigger on the Renetti with this kit installed, so it's more or less inferior to the Cor-45. Regardless, this build aims to make the Renetti as reliable as possible through investments in range and swap speed.

Our main priority is to extend the weapon's three-hit kill range. To do that, we use the Sonic Suppressor, Renetti Long Barrel, and High Grain Rounds. We then use a Wood Grain Grip to give the weapon a fastdraw animation, making it a reliable backup pistol for Multiplayer.

Loadout Recommendations

We suggest the same loadout as our stealth build. Run Ghost to stay off the minimap, Covert Sneakers to muffle your foosteps, and your favorite equipment. The rest of the perks and vest are down to preference.

Carbine Renetti Build

It turns out that the Renetti is secretly one of MW3's best SMGs. Thanks to the Jak Ferocity Carbine Kit, you can turn the Renetti into a 855 RPM SMG that fits in your secondary slot. Accuracy and speed suffer greatly with this conversion kit, however, so we'll need to use the rest of the Renetti's attachment slots to fix this. For that, we use the Ravage-8 Stock and the Zehmn35 Compensator Flash Hider to greatly reduce the weapon's recoil.

Visual recoil is still an issue with the default iron sights, so we recommend using your favorite optic. Finally, we use the 50 Round Drum to buff the gun's pitiful 15-round magazine. The smaller magazines have the same movement penalties as the drum mag, so you might as well use the largest one. Stick to medium range firefights, and you should have no issue landing multikills with this gun. Treat it as an SMG, not as a pistol.

Loadout Recommendations

We are recommending the same loadout as the previous build since the carbine version covers similar bases. Bear in mind that you don't have a suppressor, so you will appear on the minimap whenever you shoot. If you want to change this, you can replace the muzzle flash attachment for your choice of silencer. The rest of the kit remains the same.

Covert Sneakers and Ghost make it easy to flank targets, while the Marksman Gloves give you an edge in duels by greatly reducing incoming flinch. Use Battle Rage of Stims for your Tactical, and use Field Upgrades like the Trophy System or A.C.S. for objective game types.
