Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III – Season One Reloaded — Rio Top 10 Tips

Ranged battles outside, CQB inside. Generally, longer-ranged Loadouts perform best on the perimeter, while close-ranged Loadouts perform best inside the Mall. Keep this in mind when considering your Loadout and the Loadout of the enemy you're likely to encounter across the map.
Quick on your feet. Consider equipping the Stalker Boots when fighting along the map's perimeter. A good portion of your engagements will take place on flat ground, so the extra strafing and ADS speed will come in handy when attempting to evade enemy shots.
Two mall rats are better than one. Holding down the Mall for any length of time is a tall order, even more so when defending an objective or attempting to lock down the area. Bring a teammate when possible to help split up the defense work by covering multiple angles of entry at once.
Caught on film. The Tactical Camera Field Upgrade offers a valuable means of monitoring key pathways near your position, whether that's watching for enemies on your six in the covered walkway, tracking the street behind you, or gaining another set of eyes in the Mall.
Through the roof. The rooftop over the center of the Mall is made up of large glass windowpanes, making it possible to land aerial attacks on those within. Use this to attack enemies on objective points there, catching them in the blast or forcing them to move off the point.
Just browsing. You don't have to go straight for the center when moving through the Mall. The entryways in the north and south are also useful for crossing the building horizontally to get from street to street, whether to evade a pesky enemy, benefit from overhead protection, or use as another route in your map toolbox.
Stay mobile with Tac-Stance. Feeling hindered when entering the Mall with a mid-to-long-ranged weapon in hand? Toggle on Tac-Stance for greater mobility and faster target acquisition.
Decoy up. Initiative is a major advantage when fighting within the Mall's confined layout. Throw enemies off with the Inflatable Decoy Field Upgrade; place it somewhere prominent and then land the elimination on Operators tricked into attacking it on sight.
No, you don't. Equip the Signal Jammer Perk to disrupt enemy Claymores and other proximity-based explosives. You've got enough to worry about when traversing the Mall, and this will allow you to keep your eyes ahead of you instead of checking for dangers planted on the floor.
Shop till they drop. Can't break the enemy's stronghold on the Mall? Let them have it. Work with your team to set up around the perimeter, covering the various entryways into and out of the area. Let them come to you and blast them the moment they step out of the building.
