Best Shotguns In Warzone 2
First and foremost, let’s check out each one of the Best WZ 2.0 Shotgun and its optimal loadout setup:
| Shotguns | Loadout/Primary Attachments |
|---|---|
| Expedite 12 | - Muzzle: Bryson Choke - Stock: Resonance Stock Collapsed - Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 - Bolt: Expedite L-Bolt - Laser: Schlager ULO-66 Laser |
| Bryson 800 | - Muzzle: SA Schweigen DX - Barrel: 29.5” Rifled Barrel - Optic: XTEN Angel-40 - Guard: Demo X50 Tactical Pump - Ammunition: 12 Gouge Explosive |
| Lockwood 300 | - Muzzle: XTEN V2.0 Choke - Barrel: Matuzek 812 Barrel - Laser: VLK LZR 7MW - Guard: Buck Pro - Mod: Heist Stock Mod |
Best Expedite 12 Loadout
- Why I chose this: The rapid fire capability prove useful in intense situations.
One of the reasons why I originally wrote the Expedite 12 as one of the best shotguns in the game alongside the Lockwood 300 is because of its overall stats. It has good handling and a high ammo magazine capacity. This weapon should be perfect for players who normally struggle with shotguns.
Below, I will mention all the attachments that I consider perfect for the Expedite 12.
- Muzzle: Bryson Choke
- Stock: Resonance Stock Collapsed
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Bolt: Expedite L-Bolt
- Laser: Schlager ULO-66 Laser
- Fast reloading speed
- Follow up shots
- Decent base damage
- Limited range
- Slow maneuverability
Best Bryson 800 Loadout
- Why I chose this: Anihilate enemies in close range.
As I stated previously, there are only four shotguns in the game right now and with the right attachments, each of these shotguns can gain the upper hand over the other. The loadout I am about to list here can make the Bryson 800 one of the best guns overall for a close-range shootout.
Here are all the attachments I recommend for this weapon.
- Muzzle: SA Schweigen DX
- Barrel: 29.5” Rifled Barrel
- Optic: XTEN Angel-40
- Guard: Demo X50 Tactical Pump
- Ammunition: 12 Gouge Explosive
- Pump-action mechanism
- Better recoil control
- Decent handling and mobility
- Less firepower as compared to meta guns
- Slow mechanism
Best Lockwood 300 Loadout
- Why I chose this: Fierce power in each shot.
It is time for the final shotgun on this list, the Lockwood 300 is considered the best shotgun by many players but as I said previously, it would mainly depend on your loadout and attachments thus here I will be listing all the attachments which I believe are best for this weapon.
- Muzzle: XTEN V2.0 Choke
- Barrel: Matuzek 812 Barrel
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
- Guard: Buck Pro
- Mod: Heist Stock Mod
- Excellent damage and firepower
- Good stature
- One-shot kill capability
- Only effective at close range
- Limites ammo capacity
My Take On Best Shotgun
Shotguns are subjective choice when it comes to competitive matches in Warzone 2. In my opinion, you should only use shotguns in quickmathes or in close combat scenarios only as their performance decreases with increase in range from the target. I have mentioned my best shotgun choices and you can select the one that suits your playstyle. Personally I like to use Expedite 12 when I feel like dominating the opponents with high firepower of shotguns.
That concludes the guide on the Best Shotguns in COD Warzone 2.0 and their loadouts. The game is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC through Steam and Battle Net. Also, I recommend you go through Asad Ahmed’s review on Warzone 2 and check out his in-depth analysis.
