Expedite 12 Loadout 1

The first loadout will focus more on speed, ADS, and STF. Furthermore, we will also be using attachments to boost the firepower of the close-range gun.

Speed and power are important factors that we will be utilized by choosing the right equipment and attachments. We will also be focusing on mobility to navigate the map and cut through the enemy team effectively. Below are the details of the first loadout.

Stock: Resonance Stock Collapsed
Bolt: Expedite L Bolt
Rear Grip: Schlager Void Grip
Ammunition: 12 Guage Dragon’s Breath
Laser: 1MW Quick Fire Laser Or The STOVL Tac Laser
Muzzle: X10 Full Choke

Features Of The Loadout

Since the loadout will be focusing mainly on speed and mobility, we have kept the attachments suited for these factors as well.

Stock

The Resonance Stock Collapsed that we’ll be using will highly boost and increase your ADS as well as Sprint To Fire speed. Furthermore, it will also facilitate your mobility and movement speed and make Expedite 12 easier to handle.

The Hip Recoil that you will get with the stock will help you out a lot if you want to focus more on your movement. It is important to keep your mobility as high as possible since you will be covering the map a lot while using the shortcut.

Bolt

Also, the grip and laser you will be using are also curated towards increasing your ADS speed. So with these attachments, you are sure never to miss a shot.

The best part about the shotguns in Modern Warfare 2 is that you will be able to customize the bolt according to your needs. For the loadout, we will be using the Expedite L Bolt. The bolt is known for increasing the fire rate of the weapon you are using it with.

Ammunition

Using the bolt, you will be able to deal damage to enemies while keeping a distance. The best part about it is that you won’t lose the effectiveness of the weapon, even if you are a bit out of its range. Next, we have the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath as the ammunition of the shotgun.

For Expedite 12, especially Dragons, breath is the best choice as it will give you a bit of a burn to enemies as well, taking more health out of the enemies as compared to normal bullets.

For laser, we have kept two options and both of them have no downsides to them so you can choose the one that you think fits best your play style. With the laser, you will get good recoil control with improved hipfire accuracy without compromising your speed.

Muzzle

For the muzzle, we highly recommend using the XTEN full choke. the highly powered muzzle can really boost the effectiveness of your shotgun.

Keep in mind that you will not get many ADS with the muzzle. However, the qualities you get with it negate all of its downsides. The damage range with the XTEN full choke is quite good and with Expedite 12 you will be needing all of it since you will be operating at close quarters.

Best Perks And Equipment

Since Expedite 12 excels at short range, it is important to use perks that will complement this feature. You will be needing some of the best perks out there that will utilize the shotgun in the best way possible, especially in close quarters.

Furthermore, you will also need these perks to be able to make use of the shotgun in any situation and game mode. Below are some of the best perks and equipment for Expedite 12.

Perk 1: Double Time
Perk 2: Overkill
Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
Ultimate Perk: Quick Fix
Lethal Equipment: Drill Charge Or Frag Grenades
Tactical Equipment: Stun Grenade Or Snapshot.

Base Perks

Double time is a great perk to consider if you’re looking for Mobility and great movement speed. Furthermore, the overkill perk will allow you to maneuver a second primary weapon that you can swap into whenever you feel like the shotgun is not particularly ideal for that specific situation.

Also, you can try using long-range weapons in order to get some diversity and cover as much range as possible. However, if you are not looking for a secondary weapon to equip then we recommend going for the Tracker perk.

Using it will allow you to see their footstep trail which will give you a huge advantage in knowing the direction of your enemy and getting situational awareness. By choosing the perk you will have to equip a pistol as your secondary weapon and we recommend going for the X12 as it complements the Expedite 12 shotgun very well.

Bonus Perks

For your bonus perk, we highly recommend using Fast Hands which will allow you to switch weapons faster and increase your swapping speed.

For the ultimate perk, you can choose a quick fix. Using the Quick Fix will allow you to get additional health every time you kill an enemy. So not only will you be killing your opponents but also getting an HP boost every time you do so.

Field Upgrades

For lethal equipment, nothing beats the Drill Charge or a Frag Grenade, especially when you are going for a shotgun as your main weapon. Using any of this equipment will help you navigate easily throughout the map while you cut across the enemies. For your Tactical Equipment on the other hand you can go for a Stun Grenade or a Snapshot.

Next, you have your Field Upgrade and Dead Silence is by far the best option for weapons like Expedite 12. In case you want to change your playstyle a bit, you can go for the Thermite Grenade and a Stim Shot for your equipment as well. Stim shot is another item that will help you regenerate your health.

In case you are running low on your health while using the shotgun, using the equipment can help you get back into the battlefield in a matter of seconds. The thermite grenade can help you destroy packs of enemies that are moving in groups.

They are a strategic way of scattering them apart and making them vulnerable, and destroying any flanking opportunities for your enemies.

Expedite 12 Loadout 2

For the second loadout, we will be focusing more on speed, accuracy, and an increased fire rate. However, keep in mind that the recoil control will be compromised, and so will the magazine size. The loadout mentioned below is good for game modes that require you to adapt to a fast-paced play style.

So in case you are looking to use the Expedite 12 shotgun for game modes like Hardpoint, Domination, and team death Match, then we highly recommend going for the loadout mentioned below.

Muzzle: Bryson Improved Choke
Laser: 1MW Quick Fire Laser
Bolt: Expedite L Bolt
Under Barrel: Bruen Warrior Grip
Barrel: 14” Shorty Barrel
