Best Warzone 2.0 Shotgun class loadouts: Attachments, Setup, Perks Shotguns pack a walloping punch yet consistently fly under the radar in Warzone 2. The class is perfect for clearing out buildings or making aggressive pushers, but which are the best? Here\u2019s every shotgun ranked from worst to best. SMGs and akimbo pistols have dominated Warzone 2\u2019s meta. Akimbo pistols fell out of relevancy after the Season 1 Reloaded update, and on February 24, a balancing patch finally nerfed the Fennec 45 into oblivion. The Lachmann Sub (MP5) emerged as everyone\u2019s favorite new short-range option, but the door is wide open for other challengers. Season 2 introduced Warzone 2\u2019s first Resurgence map, Ashika Island. While Al Mazrah\u2019s expansive desert environment hurts shotguns\u2019 viability, Ashika Island perfectly suits up close and personal engagements. If you\u2019re still playing the original BR, you can check out the best shotguns in Warzone Caldera here. If you\u2019ve moved onto the long-awaited sequel, you\u2019re in the right place to find out exactly which Warzone 2 shotguns you should use and why. We\u2019re ranking them all from worst to best and giving you the strongest meta loadout for each. The first number represents the Y axis, and the second corresponds with the X axis for the weapon tuning. 5. Bryson 800 Muzzle: Bryson Choke (+0.07, +0.28) – Laser: VLK LZR 7mW – Stock: XTEN Ripcord Stock (-2.19, -2.09) – Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90 (-0.70, +0.31) – Guard: Demo X50 Tactical Pump (+0.10, -0.16) – The Bryson 800 deals plenty of damage in close-range engagements, but a slow fire rate and reload time keep the weapon from being viable in Warzone 2. Dragon\u2019sood 300 Muzzle: Sakin DB 107 (-0.95, 0.00) – Barrel: 11\u2033 Bryson Special (-0.36,\u201d+0.40) – Laser: Point-G3P 04 – Stock: Heist Stock Mod – Ammunition: 12 Gauge Dragon\u2019s Breath (+0.70, -3.60) – Fans of Modern Warfare 2019 will be familiar with the Lockwood 300. The weapon was an absolute nuisance, but it\u2019s a different story in Warzone 2. Shotguns don\u2019t one-shot-kill fully armored players, so a painstakingly slow reload speed makes this a weapon to avoid. 3. Bryson 890 Muzzle: Bryson Improved Choke – Barrel: 18\u2033 Demo Firewall (+0.31, +0.37) – Laser: Point-G3P 04 – Stock: Sawed Off Mod – Guard: Demo Dropzone Pump (0.00, -0.17) – If you like the Bryson 800 but can\u2019t overcome its shortcomings, the Bryson 890 is a better version. The weapon has a detachable magazine, which makes reloading faster, but we don\u2019t suggest choosing this weapon over other options. 2. Expedite 12 Barrel: 18.5\u2033 Battlemaster (+0.26, +0.40) – Laser: Point-G3P 04 – Stock: Bryson Reverb-55 Stock (-2.84, +1.47) – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 (+0.67, -0.32) – Bolt: Expedite L-Bolt – Recoil can be a slight issue while using the Expedite 12, but if you are able to control your shots, the Expedite 12 is an excellent close-range option. The semi-automatic shotgun fires faster than its pump action counterparts, yet it still deals enough damage to be extremely viable in most short engagements. 1. KV Broadside Barrel: Gunner D20 (0.00, +0.34) – Bolt: Dashbolt 60 – Stock: VLK Stockless – Ammunition: 12 Guage Dragon\u2019s Breath (+0.50, 0.00) – Magazine: 25 Shell Drum – Season 2 introduced the KV Broadside, which is far and away the best shotgun in Warzone 2. YouTuber JGOD broke down Warzone 2\u2019s best close-ranged weapons and explained why the Broadisde is \u201cbroken.\u201d The shotgun can two-shot killing enemies thanks to Dragon\u2019s Breath rounds, and its sub 300 ms TTK is one of the best for any weapon. That rounds off the best SMGs in Warzone 2.0 right now. Be sure to check back in the future because as the meta shifts, so will this list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
