With the Warzone meta continuously evolving, we\u2019ve seen several weapons become \u201cmust-haves\u201d in the Call of Duty battle royale. Shotguns have had their time in the spotlight, dominating various seasons throughout the game\u2019s duration and even today the close-range weapons are still a force to be reckoned with if you\u2019ve got the right loadout. Whether you\u2019re still uninitiated to the Shotgun club, or looking to see what your other options are, they\u2019re all pretty solid. Let\u2019s take a look at which Shotgun loadouts are best and how they pair with the strongest Assault Rifles as this combination will make you lethal across all ranges and gunfights. 6. Streetsweeper Best Streetsweeper loadout in Warzone Muzzle: Agency Choke &#8211; Barrel: 14.4\u201d Task Force &#8211; Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight &#8211; Stock: Marathon Stock &#8211; Ammunition: STANAG 18 RND &#8211; At one time in Warzone, the Streetsweeper was an absolute howitzer of a weapon that would simply destroy an opponent if they got too close. The key feature of the Streetsweeper is that it\u2019s a full-auto Shotgun. This means you can just hold down the trigger and pump shell after shell in no time at all. Obviously, this comes at a cost, as you\u2019ll definitely want to add a bigger magazine attachment to reduce the gun\u2019s pretty severe reload speeds. That\u2019s not to say it\u2019s not a viable option as with the right setup this Shotgun is still a worthy addition to any good loadout. 5. Origin 12 Best Origin 12 loadout in Warzone Muzzle: Choke &#8211; Barrel: FORCE Tac Impaler &#8211; Laser: 5mW Laser &#8211; Stock: No Stock &#8211; Ammunition: 12 Round Mags &#8211; If you\u2019re looking for a non-Dragon\u2019s Breath ammo shotgun, this Origin loadout is still a pretty good one to go for. It\u2019s got a great amount of damage behind it and can easily take enemies out in 3-4 shots, just simply aim straight and spam the trigger. It was nerfed as time went on but that shouldn\u2019t deter you if you\u2019re looking for something different to try. If you\u2019re looking for a standard Shotgun without a fiery flair, you can\u2019t look past the Origin on your way to some huge Warzone victories. 4. Best R9-0 loadout in Warzone Best R9-0 loadout in Warzone Muzzle: Choke &#8211; Barrel: FORGE TAC Sentry &#8211; Laser: 5mW Laser &#8211; Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip &#8211; Ammunition: Dragon\u2019s Breath Rounds &#8211; The R9-0 was arguably the most effective shotgun in Warzone for a long time and it packs one hell of a punch and comes with an extremely fast fire rate. However, one of its strongest features comes through as an ammo attachment. Dragon\u2019s Breath Rounds deal more damage than the usual ammunition, lighting enemies on fire and causing a burn effect over time. Despite heavy nerfs, it\u2019s still a great go-to option when it comes to Shotgun loadouts. 3. JAK-12 Best JAK-12 Warzone loadout Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder &#8211; Barrel: ZLR J-3600 TORRENT &#8211; Laser: 5mW Laser &#8211; Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip &#8211; Ammunition: 8-R Dragon\u2019s Breath &#8211; The infamous AA-12 dominated players back in Modern Warfare 2, so it makes sense that this iconic Shotgun is a decent pick in Warzone. After all, having a shotgun with decent range is always going to be a bonus for any player looking to increase their kill potential. This punchy loadout is all about maxing out the Shotgun\u2019s range, allowing you to take out squads outside of traditional close-quarter fights. The fully-automatic shots will also enable you to quickly shred through even the tankiest foes. 2. Gallo SA12 Best Gallo SA12 loadout for Warzone Barrel: 21.4\u201d Reinforced Heavy &#8211; Muzzle: Duckbill Choke &#8211; Body: SWAT 5MW Laser Sight &#8211; Magazine: STANAG 12 Round Tube &#8211; Stock: Wire Stock &#8211; If played much of Black Ops Cold War at all, you\u2019ll know that its Shotgun options weren\u2019t quite as powerful or varied as the original Modern Warfare selections. However, it is still worth your time to level up the Gallo SA12 in Cold War because of the Warzone integration. It\u2019s undeniably one of the stronger options in the battle royale today, the clear frontrunner, for now, providing one of the most well-rounded options in the Shotgun category. 1. Model 680 Best Model 680 Warzone loadout Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder &#8211; Barrel: XRK 30.0\u2033 Sport &#8211; Laser: 5mW Laser &#8211; Stock: No Stock &#8211; Ammunition: Dragon\u2019s Breath Rounds &#8211; The pump-action nature of the Model 680 and its avoidance of nerfs over the last few years have secretly made it the best Shotgun option to use and one of the best weapons in CoD Warzone. If you do wish to give this Shotgun a go, then you\u2019ll absolutely want to utilize this loadout as it\u2019ll turn it into an undisputed beast. Not only does it bolster your movement speed, but it also increases the gun\u2019s damage range and overall effectiveness \u2013 making it the best Shotgun in Warzone. So there you have it, our top recommendations for Shotguns in Warzone. With these extremely powerful setups, you\u2019ll be dropping foes in the blink of an eye at close range.
