Now that Overkill is a default perk in Warzone‘s integration with MW3, running a capable secondary is a must. Thankfully, MW3’s shotguns fill that void, with the Lockwood 680 a standout.
Of the three new shotguns in MW3, the Lockwood 680 boasts the best-in-class damage: an incredible boon in close-quarters encounters. You’ll want to maximize your close-quarters damage and mobility.
Thankfully, we’ve got you covered with a top-tier Lockwood 680 loadout so you can dominate in Warzone’s Season 4 Reloaded.
Best Lockwood 680 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: Crown Breaker Choke
- Barrel: Lockwood Defender Heavy Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: Bruen Bastion Angled Grip
- Stock: Sawed Off Mod
- Bolt: Express Light Bolt
With this loadout, you’ll want to help make this shotgun more mobile and still maintain its power. The Sawed Off Mod will help with that, adding some recoil to each shot but bringing faster ADS Speed and focusing the hipefire spread.
The Crown Breaker Choke is here to offer you a tighter spread to your shots so that you can land them from a greater distance. This will be further aided by the Lockwood Defender Heavy Long Barrel that offers greater recoil control, aiming sway, bullet velocity, and damage range.
Not only does the Bruen Bastion Angled Grip underbarrel increase your Sprint-to-Fire speed, but it also helps your recoil by providing a 4% reduction to vertical recoil and a reduction of 2% to horizontal.
Rounding out the Lockwood 680, the Express Light Bolt will slightly increase your rechambering speed, which correlates to a better firing rate.
