Best Meta Shotgun Loadout in MW3 Warzone Season 2

Despite a recent nerf, the best meta shotgun loadout in MW3 Warzone Season 2 remains unchanged from the previous season.

So far, Call of Duty: Warzone Season 2 has lived up to the hype. Not only is Fortune's Keep, one of the best Resurgence maps of all time, back in the game, but Ranked Resurgence also launched, giving fans their first chance to reach Top 250 on the beloved map. As players work their way through the eight Skill Divisions, they will find serious competition that requires them to be at their absolute best. One of the easiest ways to ensure a high kill win on Fortune's Keep is to equip meta loadouts for all ranges, including the most OP shotgun in the game.

The best meta shotgun in MW3 Warzone Season 2 is still the Lockwood 680. Although the weapon received a nerf to its mid damage, it is still the most elite shotgun in Warzone. If you are looking for up-close eliminations on Fortune's Keep or Urzikstan, then the Lockwood 680 is the weapon for you.

Warzone content creator, Sally Is a Dog, showed off his Lockwood 680 loadout in a recent YouTube video. Check out his build below.

• Barrel: Lockwood Defender Heavy Long Barrel
• Muzzle: Bryson Improved Choke
• Guard: Matuzek Xray Skeletonized Guard
• Bolt: Express Light Bolt
• Stock: XTEN Tactical Match

"There is a gun out there that no one is really talking about," Sally Is a Dog says. "It's very good. It's very broken." Not only is the damage on the Lockwood 680 OP in close-range engagements, but the weapon's mobility allows players to "move around so fast that nobody can hit you."

Although the Lockwood 680 can no longer one-shot enemies after its recent nerf, it is still the go-to shotgun in both Battle Royale and Resurgence.
