Warzone Season 3 Reloaded Shotgun Rankings
S Tier
Alone in the S Tier is the JAK-12, which ultimately isn't saying much since shotguns are just not as effective in Warzone as they are in Vanguard multiplayer at the moment. The JAK-12 also just received a 20% damage nerf, making it even less of a surefire option up close against SMGs like the Type 100 and Armaguerra 43.
A Tier
- Streetsweeper
In A Tier at the start of Season 3 Reloaded is the Streetsweeper, which serves as a clear alternative to the JAK-12. A true problem back in its heyday, the Streetsweeper also saw its damage reduced by 20% with the new update.
B Tier
- Combat Shotgun
- Gallo SA12
- Double Barrel
In the B Tier are a handful of shotguns that remain solid but could still use a slight buff in order for more players to seriously consider using them. These options have a proven track record of being decent, but will likely be nothing to write home about throughout the Warzone Pacific era moving forward. The lone exception here, however, could be the Combat Shotgun. Unlike just about all the other shotguns that got nerfed in the new update, the Combat Shotgun received a nice variety of buffs.
C Tier
- 725
- Hauer 77
- Model 680
- Origin 12 Shotgun
- R9-0 Shotgun
- VLK Rogue
- .410 Ironhide
- Einhorn Revolving
- Gracey Auto
Lastly, these C Tier shotguns have been behind in the pack for far too long and are not close to having a place in the meta.
