Best Lockwood 680 loadout for MW3 and Warzone

There is nothing quite like giving an enemy player a shotgun to the face in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. The shotgun is the ultimate close quarters weapon in both titles, and the Lockwood 680 is one of the best in its class.

For those trying to perfect their game, here are the best Lockwood 680 loadouts for both MW3 and Warzone so you can dominate short-range encounters no matter the game or mode.

Best Lockwood 680 loadout for MW3

Modern Warfare 3 is all about smaller-scale maps, compared to battle royale, so the shotgun is an excellent way to do well on them. The best loadout for the Lockwood 680 in MW3 takes full advantage of the strengths of this weapon, while also alleviating some of the weaknesses that hold it back from true greatness.

Here is the Lockwood 680 loadout we recommend players to use in general multiplayer modes:

• Barrel: Bryson Hammerforged Long Barrel
• Underbarrel: Bruen Bastion Angled Grip
• Guard: Matuzek X-ray Skeletonized Guard
• Bolt: Express Light Bolt
• Stock: Sawed-Off Mod

This particular loadout is our favorite and it plays arguably better in multiplayer modes than even battle royale. The Lockwood 680’s main weakness comes from its poor speed compared to the other shotguns in its class. This loadout makes it a bit faster to fire off, in addition to providing that extra bit of range to its shells.

The result is a shotgun that will defeat enemies in a couple of quick shots, with the capability of firing at nearly mid-range. Players won’t know what to think when faced with this shotgun.

On the other hand, Warzone is all about massive, large-scale maps. As such, you want a shotgun that won’t feel like a waste of a weapon slot. Shotguns are tricky to use in battle royale, but they can be excellent short-range companions for a solid sniper or assault rifle class.

Our best Warzone loadout for the Lockwood 680 shotgun turns this beast into a deadly up-close weapon that will dominate short-range fights:

• Laser: Hipshot L20
• Barrel: Lockwood Defender Heavy Long Barrel
• Ammo: 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath
• Bolt: Express Light Bolt
• Stock: Sawed-Off Mod

Even if this loadout is the best one for Warzone, there are some inherent flaws with it. The main problem is that this weapon becomes much more unwieldy in combat. Players will need a considerable level of skill and accuracy to make it work. But if you can overcome its mobility issues, you will be able to blast away at foes with some of the most powerful shells in the game. Foes will go down in a matter of a couple of shots, even with armor on.
