Shotguns are great for covering short distances in Warzone and the Lockwood 680 is becoming the most popular one. Here’s the best Lockwood 680 loadout for Warzone Season 3 Reloaded.

Warzone’s Season 3 Reloaded update brought a ton of buff and nerfs, which shifted the close-range meta. While SMGs are still the preferred pick for combat up close, powerful Shotguns are great options as well.

The classic pump action Lockwood 680 Shotgun is one of the best, so here’s the best loadout for it to use in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded.

Best Warzone Lockwood 680 loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: XTEN Full Choke
  • Barrel: Bryson Hammerforged Long Barrel
  • Ammunition: 12 Gauge Slug
  • Stock: Sawed Off Mod
  • Laser: Kimura RYL33 Laser Light

For the best Warzone Lockwood 680 loadout attachments, we picked the Bryson Hammerforged Long Barrel bumps up the Shotgun’s bullet velocity, range, ADS speed, and movement.

Then, the XTEN Full Choke Muzzle and 12 Gauge Slug Ammunition combination will grant you slug rounds and improve the damage range and bullet velocity to pick off enemies from further away.

To wrap things up, we’ve got the Sawed Off Mod and Kimura RYL33 Laser Light combo to drastically buff the Lockwood 680’s movement, sprint, and sprint-to-fire speeds, along with the Tac Stance spread. These two make the Shotgun perfect for close-range gunfights.

Best Warzone Lockwood 680 loadout Perks & Equipment

  • Perk 1: Double Time
  • Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
  • Perk 3: Tempered
  • Perk 4: High Alert
  • Lethal Equipment: Semtex
  • Tactical Equipment: Smoke Grenade

Getting the most out of Warzone’s best Lockwood 680 loadout is all about finessing your opponents with speed, so Double Time is a key Perk choice. Then, the Sleight of Hand Perk will come in handy when reloading the Shotgun as the pellets take quite some time to reload.

Tempered and High Alert are two of my favorite picks, increasing survivability, allowing me to reach full health with two plates instead of three, and getting alerts if any enemies are looking my way.

Since the Lockwood 680 is meant to be used in close quarters, the Semtex is great for clearing buildings along with the Smoke Grenade which is great for rotating and escaping challenging situations.
