3. Lockwood 680

Once the best Shotgun in Warzone, the Lockwood 680 remains a popular option within the category due to its excellent mobility and damage output. Contrary to its counterparts, the Lockwood 680 is more of a hip-fire Shotgun, which could limit its popularity.

However, this gun will allow you to clear buildings with ease and straight-up dominate in close quarters.

2. Haymaker

Following the introduction of the JAK Maglift Kit Aftermarket Part, the Haymaker became the best Shotgun in Warzone. However, that didn’t last long as the KV Broadside’s AMP eventually outclassed the Haymaker’s.

Despite not being number one, the Haymaker remains a great option for close-range combat. Much like MW 2019’s Origin 12, players who love Shotguns are still relying on the Haymaker given its huge magazine, high damage output, and rapid fire rate.

1. KV Broadside – Best Shotgun in Warzone

Thanks to the JAK Jawbreaker Aftermarket Part, the KV Broadside has claimed the title of best Shotgun in Warzone. This attachment available through Week 2 Weekly Challenges turns the KV Broadside into an automatic Battle Rifle.

While the best Shotgun in Warzone is technically a Shotgun after the Conversion Kit is applied, the JAK Jawbreaker Broadside is still meant to be used like a close-range Shotgun to take advantage of its damage output.

Those were the best Shotguns to use in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded. For more on the game, be sure to check out our other guides:
