3. Riveter
Activision
The Riveter is Warzone’s best automatic Shotgun.
There isn’t a huge gap from the top two spots that places Warzone’s Riveter in third place, and in many ways, it’s just as reliable a close-range automatic weapon in Warzone.
This Shotgun melts enemies when equipped with the right attachments. It has great damage and very low recoil, which makes it easy to use. In addition, it has fantastic mobility so you can make your way across any Resurgence map with ease.
2. Haymaker
Activision
The Haymaker Shotgun arrived with MW3’s integration.
Warzone’s Haymaker Shotgun has managed to maintain its popularity in Season 1 Reloaded given its damage values. Similar to the Origin 12 in the previous Warzone iteration, players who love Shotguns are still relying on Haymaker for close-range battles across all of Warzone’s maps.
1. Lockwood 680 – Best Shotgun in Warzone
Activision
The Lockwood 680 remains the best Shotgun within Warzone Season 1 Reloaded.
The Lockwood 680 is the best Shotgun in Warzone Season 1 Reloaded thanks to its excellent mobility and damage output. The previously number one Lockwood 300 received a big nerf to its best attachments, and the Lockwood 680 was primed to take its place.
Contrary to the Lockwood 300, the Lockwood 680 is more of a hip-fire Shotgun weapon. It will allow you to clear buildings with ease and straight-up dominate in close quarters.
Well, there you have it. Those were the best Shotguns to use in Warzone Season 1 Reloaded.
