With the highly anticipated launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 less than 15 days away, Warzone developers have introduced some highly controversial weapons causing chaos in the lobbies. While the current meta still revolves around the unstoppable DTIR 30-06 and Static-HV combination, two new outsider weapons have emerged. They are making waves: an akimbo fire shotgun setup and an electrical shotgun launcher. Yes, you read that correctly!

The first of these is the Reclaimer 18, already considered strong in single-gun setups. It brings to mind the playstyle of the MOG from Blackout. However, things have taken a wild turn with the introduction of a new aftermarket part called the JAK Devastators, a conversion kit that enables an akimbo shotgun setup—meaning one shotgun in each hand. Paired with a higher fire rate and incendiary ammunition, this loadout has become one of the most toxic combos in the game. If you’re looking to dominate close-quarters combat, here’s the best loadout for the Reclaimer 18 akimbo setup:

Best Reclaimer 18 Akimbo Loadout:

• Muzzle: Bryson Choke
• Laser: STOVL Tac Laser
• Rear Grip: Center Mass Grip Tape
• Ammunition: 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath
• Conversion Kit: JAK Devastators

This loadout maximizes damage, accuracy, and close-range control, turning you into a walking menace. Pair the fire breath ammo with the dual-wielding setup, and you’ll melt enemies faster than they can react.

The second weapon shaking things up is the Stormender, with the JAK Voltstorm conversion kit. The Stormender is technically a launcher, but the Voltstorm turns it into something much more terrifying. This attachment unleashes electrical charges capable of one-shotting enemies and can even damage multiple opponents if they are close enough together. The downside? You’ll need to charge it, and it’s only effective at close range. The further your enemies are, the less damage it deals, and its slow fire rate makes it a riskier choice for mid-range engagements.

Best Stormender Loadout:

• Conversion Kit: JAK Voltstorm

While the Voltstorm is undeniably powerful in close quarters, it requires precision timing due to its charge mechanic, and it’s far less effective at longer distances. However, if used correctly, it can absolutely decimate enemy squads in small areas.

These two new shotguns have certainly stirred up a frenzy in Warzone as we await the release of Black Ops 6. Will they maintain their dominance post-launch? Only time will tell, but for now, they are the weapons to beat in Warzone lobbies.
