MW3 shotgun shreds through enemies in Warzone and nobody is using it

While the short-range meta in Warzone has been dominated by the C9, Jackal, PPSh, and other SMGs, this shotgun from Modern Warfare 3 can still pack a serious punch while annoying your enemies.

Over the years, different shotgun metas have dominated and frustrated Warzone players in equal measure.

We all remember the “doof doof” meta in Verdansk, with the R9-0 shotgun with Dragon’s Breath Rounds giving opponents absolutely no chance of fighting back.

Now, while shotguns have been brought down to a more balanced level, there are certain builds that still rip through enemies and are incredibly fun if you’re bored of running the same SMGs every game.

Riveter ammo attachment makes it lethal

With the Riveter shotgun, you can do some serious damage, but the ammo type you equip is incredibly important. Here’s the build you’ll want to use:

• Muzzle: Crown Breaker Choke
• Barrel: SA Draven-20 Long Barrel
• Magazine: 30 Round Mag
• Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Sight
• Ammunition: .410 Gauge Ball

The Riveter is one of the most underrated guns in Warzone right now.

As you can see, this is a fairly standard shotty loadout, with a long barrel to improve damage range and an extended magazine, which is vital on any weapon in Warzone.

The most important thing to remember here is that you don’t want to use the Incendiary Rounds, despite this being the go-to on any shotty in previous metas. Instead, you want to use the .410 Gauge Ballammo, which is much easier to control while also increasing damage.

The only attachment here that isn’t necessary is the SL Razorhawk Laser Light, but since we like to utilize Tac Stance, this is the best overall option. Alternatively, you could pick a different laser or a stock that will improve your movement, such as the Demo LTS Stock.

The Riveter is extremely easy to control and has surprisingly solid range for a full-auto shotgun, making it a lethal threat that your opponents won’t have prepared for.
