Best Lockwood 300 Modern Warfare 2 loadout

• Barrel: Matuzek 812 Barrel
• Stock: Heist Stock Mod
• Underbarrel: Agent Grip
• Laser: Point-G3P 04
• Muzzle: Bryson Series IX Choke

While the Lockwood 300 is undeniably powerful, recoil and mobility do let the weapon down when it has no attachments committed to it. This is why we recommend using the Heist Stock Mod. It increases your movement speed and general handling along with your hipfire recoil control helping you deal more accurate damage when it really matters.

Another attachment that aids in your speed and handling is the Agent Grip. This underbarrel boosts your hipfire accuracy which is the primary way you’ll want to fire this Shotgun.

Since you’ll primarily want to hipfire the Lockwood 300, one of the best attachments you can add is the Point-G3P 04. It may have a visible laser but that increase in sprint-to-fire and hipfire accuracy will be a game-changer no matter the obvious laser.

Lastly, while the Lockwood 300 is powerful, you still need to use some attachments that increase the damage range and the spread of your bullets. Both the Matuzek 812 Barrel and the Bryson Series IX Choke will keep that Pellet Spread close and clean while also increasing your damage range. Together they will ensure you take down the enemy quickly and without any mistakes.

Best Lockwood 300 class: Perks & equipment

• Base Perk 1: Tracker
• Base Perk 2: Overkill
• Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
• Ultimate Perk: High Alert
• Lethal: Throwing Knife
• Tactical: Stun Grenades

When it comes to perks for a Shotgun class, it’s important you get the drop on the enemy. Anyone coming at you with an SMG will take you down if you don’t shoot first. That’s why we’ve gone for Tracker and Overkill. Tracker will let you follow the enemy from behind and Overkill will allow you to change to a faster weapon if needed.

Following on from Tracker and Overkill, we’ve complimented the two perks with Fast Hands and High Alert. Fast Hands works with Overkill and lets you reload and change weapons quickly. High Alert will let you know if an enemy is looking at you meaning you’ll have a better chance to shoot first.

Lastly, for the equipment, we recommend using Stun Grenades and Throwing Knives. Stuns will confuse the enemy and allow you to get those all-important shots in while the Throwing Knives are there to give you a last quick element of damage before reloading.

Best alternatives to Lockwood 300 in Modern Warfare 2

Since unlocking the Lockwood 300 does require you to level up to a relatively high level, you can always try one of the earlier shotguns available like the Bryson 800. It’s strong, effective, and capable of dominating the battlefield with the right user.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little more ranged, try out the MCPR-300. It’s a powerful sniper rifle and will encourage you to step out of the action for a little while, getting you to pick off the enemy from afar.
