A YouTuber pulled off an insane 39-second V2 Rocket in Vanguard with this shotgun loadout that is guaranteed to run Das Haus for a long time.

The V2 Rocket is the top killstreak in CoD: Vanguard. It requires 25 straight gun kills, so while you need to be a decent player to earn one, you’ll also need a little bit of luck and a powerful loadout that can help you on the way.

While guns like the MP40 and STG dominate the Vanguard meta, some other weapons are starting to break the mold.

That’s where the Combat Shotgun steps in — and it’s an absolutely dominant force, as shown off by this insanely fast V2 Rocket on Das Haus.

CoD YouTuber Crakrz earns his V2 Rocket in just 39 seconds, sat comfortably in the enemy spawn on Das Haus, mowing them down in one shot each with the Combat Shotty.

Here’s the Combat Shotgun loadout he used to earn the V2 Rocket:

  • Muzzle: M97 Full Choke
  • Barrel: Sawed Off
  • Stock: CGC 3M Adjustable
  • Underbarrel: SMLE Pistol Grip
  • Magazine: 16 Gauge 10 Rnd Mags
  • Ammo Type: Buck and Slug
  • Rear Grip: Stippled Grip
  • Proficiency: Vital
  • Kit: Quick

This Combat Shotgun loadout can easily rack up the killstreaks.

This loadout relies on the weapon’s good mobility and control, with powerful magazines that can take out opponents in just one shot each. Pair that with a pretty quick reload time and the Vital proficiency for some extra damage, and you’ll be mowing down opponents as quickly as you like.

What’s scary is that Crakrz could’ve had an even faster V2 Rocket if he hadn’t placed a tactical insertion at the start of the game. It goes without saying, though, that 39 seconds is going to be an incredibly hard record to beat.
