What is the best Warzone Lockwood 680 loadout?

  • Muzzle: SR70 TAQ Brake
  • Barrel: Bryson Hammerforged Long Barrel
  • Stock: FSS Watchman
  • Guard: Demo X40 Tactical Pump
  • Perks - Bomb Squad, Double Time, Fast Hands, High Alert
  • Equipment - Semtex, Flash Grenade

The slight increase in damage comes from the Bryson Hammerforged Long Barrel, which minimises any damage drop-off you may experience when scoring a kill that's just out of the one-shot-kill range.

For maximum recoil control, the combination of FSS Watchman stock and SR70 TAQ Brake muzzle is the way to go. The lack of kick allows you to maintain accuracy in those hectic close-range battles that can go either way.

Lastly, the Demo X40 Tactical Pump enhances aim-down sight speed, allowing you to react quickly to anyone who makes their way into your crosshairs.

With the right perks and equipment, you can make the most of your Lockwood 680. If you're having a hard time with which ones to choose, you can take a look at our recommendations below.

Perks

  • Base: Bomb Squad
  • Base: Double Time
  • Bonus: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate: High Alert

Bomb Squad is a great perk to use with the Lockwood 680 as it provides crucial defence against incoming explosives during gameplay. Choosing Fast Hands guarantees a rapid weapon swap so that you can swiftly transition between various weapons depending on the scenario.

Next in line is the High Alert perk which triggers a yellow border on your HUD when an opponent detects you from a position beyond your line of sight. The other base perk you should get is Double Time, which serves to prolong the Tactical Sprint duration. This will prove to be advantageous for efficient navigation on larger maps such as Urzikstan.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Flash Grenade

Semtex and Flash Grenade work great with each other, especially when you time it just right. Drop in the Flash Grenade to disorient your enemies, toss the Semtex to deal as much damage as possible, and finish the fight with your Lockwood 680.

Is the Warzone Lockwood 680 meta?

If you build your loadout correctly, the Lockwood 680 can be a great choice for close-range action. Despite this, its lack of versatility means the shotgun falls short at longer distances. Assault rifles typically dominate the meta, but if future maps force players into confined spaces, the Lockwood 680 may find itself becoming a pillar of the meta.

That's everything you need to know on how to build the best Warzone Lockwood 680 loadout. Now that you have a better idea of how to use this gun, go out there in Warzone and use it!
