.410 Gauge Ball

• Barrel: Adjudicator Long Barrel
• Stock: DAV15 Light Tactical Stock
• Rear Grip: XTEN Grip
• Ammunition: .410 Gauge Ball
• Magazine: 30 Round Mag
• Perks - Bomb Squad, Overkill, Fast Hands, Ghost
• Equipment - Sticky Grenade, Smoke Grenade

The main damage increase comes from the Adjudicator Long Barrel and the .40 Gauge Ball. In addition to the firepower improvements, the ammunition also improves hip-fire accuracy and recoil control.

The DAV 15 Light Tactical Stock gives you lightning-fast reaction times and faster aim-down sight speed if you feel like firing the Riveter from the hip isn't having the desired effect.

Arguably the star of the show is the 30 Round Mag. The last thing you need is the magazine running empty when unleashing a barrage of shells so this huge magazine allows you to deal with multiple targets before having to take cover and reload.

Best Warzone Riveter Attachments

Here's the list of the attachments that you should pick for the Riveter to improve its reach, recoil control, speed, and more.

• Barrel: Adjudicator Long Barrel
• Stock: DAV15 Light Tactical Stock
• Rear Grip: XTEN Grip
• Ammunition: .410 Gauge Ball
• Magazine: 30 Round Mag

Best Warzone Riveter perks and equipment

Now that we've got the attachments down, you'll want to make the most of your Riveter with the use of perks and equipment. Check out all the intel we have for the perks you should choose for the shotgun.

Perks

• Base: Bomb Squad
• Base: Overkill
• Bonus: Fast Hands
• Ultimate: Ghost

Choosing the Bomb Squad perk is a smart addition to the loadout, as it reduces damage from explosives that are bound to head your way during a match.

Overkill allows you to carry two primary weapons, and Fast Hands facilitates easy swapping between them. This works well if you want to have a smaller weapon to switch to during mid-to-long-range encounters.

Lastly, Ghost as the ultimate perk ensures you remain undetectable by sensors, giving you the element of surprise to attack your opponents.

Equipment

• Lethal: Sticky Grenade
• Tactical: Smoke grenade

Smoke Grenades can hinder the sight of your enemies, leaving them blind when you drop in the sticky grenade to cause some real damage. This is when you step in with the fully automatic Riveter, and finish them off with ease.

Is the Warzone Riveter meta?

With the right loadout, the Riveter in Warzone can be a decent choice for a shotgun, but it falls short in stopping power when you compare it to the other shotguns in the game. Take a look at the Lockwood 300, for example. Thus, the Riveter might not make it to the meta list, but it still delivers a noteworthy performance if you're after an off-meta alternative.
