Rating of the best shotguns Modern Warfare 2

4. Lockwood 300

In fourth place is the Lockwood 300, the Modern Warfare 2 version of the popular 725 from MW2019. While the weapon has high damage and decent range for a shotgun, the ammo limit holds it back.

Players with great accuracy and patience to hit the perfect distance can definitely enjoy this shotgun, but two rounds isn’t enough to push it higher in the rankings, especially when there are multiple enemies to hit.

3. Bryson 800

The Bryson 800 is one of the most reliable shotguns in Modern Warfare 2, as it has the second highest damage, accuracy, and range in the category. With a 9-round magazine, this shotgun is great for dealing with multiple enemies, especially if you’re in the right position.

The shotgun also has a lot of customization options and can be built for both short and medium range. The only downside is that the rate of fire is the lowest in the class, so you have to shoot.

2. Bryson 890

Similar to the Bryson 800, but with a magazine that drastically increases the reload time of the shotgun. The Bryson 890 comes in second due to its reliability in terms of damage and range, as well as its extreme versatility.

1. Expedite 12 is the best shotgun in Modern Warfare 2

Our pick for the best shotgun in Modern Warfare 2 is the Expedite 12. This shotgun resembles the Model 860 from MW2019, with great rate of fire, damage, and handling.

This shotgun doubles down on enemies with ease, and with its versatility, you can easily boost its stats with the right attachments, including range and reduced shot spread for more damage.
