As part of the new Season 2 update for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and Modern Warfare 2, Activision has added a new shotgun called the KV Broadside. This shotgun is available for free to all players and is actually competitive in terms of the close-range meta. As always, there’s no shortage of ways to build this particular weapon due to all of the different attachment options. With that in mind, which loadouts are the best?

These are the best Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 KV Broadside builds, as well as how to use them.

Recommended loadout:

Barrel Gunner D20
Ammunition 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath
Magazine 25 Shell Drum
Stock VLK Stockless
Bolt Dashbolt 60

When it comes to the best KV Broadside build for Warzone 2.0, one specific setup is better than the rest. This one can consistently down opponents in two shots, which is absurd and will likely get patched.

Start by using the Gunner D20 Barrel for improved damage range, bullet velocity, hip fire accuracy, and recoil control. This will help you secure more eliminations from afar. Next, you’ll want to use the weapon’s secret sauce, the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath Ammunition. This adds incendiary damage to all pellets, helping you secure eliminations more consistently.

Since this build is for Warzone 2.0, we recommend utilizing the 25 Shell Drum Magazine, giving you plenty of rounds to take down multiple foes at once. In addition, the VLK Stockless Stock comes in handy, boosting your aim down sights (ADS) speed, sprint-to-fire speed, overall mobility, and hip recoil control. Finalize the build with the Dashbolt 60 Bolt for an increased fire rate, making it easier to win close-range gunfights.

Recommended loadout:

Muzzle Bryson Improved Choke
Barrel Range Twelve
Laser 7mw Canted Laser
Stock VLK Stockless
Rear Grip True-Tac Grip

As for the Modern Warfare 2 build, you’ll want to focus on maximizing range and sprint-to-fire speeds, without totally ruining your mobility.

Kick things off with the Bryson Improved Choke Muzzle, giving you a tighter pellet spread and increased damage range. Speaking of which, we also recommend the Range Twelve Barrel, for yet another boost to damage range, along with improved hip fire accuracy, and bullet velocity.

Next, we advise using the 7mw Canted Laser, which improves your aiming stability, ADS speed, and sprint-to-fire speed. Follow that up with the VLK Stockless Stock, giving you even faster ADS times, better sprint-to-fire speeds, a movement increase, and improved hip recoil control. Finalize the build with the True-Tac Grip Rear Grip, which improves ADS and sprint-to-fire speed yet again.

The best weapons in Modern Warfare 2: every gun ranked
Soldiers running in Modern Warfare II.

Your performance in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2  has a lot to do with the weapon you come equipped with. Sure, a skilled player can excel with most weapons in the game, but having the best firearm for any given situation will lead you to more victories -- regardless of your playstyle. Modern Warfare 2 has around 50 primary weapons across seven categories, each with different stats, strengths, and weaknesses.

The meta in Call of Duty games shifts constantly as weapons are added and tweaked, so it's always a good idea to stay on top of the latest updates. In this guide, we'll rank each primary weapon in Modern Warfare 2  across all categories (with the exception of the Riot Shield). This ranking is in descending order, with the first spot being the best and the last spot being the worst. We'll also link to loadout guides for the weapons on this list so you know exactly which attachments to use.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has seemingly leaked thanks to Monster
Five main characters from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.

It looks like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III will be the title of this year's Call of Duty game. Following several leaks, including an undeniable one connected to Monster Energy, a joking tweet from the official Call of Duty Twitter account appears to confirm that this is true.
Leaks suggesting that 2023's Call of Duty game is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III have existed for months, but ramped up recently. On July 17, the Call of Duty Twitter account put up tweets asking if Operators, weapons, and bundles from Modern Warfare II should carry over to this year's game and teasing that a big reveal would happen alongside the unveiling of Season 5. Later that day, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier stated that this is a Sledgehammer Games-led project that started as an expansion and morphed into a full game.
Then, Monday morning, images of Monster Energy promotional materials connected to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III emerged on Twitter, giving us confirmation of the name and our first look at the game's logo.

A leak like this is pretty difficult to deny, so Activision decided to play along with it. "Whew. Mondays," the official Call of Duty account tweeted. "Anyone have an energy drink they can spare?"
While not a traditional, explicit announcement, this tweet confirms the validity of the Monster Energy leak and affirms that this year's Call of Duty will be a direct follow-up to 2022's Modern Warfare II. Now, we'll just have to wait and see when Activision decides to officially reveal more about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III itself. 
Because it's not officially announced yet, we don't know what Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III's release date or launch platforms are. Still, it's likely that it will launch across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox sometime this October or November after Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition closes.

You’re probably using the wrong close-range Warzone weapon

Following the Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 Reloaded update, players have flocked to various close-range weapons, including the Lachmann Sub, the FSS Hurricane, or the ISO 45. However, these close-range weapons pale in comparison to the X13 Auto, a sidearm that has found its way to the top of the close-range meta.

The beauty of this weapon is that, not only does it take down your foes faster than any SMG in the game, but it also doesn't require the use of the Overkill perk, as it's just a sidearm. But how exactly should you build the X13 Auto? Here's a recommended loadout, which focuses on practicality up-close. Just use it while you still can, as it may not last long.
