Best KV Broadside loadout and attachments in MW2
- Barrel: Gunner D20
- Muzzle: SA Schweigen DX
- Bolt: Dashbolt 60
- Ammunition: 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath
- Magazine: 25 Shell Drum
The KV Broadside became a strong close-range weapon in Modern Warfare 2’s meta, especially on small Resurgence maps. Our loadout focuses on attachments that enhance speed and increase the Broadside’s destructive force.
For damage, the SA Schweigen DX muzzle significantly boosts bullet speed, range, and reduces recoil. Also, using the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath ammo amps up the Shotgun’s strength, allowing you to take down players really fast.
Using the Dashbolt 60 bolt will make the weapon shoot faster, allowing you to fire rapidly. As for the barrel, the Gunner D20 is a crucial attachment. It significantly improves damage range, bullet speed, hip fire accuracy, and recoil handling. Lastly, the 25 Shell Drum magazine provides ample bullets to take down multiple enemies.
Best KV Broadside perks and equipment in MW2
- Base Perk 1: Double Time
- Base Perk 2: Overkill
- Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
- Ultimate Perk: Ghost
- Tactical: Flash Grenade
- Lethal: Semtex
In this loadout, we’ve chosen Double Time and Overkill to combine the Shotgun with a long-range weapon like the RPK.
Fast Hands ensures quick reloads and faster weapon switch, which is important due to Overkill. Ghost will mainly shield you from enemy UAVs, providing additional defense against the Killstreak.
The Flash Grenade and Semtex combo continues to be a top choice in Modern Warfare 2, causing confusion and dealing extra damage to opponents.

Best Weapons To Pair With The KV Broadside
SP-R 208 Marksman Rifle
Unless you’re exceptionally comfortable with MW2’s map layout, you’ll need some long-range firepower to balance out the Broadside. Advancing on an opponent’s position is all well and good, but the SP-R will allow you to engage without having to get the drop on the opposing team.
Basilisk Handgun
For players that don’t want to waste a perk slot on Overkill, the Basilisk provides excellent one-shot stopping power and performs as an effective sidearm.
