Searching for the best Lockwood 300 loadout in Modern Warfare 2? You’ve come to the right place. Season 5 is currently underway and it comes packed with new weapons, maps and operator bundles.
While methodical, long-range gameplay proves an effective strategy, you can wreak absolute havoc with a well-specced close-range weapon. That’s what shotguns – and the Lockwood 300 in particular – are for in MW2. Before we dive in, check out the MW2 and Warzone Season 5 weapons list.
Best Lockwood 300 Loadout and attachment
- Receiver: Lockwood 725
- Muzzle: Sakin DB107
- Barrel: 711mm Matuzek D50
- Laser: STOVL Tac Laser
- Stock: Heist Stock Mod
- Underbarrel: VX Pineapple
Starting off with the Heist Stock Mod attachment, this significantly enhances the weapon’s speed. However, it comes at the expense of aiming stability and flinch resistance. So be ready for a run-and-gun playstyle with this Lockwood 300 configuration, as that’s where it excels.
On the other hand, the 711mm Matuzek D50 barrel attachment will enhance the weapon’s damage range and provide a more concentrated pellet spread than the standard setup. As a result, you’ll be capable of engaging enemies at slightly longer distances. The Sakin DB107 muzzle attachment further enhances these attributes while also offering sound suppression, which can be quite beneficial when engaging enemies in the back lines.
To sum up the loadout section, we must discuss the STOVL Tac Laser attachment. This will enhance hipfire recoil control and accuracy, significantly improving your effectiveness at close ranges. Also, the VX Pineapple underbarrel attachment complements this even more, enabling smoother hipfiring even at slightly greater distances.
Best Lockwood 300 Perks & Equipment
| Recommended Perks | Alternatives |
|---|---|
| Overkill | Basic Perk: Tracker |
| Fast Hands | Bonus Perk: Hardline |
| Ultimate Perk: Quick Fix |
Overkill
When wielding a weapon that is highly specialized for a single range, it can pay to bring along another main weapon as a backup. While it is certainly possible to go all-in on rushing down opponents and letting both barrels of the Lockwood do their work, your loadout will be more balanced overall with the aid of Overkill and a weapon tuned to long range.
Fast Hands
The Fast Hands perk will further increase the flexibility of your loadout, allowing you to reload and swap between weapons incredibly quickly. This reduces the chances of you being outmatched in a firefight the Lockwood is ill-equipped for.
Best weapons to pair with Lockwood 300 in MW2
M16
A well-tuned Assault Rifle, capable of putting out short bursts of deadly, accurate damage. The M16’s mid-longe range capabilities shore up the most significant holes in the Lockwood 300’s skillset.
LM-S
Another long-range damage dealer that will allow you to drop enemies at greater ranges than even an upgraded Lockwood 300 is capable of.
