The Lockwood 300 is a double-barrel break-action Shotgun in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It packs a serious punch and can take down enemies easily with just one shot at close ranges. The longer barrels ensure a tight pellet spread, which results in almost all the pellets from a shell hitting the target. This deals a lot of damage instantaneously.
Moreover, unlike most other Shotguns in the game, it boasts a high damage range, where Shotguns usually fail to deliver impressive results. However, the Lockwood 300 isn't without its faults.
For instance, it can only shoot two shells at a time. This can be challenging, especially in scenarios where players are surrounded by a lot of enemies.
With that said, this guide will take a closer look at the best Lockwood 300 loadout in Modern Warfare 2, along with the most effective Perks, Equipment, and more.
Lockwood 300 best class setup in Modern Warfare 2
The Lockwood 300, being a Shotgun, is suited for close-range combat. Hence, if you are planning on using the weapon, you will need secondaries that can assist you in getting the most out of it.
For this purpose, you can pick two very different weapons. First of all, you can pick a Riot Shield as your secondary. It will protect you from being shot in the back and allow you to get up close to your adversaries.
Secondly, if Riot Shield isn't your cup of tea, you can pick the FTAC Siege or the X13 Auto pistol. Since these two pistols can be used as an SMG, they will help you take fights at ranges where the Shotgun falters.
For the Perk Package, you must equip Overkill in the first slot if you are going with the Riot Shield. If not, you can pick Bomb Squad. In the second slot, you can pick Battle Hardened. As for the Bonus and Ultimate Perks, you can equip Fast Hands and Ghost or Quick Fix.
When it comes to the Equipment, it is advised to go with the Stun Grenades in the Tactical slot and a Throwing Knife or Semtex in the Lethal slot.
