Shotguns pack a major punch in Warzone Season 1, as they're really effective in close combat situations. The Combat Shotgun is no exception, with its vintage look and compact size making it super impactful even at medium range.
While the gun is already powerful, there are a host of attachments you can add in order to narrow the spread of impact while stabilising its jittery recoil.

It can take a little while to unlock these attachments for the Combat Shotgun, but these features help stabilise and direct your bullets.
- Muzzle: M97 Full Choke
- Barrel: Sawed-off
- Optic: G16 2.5x

The M97 Full Choke's ability to focus the spread of bullets complements the Sawed-off attachment's aspect of widening the impact of pellets. These components allow for greater precision and stronger impact when hitting enemies.
Mobility associated with the Combat Shotgun's movement and sprint speed is amplified through the CGC 2M Wire. Coupling this with the SMLE Pistol Grip, the accuracy of your weapon at hipfire is also improved.
Packed Powder adds extra force to your shots. While recoil is slightly increased, the Fabric Rear Grip helps stabilise the shotgun.

With the attachments on the Combat Shotgun amplifying its close-ranged capabilitues, the following attachments will help take advantage of these features further.
- Perk 1: E.O.D.
- Perk 2: Overkill
- Perk 3: Amped
E.O.D. will reduce the impact from explosive projectiles and grenades. This makes the weapon ideal to use when facing off groups of peeople in tight areas, especially towards the end of the game when the action gets hectic.
Complement the combat shotgun with another primary weapon through the Overkill perk. Amped allows you to quickly switch between weapons, so you're ready in long-range and close-combat scenarios.
- Lethal: Proximity Mine
- Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor
If you're suddenly underfire and you need to escape intense situations, a Proximity Mine will protect your six. While the ever-reliable Heartbeat Sensor will help pluck out nearby enemies to storm.
Is The Combat Shotgun Good in Warzone?
The Combat Shotgun is an ideal weapon to have in close-quarter situations, such as storming buildings and rooms. If you're nearing the end of the game, you'll want the Combat Shotgun by your side. But, make sure to couple the shotgun with a more long-range rifle like the Kar98k or even an SMG like the AUG.
