Best Modern Warfare 3 Lockwood 300 attachments

With the gunsmith containing a wealth of attachments for the Lockwood 300, we've found a set of five attachments that dominate close-quarters combat.

• Barrel: 597mm Matuzek Inferno
• Laser: Pro Sapphire Cylindrical Laser
• Stock: Bryson Natural Series Stock
• Underbarrel: XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop
• Ammunition: 12 Gauge Dragon's Breath

The 597mm Matuzek Inferno barrel ensures you can eliminate a target with a single shell thanks to improvements in bullet velocity. Paired with 12 Gauge Dragon's Breath ammunition and it's very easy to deal huge amounts of damage with this particular shotgun.

The kick of the Lockwood 300 can be off-putting, which is where the XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop and the Bryson Natural Series Stock come into their own. The Handstop reduces recoil to more controllable levels while the Stock decreases aiming sway, allowing you to keep focused on the target.

Best Modern Warfare 3 Lockwood 300 perks and equipment

After selecting the best Lockwood 300 attachments are ready to rumble, don't forget to choose a set of perks, equipment, and a field upgrade is the next step to building the strongest loadout. Here's what we recommend using during Pre-Season.

Perks

• Vest: Overkill
• Gloves: Assault
• Gear: EOD Padding
• Boots: Covert Sneakers

Overkill provides significant improvements to weapon mobility, enhancing swap speed along with the ability to reload while sprinting. Next are assault gloves which provide a boost to accuracy and aim-down sight speed while jumping which is ideal if you like to jumpshot to throw the enemy off-guard.

For additional protection, EOD padding is our Gear of choice. Extra resistance to non-killstreak explosives proves invaluable when you're in amongst the action looking to extend your spree. Lastly, Covert Sneakers silence your footsteps, giving you the perfect opportunity to sprint around the map without alerting other players to your location.

Equipment

• Lethal: Drill Charge
• Tactical: Flash Grenade

Drill charges are incredibly useful if you're looking to breach and clear a building during a match. Throw it at the wall and watch it burrow through and deal damage to anyone on the other side of the wall.

Flash grenades are also hugely effective in close-quarters engagements. The flash allows you to get closer and eliminate the target with minimal interference.
