Shotguns dominated Vanguard's early cycle, and after disappearing following a large nerf, it appears that they have returned. Shotguns have been running wild, thanks to tiny map playlists. Shotguns are certainly entertaining, but they are also quite powerful. However, while shotguns may not every player's preferred loadout, this Double Barrel Shotgun has become a favourite among many.

  • Muzzle: M97 Full Choke

  • Barrel: LJ-18 Defender

  • Optic: G16 2.5x

  • Stock: Removed Stock

  • Underbarrel: N/A *Blocked by Akimbo*

  • Magazine: None

  • Ammo Type: Incendiary

  • Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip

  • Proficiency: Akimbo

  • Kit: Quick

The M97 Full Choke muzzle and LJ-18 Defender barrel work together to enhance range and power. With a longer barrel, you'll be able to target remote foes. Meanwhile, the G16 2.5x optic will improve accuracy and recoil management.

The Removed Stock will increase your sprint-to-fire and mobility speed. This will allow you to play quickly with the Double Barrel. The Pine Tar Grip is recommended over the Fabric Grip for improved recoil control and hip fire accuracy.

Because both alternatives have weapon-ruining drawbacks, you should keep the magazine attachment slot unfilled for this loadout to function effectively at a distance. To maximum damage, use incendiary ammunition.

Finally, this loadout is based on the Akimbo Proficiency's dual-wield feature. While the Quick Kit will increase your sprint speed.

What are the best perks with a double-barrel shotgun in Call of Duty Vanguard?

Perk 1: Ninja or Ghost

In the first perk slot, players can select either Ghost or Ninja. Ninja will allow you to get up close and personal with your opponents, which is ideal while using a shotgun. With the extra range of the Double Barrel, gamers may confidently choose Ghost.

Perk 2: Forward Intel

Forward Intel will provide all the information you need to stay one step ahead of your opponent. This loadout maximises speed, and Forward Intel helps by allowing you to reach your enemy's spawn location as rapidly as possible.

Perk 3: Lightweight

This will result in extraordinarily fast movement speed. Overkill can be used to use something other than a Shotgun as your sole Primary Weapon.

How to unlock the double-barrel shotgun in Call of Duty Vanguard?

Unfortunately, the Double Barrel Shotgun is the most difficult to get for Vanguard players. At Level 49, players obtain the Double Barrel as the fourth Shotgun of four. Reaching to level 49 can be a hassle for players as it means endless competitive matches.

However, small map playlists are an excellent method to level up your Shotgun. On tiny maps like Dome, Das Haus, and Shipment, shotguns are very useful since they provide close range handcore damage.
