Modern Warfare 2's Expedite 12 is a powerful weapon for close-quarter combat

The Expedite 12 is a new addition to the family of Call of Duty guns and is a powerful weapon for close-quarter combat. However, there is a heavy damage drop off, making it weaker for middle to long-range firefights. It is currently the only shotgun available in the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.

With the right attachments, this pump-action shotgun is a beast to fight with. Here is the best loadout for Expedite 12:

• Muzzle - Bryson Improved Choke
• Underbarrel - VX Pineapple
• Rear Grip - Schlager Fang Grip
• Bolt - Expedite L-Bolt
• Stock - FSS Frame Stock

This is the optimum build currently available for Expedite 12 for maximum potential in close-quarter shoot-outs in Modern Warfare 2.

To mitigate some of the issues with range, a Bryson Improved Choke can be used for a muzzle, which provides a tighter pellet spread and a higher damage range. Most issues with a shotgun come from the range and with further range, pellet spread is generally thinner. Hence, it becomes a great addition for a wider range of attacks.

For the underbarrel, the VX Pineapple is the perfect attachment for the Expedite 12, with additional hip fire accuracy, hip recoil control, recoil steadiness, and aim walking steadiness. This gives control over this generally unwieldy weapon.

Shotgun recoil is massive in most Call of Duty games and the VX Pineapple helps negate all of its downsides along with great precision in Modern Warfare 2. Paired with the rear grip, the Schlager Fang Grip gives a boost to recoil control.

For bolt, it is highly recommended to use the Expedite L-Bolt, which gives a faster fire rate generally lacking in shotguns. Especially for Expedite-12, this allows one to move from one target to another without much downtime between shots.

Lastly, here is the FSS Fram Stock for the gun stock attachment. This gives a huge boost to aim walking speed and sprint speed. This delivers great movement to be used with a powerful shotgun as close-quarter combat requires quick movement.
