Best Lockwood MK2 MW3 loadout attachments

Recommended build:

  • Laser: Verdant Hook Cylindrical Laser
  • Conversion Kit/Aftermarket Part: JAK Wardens

It might seem too little, but the combination of these two attachments will make the Lockwood MK2 overpowered in MW3. Providing you with the potential to one-shot any enemies, you must shoot one shotgun at a time for maximum accuracy. If you go wild with this akimbo loadout, chances are, you will regret it. Stay sharp, and keep a steady trigger finger for best results.

The Verdant Hook Cylindrical Laser will improve your general accuracy and provide you with boosted hip-fire accuracy bonus. Meanwhile, the JAK Wardens Kit is essential to convert this loadout from a standard Lockwood build to an akimbo setup.

The Lockwood MK2 has a fantastic rate of fire and very fast ADS speed. However, it does lack power when compared to other shotguns. With our build, you will find that an akimbo setup will help you rule over all close-quarter builds, demolishing any player that dares to step in front of you.
