Best Modern Warfare 2 Lockwood 300 loadout attachments

• Barrel: Matuzek 812 Barrel
• Laser: VLK LZR 7mw
• Stock: Heist Stock Mod
• Guard: Buck-Pro
• Ammunition: 12 Gauge Slug

The key to dominating with the Modern Warfare 2 Lockwood 300 is making the most out of its 2-round magazine. It’s the weapon’s biggest weakness, but you can account for it with some of the best attachments.

Instead of leaning on hip-fire as you would with other Modern Warfare 2 shotguns, you’ll look to aim down sight with the Lockwood 300. Therefore, the Buck-Pro, VLK LZR 7mw, and Heist Stock Mod are essential and the latter also boosts movement speed on top of ADS speed.

The Matuzek 812 Barrel is invaluable as it provides an increase in recoil control, bullet velocity, and damage range, and most importantly, it tightens the pellet spread. You’ll want to equip the 12 Gauge Slug, which will make the Lockwood 300’s damage and bullet velocity skyrocket, allowing you to secure plenty of one-shot kills.

Best Perks & Equipment for Modern Warfare 2 Lockwood 300 loadout

• Base Perk 1: Overkill
• Base Perk 2: Double Time
• Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
• Ultimate Perk: Ghost
• Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade
• Lethal Equipment: Semtex
• Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

We recommend using Overkill to pair the Lockwood 300 with a versatile Primary weapon to cover your engagements outside of its damage range. Of course, if you plan on solely running around with the Lockwood 300, you can switch Overkill for Bomb Squad.

Fast Hands is imperative as you’ll constantly have to reload with the Lockwood 300, given that its chamber only holds two rounds. Ghost will keep you hidden once the Ultimate Perk activates, allowing you to get the drop on your enemies.

In a similar fashion, Dead Silence will allow you to get up close and personal with enemies within the Lockwood 300’s deadly range. The Semtex and Flash Grenade combination continues to be a strong one to disorient opponents.

Best Lockwood 300 alternatives in Modern Warfare 2

If you’re looking to stay within the Shotgun category then the Expedite 12 is one of the best in Modern Warfare 2. It’s certainly as versatile a Shotgun as you can utilize with its great mobility, range, and damage output.

Otherwise, Modern Warfare 2’s best SMGs also excel in close-quarters combat, and the Vaznev-9k and Lachmann Sub are two of the best.
