How to unlock MX Guardian Shotgun in Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 Reloaded

The MX Guardian Shotgun can be unlocked in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 by completing an unlock challenge that requires players to get 30 point blank Operator kills with Shotguns.

This can be done fairly easily on Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer, especially on smaller maps such as Shipment and Shoothouse. Just head into the Shipment 24/7 playlist with a Shotgun loadout and try and get as close to the enemy as you can to secure a point-blank kill.

The MX Guardian’s unlock challenge is fairly straightforward.

If you’re wondering whether or not the MX Guardian is worth the hassle in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, check out the devs’ official description of it:

“If pump and double-action Shotguns are designed for greater range and accuracy, the full-auto MX Guardian is here to dish out damage up close,” said the blog. “Operators who challenge the MX Guardian within its effective range without taking cover should think twice; countering this new tool means getting out of its effective range or going full fisticuffs with a Riot Shield or Melee weapon.”

That was everything you need to know about how to unlock the MX Guardian Shotgun in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.
