Call of Duty: Warzone has a long history of powerful shotguns that have defined the meta, and the KV Broadside is the latest to join that list.

The shotgun that entered the fray with Warzone’s season two immediately inserted itself into the meta thanks to a specific set of attachments that make it a weapon you must level up to play in certain modes.

The KV Broadside is the shotgun of the Kastov weapon platform in MW2 and Warzone, meaning it’s a distant cousin of the AK-47. That kind of assault rifle’s power put into the body and receiver of a shotgun has the potential to be a serious menace, especially in a mode like Resurgence on the Ashika Island map.

Here’s the best set of attachments for the most annoying shotgun in Warzone battle royale, a favorite in season four after a recent buff.

Why this is the best KV Broadside loadout in Warzone

The KV Broadside is the prototypical fast-firing, room-clearing shotgun, similar to the Jak-12 in the previous Modern Warfare game. It has a high fire rate and big damage potential, and it can be turned into a street sweeper with the right attachments in the Gunsmith.

You’ve likely already been killed by a loadout similar, as the KV Broadside fire shotgun loadout has become powerful on Ashika Island. This is similar to the one that players use to spray enemies with fire and listen to them burn like a taquito left too long in the toaster oven.

This shotgun has massive potential for Vondel, Warzone’s new Resurgence map. The small-scale location is rife with areas where the KV Broadside can wreak havoc inside buildings and corridors.

These attachments will noticeably buff the KV Broadside’s damage, range, and accuracy, allowing you to deal some pretty serious damage from a longer distance than a shotgun probably should.

With a shotgun like this, you want to be up close and personal as much as possible. Double Time and Battle Hardened will help with that, and Fast Hands will help with keeping you on the move instead of slowing down while throwing equipment or swapping guns.

Best equipment for KV Broadside in Warzone

  • Tactical: Stun grenade
  • Lethal: Throwing Knife

If you really want to mess up a building camper’s day, stun them and then bum-rush them with the KV Broadside, ready to spray and pray with the shotgun’s high fire rate. They won’t have much say on the matter. That’s when you can use a throwing knife to finish the job from a distance.
