Lockwood 680 Build MW3 – Despite not being the first choice for a shotgun for most players, the Lockwood 680 is still considered one of the best shotguns to have made their way into MW3. Its fame could be its devastating ability to one-shot enemies, but of course, this is also contingent on whether you’ve got the right attachments installed onto it, and if you haven’t, you’ve come to the right place!
In this article, I’ll cover the best loadout and class setup you could have for the Lockwood 680 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023). Keep reading this article till the end!-
Best Lockwood 680 Loadout and Class Setup in MW3

The Lockwood 680 is one of the conventional pump-action shotguns to have made their way into the Call of Duty franchise, and there isn’t anything particularly very different about it. It has a low range and decent reload speed, but you could capitalize on its damage output. With that being said, here’s the best loadout for the Lockwood 680:
Barrel | Bryson Hammer forged long barrel |
Underbarrel | Operator Foregrip |
Stock | Sawed Off Mod |
Bolt | Express Light Bolt |
Muzzle | Bryson Improved Choke |
Given that the range is quite short even for shotguns and the reload speed isn’t something too special, this loadout focuses on maximizing both of these aspects while maintaining the damage output to be still able to one-shot opponents, along with maximizing movement/ADS speeds for agility. Now that you know about the best attachments that you could opt for, here’s the best class setup for the Lockwood 680:
Secondary Weapon
We highly recommend that you pair up the Lockwood with something that has more range and consistent damage output, and the best ones out there, keeping in mind these requirements are the MCW, M13B, Renetti, and Basilisk. These fully automatic weapons can help you have a solid backup in case you need to engage in mid-range combat, where the Lockwood probably won’t suffice. To be able to choose either the MCW or the M13B, which are some of the best assault rifles in the game in this loadout, you’ll need to opt for either the overkill or the gunner vest, and in this case, you could go for either!
Equipment and Perks
For the lethal/tactical throwables, my personal favorite is the Semtex. Place it well, and you’ve got a confirmed kill. Further, a battle rage would help you recover from close-range combat quicker than you normally would. Further, opt for Ordinance gloves as you’ll already have the quick-grip and the command perk from the Overkill vest, which paves the way for the ability to reset timers on thrown-back grenades and an increased range for your throwable equipment.
Further, opting for Covert Sneakers and Ghost T/V Camo would be one of the best choices to make as they’d help you increase your stealthiness while helping you hide from the enemy’s UAVs.
