In the adrenaline-fueled Battle Royale mode of Call of Duty: Warzone, weapon selection and customized loadouts play crucial roles in influencing victory. One such formidable weapon is the shotgun-class 'Lockwood 300.' Despite falling in the D Tier, indicating it is not part of the dominating 'Meta' or widely used by players, the Lockwood 300 brings unique properties that can be leveraged in certain scenarios with the aid of an adept loadout.
Despite a slight reduction in ADS Speed and a minor increase in recoil due to the Bryson Series XII Choke, it majorly reduces the hip fire spread providing a substantial advantage in close quarters combat, offering each shot a better chance at hitting the target.
Supplementing your shotgun with the Matuzek 812 Barrel brings significant boosts to your Damage Range and Bullet Velocity making the Lockwood 300 a more potent weapon. Although it leads to slower Movement Speed and widened Hip Fire Spread Radius, the increase in range and velocity make engagements slightly away from close quarters viable.
Lockwood 300’s effectiveness sees an uplift with the addition of VLK LZR 7MW, as it enhances the ADS Speed of the weapon, allowing players to target the enemy swiftly and land more shots accurately.
Even though the Heist Stock Mod increases the Vertical and Horizontal Recoil of the weapon, it also significantly enhances the ADS Speed and reduces the Hip Fire Spread Radius. This makes the Lockwood 300 more agile in engaging targets.
The Lockwood 300 together with this particular loadout offers substantial improvements to the hip fire spread, damage range, and bullet velocity. It is well-equipped to be potent in close to mid-range firefights.
However, negatives include increased recoil and slightly slower ADS speed. The adapted Lockwood 300 also faces challenges in long-range engagements and against stronger META weapons.
As a closing thought, it's evident that while the Lockwood 300 doesn't belong to the Meta, with a meticulously crafted loadout, it can be a formidable weapon in the Warzone, especially in tightly packed urban environments. Leverage the hip fire advantage and improved bullet velocity this loadout offers to overpower adversaries in heated Battle Royale matches.
