Best Expedite 12 loadout in Warzone 2

Here’s the best Expedite 12 loadout in Warzone 2:

The Expedite 12 is thebest Shotgun in Warzone 2in our opinion, because of its good handling stats, high magazine capacity, and generally forgiving nature. We don’t want to mess with any of those traits too much, so our Expedite 12 build focuses purely on extending the range and tightening the spread, as well as boosting the gun’s fire rate and mobility as much as possible.

Our Expedite 12 build boosts range and increases the fire rate to make it hit harder and faster from a longer distance.

It may take a while to unlock, but adding aBryson Chokeonto the Expedite 12’s Muzzle is an extremely good idea. It significantly tightens the pellet spread, allowing you to land lethal shots at startling ranges for a Shotgun.

The next most important attachment is theResonance Stock Collapsed, which greatly improves your mobility while using the Expedite 12, allowing you to play very aggressively and outmanoeuvre your enemies. Combine this with theFTAC Ripper 56, which substantially boosts hipfire accuracy, and you’ll be able to drop enemies with barely any warning at all.

TheSchlager ULO-66 Laseradds a minor boost to your hipfire accuracy and hip recoil control, and comes with no downsides, so it’s an ideal pick for the Expedite 12 here. And finally, the uniqueExpedite L-Boltattachment increases the Expedite 12’s fire rate, allowing you to take follow-up shots more quickly and deal with multiple adversaries more effectively.

With these five attachments applied, the Expedite 12 becomes a near-unstoppable killing machine. It’s deadly accurate for a Shotgun, and can be fired very accurately from the hip, meaning you don’t need to aim down sights much at all at your ideal range. There are few weapons more effective when it comes to saving your life at near-melee ranges.

The Expedite 12 handily deals with the close-range part of your class setup, so you’ll need to pair it with a longer-ranged weapon to create a truly well-rounded Expedite 12 build. We’d highly recommend either theSTB 556or theM4. Both these guns are among thebest Assault Rifles in Warzone 2at the moment, and are versatile enough to deal with threats at both mid and long range.

If you want a loadout that focuses more on closer-range engagements and staying on the move, then you could pick theKastov-74Uinstead for a hard-hitting and fast-handling Assault Rifle alternative. Another option would be theFSS Hurricane, which tops our list of thebest SMGs in Warzone 2thanks to its extreme accuracy and long range for a Submachine Gun.
