In FPS, a Shotgun is the weapon of choice for those who enjoy facing their enemies in close-quarter combat. Nevertheless, thanks to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 new Gunsmith 2.0 system, you can easily choose between mobility and damage or range and accuracy. For the Bryson 800 Shotgun — the Mossberg 590 lookalike — these are the two most interesting COD: Modern Warfare 2 Loadout builds that you should try out right now.
1. Long Range One Shot Bryson 800 Loadout
This time, we will refer to YouTuber XVLNGHOST, who has made two rather interesting (and explained in detail) Bryson 800 builds. First up is his Long Range Bryson Loadout, an all-rounder build focusing on attack range and hip fire accuracy. Instead of the more mainstream 18″ Demo Firewall and 21.5″ Bryson Shredder Barrels, using the 29.5″ Rifled Barrel will buff the hip fire completely. Don’t forget to Tune the Attachments, too, to maximize their potential.
Although XVLNGHOST didn’t say anything about which Ammunition you should use, if you’d like, I personally recommend also using the 12 Gauge Explosive. That will increase the weapon’s damage capabilities even more, definitely worth a try. In the COD: Modern Warfare 2 Bryson 800 video above, the Loadout breakdown starts at the 01:15 mark.
Recommended Loadout:
- Muzzle: Bryson Improved Choke (Tuning: Tighter Pellet Spread: -0.13 in / Damage Range: +0.30 in)
- For Suppressor: SA MX-50 / SA Schweigen SX
- Barrel: 29.5″ Rifled Barrel (Tuning: Aim Walking Speed: -0.50 lb / Damage Range: +0.40 in)
- Underbarrel: VX Pineapple / Cronen Grooveshot Grip (Tuning: Hip Recoil Control: -0.80 oz / Hip Fire Accuracy: +0.40 in)
- Stock: Sawed Off Mod
- Guard: Demo X50 Tactical Pump (Tuning: Aim Walking Steadiness: -0.20 lb / Sprint to Fire Speed: -0.22 in)
- Ammunition: 12 Gauge Explosive
2. Mobile and Aggresive Bryson 800 Modern Warfare 2 Build
- For Suppressor: SA MX-50 / SA Schweigen SX
Meanwhile, the second Loadout build is perfect for you who enjoy getting up close and personal. Turning a tactical shotgun into a weird, conceal carry sawed off-lookalike, XVLNGHOST claims that while wielding this gun, you can run as fast as while holding a Knife. But the biggest downside is you’re stuck with only 3 Rounds instead of the usual 6-8 Rounds. However, you should be able to compensate by ambushing enemies and bolting out of the scene as fast as you can. In the COD: Modern Warfare 2 Bryson 800 video above, the Loadout breakdown starts at 9:53 minutes.
- Muzzle: Bryson Improved Choke (Tuning: Tighter Pellet Spread: -0.13 in / Damage Range: +0.30 in)
- Barrel: 8″ XRK CQB Barrel (Tuning: Aim Walking Speed: -0.50 lb / Damage Range: +0.40 in)
- Stock: Sawed Off Mod (Tuning: ADS Speed: -4.00 oz)
