Ever wondered what the M4 would look like if it was loaded with shotgun shells? The Riveter is exactly the outcome of that thought inย Call of Duty: MW3! It’s not a super meta weapon, but if you get into a close-quarter 1v1 or 1v2 situation,ย The Riveterย is your best friend in yourย MW3ย orย Warzoneย loadout. And that won’t stop Riveter from shining, by the way, as you can turn this shotgun into an assault rifle!
Best Riveter Loadout
- Rear Grip: Harrow Palmerst Grip
- Barrel: JCX-L Suppressed Barrel
- Underbarrel: Kimura Ryn-03 Vertical Grip
- Stock: Demo LTS Stock
- Laser: Stovl DR Laser Box
The Riveter is one of those special weapons that have a barrel attachment with an integral suppressor. Theย JCX-L Suppressed Barrelย is the gift that we should use for double working as a suppressor and a barrel that increases both bullet velocity and damage range. After that, useย Demo LTS Stockย for mobility andย Stovl DR Laser Boxย for accuracy.
The following two attachments are also for decreasing the amount of gun kick and recoil the Riveter has. Theย Kimura Ryn-03ย is one of the best options for reducing the vertical recoil without wasting a muzzle on this Riveter loadout inย Warzoneย andย MW3. Theย Harrow Palmerest Gripย is a solid option for overall recoil control and stability of your weapon.
Riveter AR Class in Warzone and MW3
- Barrel: JCX-L Suppressed Barrel
- Underbarrel: Kimura-03 Vertical Grip
- Ammunition: .410 Gauge Slug Shells
- Magazine: 30-Round Mag
- Optic: Mk.3 Reflector
This loadout is somehow the same as the previous one. However, three of the attachments have changed to turn this shotgun into an AR. The secret of changing this shotgun’s format is by using .410 Gauge Slug Shells, preventing the bullet from spreading and making it harder to shoot in hip fire. The other addition is the 30-Round Magazine. And finally, there’s the Mk.3 Reflector optic, which you’ll need because the ordinary iron sight will be covered with smoke after shooting only two rounds.
Now remember that when you use the slug rounds on the shotguns, they’ll lose their accuracy on hip fire. So, if you want to do more accurate shots in close-range fights, switch to the tactical stance inย Warzoneย andย MW3.
Perks and Gear
Second Weapon:
- Bas-B
Perks:
- Sleight of Hand
- Double Time
- Tracker
- Resolute
For the best Riveter Loadout, you need the best perks as well. First, the Sleight of Hand is the top choice here, allowing for faster reloading and weapon switch. Then we’ve got the Double Time perk, which is essential for rushing through the buildings with a shotgun in your hands.
Getting shot from the targets benefits you with the speed boost you get by the Resolute perk. And for the final option, the Tracker tier 2 perk aids you in stalking the escaping enemies.
As for your secondary weapon, Bas-B has proven to be a solid choice by most players in Season 1. The Riveter can be a good AR support in this loadout, and it’s best used for close-range combat as a shotgun should be.
