To achieve the best Warzone Haymaker loadout, I picked the XTEN Modified Choke and Bruen Bastion Angled Grip combo to improve the damage range, hipfire spread, firing aim stability, and get a tighter pellet spread, which is perfect to secure every shot lands on the enemy.

The No Stock Mod is a massive enhancement to mobility, as it boosts sprint to fire, movement, ADS, and aim walking speeds. The Imperator Long Barrel will further improve the Shotgun’s range and bullet velocity.
