There is an ocean of weapons and loadouts in Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 and sometimes it can be pretty hard for players to know every piece of equipment. What is even harder is that with different patches, metas change in the game, so different Warzone weapons and loadouts become more powerful and popular. Some weapons get very powerful buffs that players who actively follow the patch notes and know the game equip them right away. Below, you will find everything you need to know about Reclaimer 18 in Warzone and Modern Warfare 3!

Best Reclaimer 18 loadout for Warzone

In Warzone, the Reclaimer 18 shines with a setup that enhances both power and control. Here's what you need to equip:

  • Muzzle: Xten Modified Choke
  • Barrel: Discourager 900 Heavy Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Bastion Angled Grip
  • Stock: Hinge LAF Light Stock
  • Rear Grip: Center Mass Grip Tape

This loadout aims to improve your shotgun's range and accuracy. The Xten Modified Choke increases your damage range and makes your shots tighter. This means you can hit targets farther away, but it will take a bit longer to aim and control the gun’s recoil.

The Discourager 900 Heavy Barrel adds 15% more damage range. It also makes bullets fly faster and improves handling. The Bruen Bastion Angled Grip helps with accuracy, especially when shooting without aiming through the sights. It makes the gun steadier both while moving and standing still.

The Hinge LAF Light Stock makes the shotgun easier to carry and faster to aim. The Center Mass Grip Tape reduces the time it takes to shoot after running. It also helps you aim faster after sprinting.

In combat, use the pump action mode for precise shots. If you're facing multiple enemies, switch to semi-auto mode to shoot continuously. You can also use Dragon’s Breath or Slug Ammunition to increase range and firepower.

Best Reclaimer 18 loadout for MW3

In MW3, the game moves fast, so your Reclaimer 18 needs to match that speed. Here's the optimal loadout:

  • Barrel: Ironbrand Long Barrel
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Stock: Hinge LAF Light Stock
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Rear Grip: Retort 90 Grip Tape

The Ironbrand Long Barrel increases your range and allows you to carry more ammo. This means you can shoot more before having to reload, which is great in fights against several enemies.

The VLK LZR 7MW laser makes the gun more accurate by reducing the delay before firing and speeding up aiming. The DR-6 Handstop helps you lock onto targets quicker. The Hinge LAF Light Stock improves the shotgun’s hip-fire accuracy and makes you move faster, which is essential for keeping up with fast enemies.

The Retort 90 Grip Tape helps control the gun’s kick, keeping your shots on target. This setup is ideal for reacting quickly to enemies coming around corners.

Perks and Equipment

Choosing the right perks and equipment is crucial once you've set up your Reclaimer 18. Here's what works best:

  • Vest: Infantry
  • Gloves: Commando
  • Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Gear: EOD Padding
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade

The Infantry Vest allows for longer tactical sprints and lets you reload while running. Commando Gloves help with weapon handling. Covert Sneakers make your steps quieter, perfect for sneaking up on enemies. EOD Padding protects you from explosions.
Semtex is great for throwing into crowded areas to damage many enemies at once. If an enemy is still moving after a Semtex hit, use a Stun Grenade to slow them down and finish them off. Credit to Siege.gg for the tip!
