COD MW3: Best Riveter build for Warzone and multiplayer
Big guns punch big holes, and that’s what the Riveter is all about. While other powerful shotguns, like the Lockwood 680, thrive on killing an enemy with a single shot – perfect for multiplayer – shotguns like the Riveter offer a slightly higher fire rate, but still pack a huge punch. This is the ideal shotgun for Warzone, where a single shot is basically never going to take down a fully-armored enemy.
If you need your next shot to be ready to blast and fast, then the Riveter is the ideal shotgun for you. The fire rate isn’t that high, but it’s great when compared to other shotguns, and the overall balance makes it ideal for Warzone, where you might need an extra shot or two to finish off your foe.
For everything you need to build a powerful Riveter build to tear up multiplayer and Warzone, just follow our attachment breakdown below.
Best Riveter loadout – MW3 & Warzone
Activision
We’re sacrificing a bit of the weapon’s base handling with this build, but it’ll be worth it for the massive increase to damage and range.
- Muzzle: Bryson Choke
- Barrel: SA Draven-20 Long Barrel
- Laser: Corvus PEQ Beam-5
- Underbarrel: Bruen Bastion Angled Grip
- Ammunition: .410 Gauge Slug Shells
It speaks for itself, right? The Slug Shells ammunition choice raises Damage and Range massively, making the weapon more powerful and threatening overall – it even had some pretty intimidating damage at mid-range.
This build will shred through the close-range dummy in the Firing Range with a single shot, and even the mid-range dummy takes only two well-placed hits to take down.
Shotguns are always going to be more useful in the MW3 multiplayer modes than in Warzone thanks to the general ranges you’ll be shooting at, but this build is surprisingly competent in both modes. The Riveter can easily take down a fully-armored player with only a handful of shots that come out quite quick, so it’s reliable and powerful.
