Since its debut in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare, the Origin-12 shotgun has been met with mixed reviews. Some fans rave on its high damage output and fast firing speeds while others point out its limited range and exclusive use in short-range fights. After some time, Warzone and Modern Warfare fans have found several builds that turn the Origin from bottom to a top tier weapon.
This collection of weapon loadouts come from streamers, bloggers, and fans across the internet. These are the most powerful weapon loadouts for the Origin-12 that are sure to rip opponents to shreds in most situations.
Jackfrags' Loadout
Muzzle - Choke
Barrel - FORGE TAC Impaler
Laser - 5mW Laser
Stock - No Stock
Ammunition - 12 Round Mags
This weapon loadout is built to dish out damage in close-range gunfights. Jackfrags is a Warzone fan who often employs this weapon on loadout drop opportunities. The FORGE TAC Impaler Barrel and Muzzle Choke massively improve the damage range and create a tight spread of pellets allowing this weapon to deal burst damage and knockdown enemies in one or two direct hits. The lack of Stock and inclusion of a 5mW Laser will negate movement speed debuffs from the prior attachments and allow it to remain accurate in tight situations.
Offensive Loadout
Muzzle - Choke
Barrel - FORGE TAC Precision
Optic - Monocle Reflex Sight
Stock - No Stock
Rear Grip - Stippled Grip Tape
The Warzone meta helped drive the creation of this assault-style loadout. Although the Origin-12 is not one of the best Warzone shotguns in the game, if kitted well it can pack a punch in the right situations. The increase in mobility from the No Stock and Monocle Reflex sight pair well with the increased accuracy from the Muzzle Choke and FORGE TAC Precision barrel. The range is increased, making this weapon deal massive damage up close, partial damage at medium range, and low damage at long range. The Stippled Grip Tape on the rear grip gives a faster swap speed along with better mobility while ADSing.
Overkill Loadout
Barrel - FORGE TAC Wideshot
Stock - No Stock
Underbarrel - Merc Foregrip
Ammunition - 25 Round Drum Mags
Rear Grip - Stippled Grip Tape
As a secondary to a strong assault rifle or SMG in Warzone, this set up will work well in close-knit situations. Whether players are storming rooms or advancing on enemy positions, the extra ammo of the 25 round drum mixed with the control of the Merc Foregrip gives players the accuracy and bullet count to take down any number of foes. The Wideshot barrel allows players the luxury of slightly off-center shots while the grip tape can make sure players can make fast corrections mid-gun-fight. As a secondary, the Origin-12 can become a vital tool for success.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
