Warzone 2: The Best KV Broadside Loadout

Inspired by the real-life weapon Vepr-12, the KV Broadside is a semi-automatic shotgun with a removable magazine. While most shotguns often fail to rank in the META, the KV has remained A-Tier and maintained a high pick rate.

However, the recent buff in Warzone 2’s Season 4 has helped this shotgun trend again. The update gave KV Broadside more damage in mid-range, turning it into a lethal option for close-range loadouts. This guide explains how to benefit from KV Broadside’s increased damage and turn it into a reliable main with a practical loadout in Warzone 2.

The Best Attachments for the KV Broadside

Because the KV Broadside lacks range and fire rate, it must be upgraded with a bolt and heavy-duty ammunition. But the shotgun would also benefit from an accuracy-boosting laser and a maxed-out magazine.

The following are the best attachments for buffed KV Broadside.

KV Broadside Parts	Attachments
Barrel	Gunner D20
Bolt	Dashbolt 60
Laser	Point-G3P D4
Magazine	12-Shell Mag
Ammunition	12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath
Stock	VLK Stockless
Sight	Iron Sights
Rear Grip	DEMO X-2
Muzzle	Bryson Choke

For the most effective KV Broadside build, use the Gunner D20 barrel, Point-G3P D4 laser, Dashbolt 60 bolt, and the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath ammunition. However, to maximize its kill ratio while maintaining movability, go with the 12-Shell Magazine.

KV Broadside Loadout Perks & Equipment

Since players will need to pair another primary weapon with KV Broadside, Overkill is a must-have perk. But they can also benefit from Fast Hand, Ghost, High Alert, and Spotter—depending on their play strategy.

For Lethal and Tactical equipment, Semtex and Stun Grenades are the best options. However, Throwing Knives and Smoke Grenades also go well with KV Broadside class setups.

Is the KV Broadside Any Good?

With a 1% pick rate, KV Broadside is currently the second-best shotgun in Warzone 2, following the footsteps of the MX Guardian in the META. While most shotguns fail to perform well in Warzone’s mostly long-range combats, the buffed KV offers a solid power that outperforms most secondaries in close- to mid-range.
