The Haymaker is the fastest-killing shotgun in Warzone Mobile. Thanks to a 20-round drum magazine, the shotgun possesses enough firepower to punish an entire squad. You can dominate the close quarters with the Haymaker even playing super aggressively. Just make sure to use proper attachments and buff the hip-fire and Tac Stance spread.

The Lockwood 680 in Warzone Mobile is a pump-action shotgun with a reputation as the most versatile weapon in its category. With the right loadout, it can be used effectively against SMGs and take down enemies from slightly farther distances than most shotguns. However, if you don't have access to the best attachments, you may need to consider other guns like the Lockwood 300 or the Haymaker.

The Lockwood 300 is the unique weapon in the Warzone Mobile arsenal. Unlike other automatic shotguns, the Lockwood is designed to eliminate enemies with a single well-placed shot. That makes it the perfect choice for players who love to engage in close-quarters combat. The Lockwood 300 also has a thematic Doom Blueprint available for purchase with a bundle that costs 1,800 COD Points.

The Bryson 800 is a core Warzone gun that can be unlocked by reaching level 4. The shotgun is a highly reliable weapon that combines raw power and versatility. It might not be the most forgiving shotgun like the Haymaker or Lockwood 680, but it has significant close-range damage potential.

Riveter

The Riveter differs from pump-action shotguns from the list. It's a fully automated shotgun that boasts stopping power capable of taking down the entire squad in a few seconds. However, this raw power comes with a significant drawback: recoil. The Riveter's rapid fire makes this weapon impossible to control, especially on mobile devices.
