Now that we've got the attachments down, you'll want to make the most of your Riveter with the use of perks and equipment. Check out all the intel we have for the perks you should choose for the shotgun.

Perks

  • Perk 1: EOD
  • Perk 2: Double Time
  • Perk 3: Tempered
  • Perk 4: High Alert

EOD provides resistance to any incoming explosives that are bound to head your way during a Warzone match while Double Time allows you to navigate the map quickly thanks to longer Tac Sprint.

Tempered reduces the time it takes to plate up without compromising on additional protection which means less time hiding in cover and more time scoring kills.

Lastly, High Alert rounds out this Perk Package thanks to its vision pulse that provides better awareness when an enemy has clocked your location.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

Smoke Grenades can hinder the sight of your enemies, leaving them blind when you drop in the sticky grenade to cause some real damage. This is when you step in with the fully automatic Riveter, and finish them off with ease.

Is he Warzone Riveter Meta?

In the final weeks of Season 3 Reloaded, the Riveter is part of the Warzone meta thanks to its incredibly high damage output making it a perfect option for Resurgence matches. Due to its overpowered nature, there's a high chance it receives a nerf soon so make the most of it while you can.
