Best MX Guardian loadout for Warzone and MW3

The shotgun class is quite popular among players in Warzone due to its virtually unstoppable lethality if the fired shot is accurate. The MX Guardian is excelling in the current meta as opposed to its counterparts in the same class due to its fully automatic firing mechanism, offering a rapid and balanced stream of damage. With a high fire rate, it stands out in close-quarters combat. The MX Guardian is a shotgun and was released with the launch of MW2’s Season 4 Reloaded on July 12, 2023.

How to unlock the MX Guardian in Warzone?

Unlocking the MX Guardian in Warzone requires players to get 30 point blank Operator kills with shotguns or extract with the weapon in DMZ. Once you have it unlocked, you will need to level up the weapon to progress through the levels faster and unlock its attachments quicker. 

Best loadout for MX Guardian in Warzone

•    Muzzle: SA Schweigen DX
•    Barrel: HYP-LM
•    Stock: MX DCP-0
•    Underbarrel: VX Pineapple
•    Magazine: MX Pro Mag

The goal with selecting the aforementioned attachments for this weapon is to essentially improve its fire rate and damage while maintaining versatility through improved hip-fire accuracy and a stabilized recoil control. For this reason, the SA Schweigen DX Muzzle proves to be an excellent choice. It reinforces the existing recoil control on the shotgun and further contributes to bullet stability, ensuring accuracy over extended distances. The Barrel and Stock compliment these features, and the MX Pro Mag essentially rounds out the weapon by improving the sprint to fire and ADS times. 

While this MX Guardian loadout is technically the best one considering the base stats of the weapon, individual preferences can influence its performance. If any aspect of the loadout doesn’t match your gameplay, consider making adjustments using in-game sliders or swapping attachments to customize the loadout according to your preferences.

Best perks for MX Guardian loadout in Warzone

No loadout is complete without having a strong set of perks to back it if the mechanical operation of the weapon isn’t enough to outlast your opponent’s either in a direct gunfight or in events leading up to one. Here are our recommendations of the best perk for the aforementioned MX Guardian loadout:

•    Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad/Overkill
•    Base Perk 2: Double Time
•    Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
•    Ultimate Perk: Ghost
•    Lethal Equipment: Drill Charge
•    Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade

For our initial base perk, we have provided a couple of options to choose from and depending on your preference for having two primary weapons Overkill could be extremely effective especially if you have a Sniper as your second weapon and can switch between them quickly using Fast Hands and use Double Time to escape a cornered situation. 

Using Ghost is extremely clutch especially in Warzone where people don’t hesitate using UAVs frequently, as it will help you remain undetected, prepare for a counterattack or simply let the threat pass and engage later. 

Best MX Guardian loadout in Modern Warfare 3 

If you are looking to equip MX Guardian in Modern Warfare III, the loadout looks slightly different due to the structure of the game mode being more lenient towards affording deaths and promoting close proximity fights. Here’s our recommendation for the best loadout for MX Guardian in Modern Warfare III:

•    Muzzle: XTEN Modified Choke
•    Barrel: MX-G Mobile
•    Laser: Schlager ULO-66 Laser
•    Magazine: MX Pro Mag
•    Rear Grip: XRK Rush

As opposed to the loadout suggested for Warzone, the MWIII loadout introduces changes primarily in the Muzzle and Barrel since mobility is a crucial component in the latter game mode.
