Best Double Barrel Gear in Call of Duty: Vanguard

Unsurprisingly, shotguns are once again the prevalent weapon type, this time in Call of Duty: Vanguard. To make things more interesting, the latest game is filled with many close-up areas where these guns perform best. However, players are sure to get the most out of the double barrel shotgun, the latest unlockable weapon in the category. If it's in your arsenal, you're now one step closer to crafting one of the best gear in the shooter.

The accessories needed to build the best Double Barrel class should focus on maximizing the gun's wide spread and sprint-to-fire time. When built correctly, your best chance of going on an elimination spree is to run the enemy and shoot non-stop. You should find that close range hits are guaranteed one-hit kills even if your target is just off target. Listed below is every piece of equipment you will need.

• Muzzle: A5 Smoothbore
• barrel: LJ-18 Defender
• under the barrel: SMLE pistol grip
• Magazine: 16 Gauge
• Type of ammunition: Snail
• Rear handle: Fabric handle
• Action: Stock removed
• competence: Hand slide
• kit: Fully loaded
• The best advantages for the Double Barrel: Ghost, High Alert, Scavenger

After adding them, you should notice that only the optical category is without attachment. Down aiming time is always slowed down when adding a crosshair; but if you find it necessary, we recommend that you opt for a lens with a low zoom level. Plus, as tempting as Akimbo's skill may seem, more isn't better here. Akimbo users will take double the cooldown time and will usually end up earning a few takedowns before facing a helpless death. Therefore, the quick reload of the Sleight of Hand skill makes it unnecessary to hold two rifles in hand.

If you're in any doubt as to whether this will keep you from getting hit markers, the Slug ammo type and LJ-18 Defender barrel combine for a 295 percent damage increase (yes, you read that right). However, to feel the true effect of this maddening number, the A5 Smoothbore muzzle will help disperse shots to enemies outside your range, increasing the chances of multiple kills with a single shot.

Finally, the submachine gun pairs well with the shotgun when looking for something that buys you time to reload. You probably won't need it in most cases; but equipped with incendiary shells, this secondary weapon is a deadly helper at short and medium range.
