Best Riveter Warzone loadout: Class setup, attachments, Perks

The Riveter is an absolute unit capable of incredible damage output and clearing out ammo reserves in seconds. Here’s the optimal loadout you’ll need to dominate Warzone.

When SMGs and Snipers fail to scratch the itch of a reliable secondary weapon, shotguns are there to pack a punch.

Enter the Riveter, the full-auto shotgun built around an assault rifle. In theory, the Riveter sounds like a great choice… until you use it and discover its recoil is extremely unforgiving, even if you’re only hip-firing it. Not to mention, its full-auto nature will chew through your ammo reserves in a matter of seconds.

Thankfully, we’ve got the best Riveter loadout for you to use in Warzone so you can dominate Urzikstan.

Best Riveter Warzone loadout

• Muzzle: Crown Breaker Choke
• Barrel: SA Draven-20 Long
• Magazine: 30 Round Mag
• Ammunition: .410 Gauge Incendiary
• Underbarrel: Bruen Bastion Angled Grip

Given it’s a fully automatic shotgun, don’t expect incredible range and accuracy from the Riveter. However, in close ranges, this loadout will do wonders.

The Crown Breaker Choke helps tighten the pellet spread and combined with the .410 Gauge Incendiary ammunition and the 30 Round Mag, you’ll wreak extreme amounts of fire havoc. The Bruen Bastion Angled Grip helps boost the Riveter’s accuracy woes, with firing aim stability bumps.

Finally, the SA Draven-20 Long barrel increases your bullet velocity and range, which helps since the default Riveter range is pretty underwhelming.
