Why did they nerf my boy Lockwood 680? It wasn’t even meta or particular good, no one complained. It was just fun to use and now it’s almost useless, for what?

It beat RAA. That can’t be allowed.
It was being used to counter the controller AA, so of course it would be nerfed.
Same with my sticks and shields
Roller players cry about anything that can counter rotational basically. Thats why they cry about snipers and shotties but you never hear them cry about the best smg and ar.
Lmfao these MKB comments make my eyes roll, like you kids are perpetually butthurt over the same thing & will come up with any reason to interject with it.
They nerfed it because after the Swarm it had an incredibly high TTK with 2 shots, had a very high fire rate & its range was pretty solid. If they didnt take it down a notch it would quite literally just be the next broken meta.
That’s too bad, but it still works for me. I don’t think anyone was getting too many two-hits unless the engagements were in stairwells. It still puts the fear of God into them to have all of their shields erased on a good flick of the stick. Not a deal breaker if you’re used to doing actual shotgun work.
Did you guys ever played on a Brazil/LATAM server 😭😭😭 ALL the shotguns ARE meta and heavily broken here. Every person uses one in every game
What kind of nerf did it catch? I didn’t notice it in the patch notes but I also kinda skimmed so idk what they did to it
Noone complained. Thats funny
It did need a nerf tbh.
I know a lot of MKB players are saying it was because it beat aim assist but the real reason all the shot guns got nerfed is the South American servers were under attack by shotguns lol I think Charlie intel posted pictures and comments but their pick rate was something like 6-7x more likely for shotguns in their region versus North American region
It’s funny you say that, because it’s still pretty effective. All I did was change the big 10 round barrel to the other good one and that’s really it. Still 2 shotting ppl easily.
The damage nerf is mostly negligible, I find that within 10 meters I am doing good damage, and if the enemies are 5 meters or less then you’re still capable of 2 shotting them. The big nerf comes with the barrel, but the other one works perfectly fine as long as you keep in mind that you only have 6 shots to work with. Not to mention you ads faster with that barrel too which comes in handy at times.
It was giving mouse players a chance against AA which isn’t allowed.
It definitely was a bit too strong but it doesn’t compare to the roller SMG meta. It will be missed.
It did outclass all the other pump shotguns tbf. Had better damage, shot more pellets, had more range, a faster firerate, better mobility, very little spread.
Not true. I think there should be separate game modes for shotgun users or peados as they’re otherwise known.
It’s so fucked. They’d finally given us a properly balanced shotgun for the first time ever
BR servers, lit in the lobbys 3/4 of the people uses shotguns
Bots who can’t comprehend people jumping out of cover like Kyle Reese in Terminator 1 went slack-jawed when they saw it, they expect every fight to be jumping around each other with SMGs trying to abuse rotational aim assist.
lol its not neft it still downs ppl on 2 hits.
I got nerfed cuz it was used to take stinky diarrhea shits on controller players with legal aimbot (aka AA) and activi$$$ion can’t have that or else controller players won’t buy the new $30 bel Delphine skin
As a controller player (xbox), I finally felt like I could compete with all of the SMG sweats that instantly down me.
“Look how they massacred my boy”
Confused – how did it beat RAA? Mkb player asking!
I’m on PS5, controller user and absolutely loved my 680. Played only multiplayer.
Got really good with it. Required finesse and god damn good aim. High risk high reward playstyle, missed one shot and you had 90% to die.
They completely fucked it up with that massive 3X Sprint to shoot nerf. At least they didn’t apply the mid range damage nerf that also go for warzone.
Now I’m trying to find alternative parts to lower the massive 219ms StS
I’m gonna miss my baby 😪

Thought this was a zombies post and was angry for a sec ngl
I don’t like shotguns in COD in general but this nerf feels excessive. As you say, it wasn’t even meta
I expected a minor nerf but yeah, seems like they killed it. The damage reduction after the first range was one of the biggest damage nerfs I’ve ever seen. And the heavy barrel is far superior for consistency, so you pretty much have to use it and that makes the sprint to fire pretty bad now. Imo they should’ve just reduced its maximum 2 shot potential range by a meter or so and maybe slightly reduced the fire rate improvement of the bolt. Oh well, no fun or variance allowed. Just constant samey ~600ms TTK smgs it is… Hopefully when they see its pick rate drop to near 0 they’ll buff it. But the community moans so much about shotguns I wouldn’t be surprised if they leave it.
