Are you curious about the best MX Guardian loadout for Warzone 2.0? Then rest assured, as we show you the best loadout with the optimal setup for dominating Ashika Island.

Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 has been a massive success worldwide. The direct sequel to Warzone Caldera, Warzone 2.0 features guns, equipment, and game mechanics from MW2. There are 67 weapons in MW2, which are also present in its BR counterpart.

Among the 67 weapons, 6 of them are Shotguns. Warzone 2.0’s largest map in CoD history makes it a ballpark for Sniper Rifles, ARs, and LMGs. However, Shotguns reign supreme for close-range engagements. From the Shotgun class, the MX Guardian has managed to steal the spotlight with its unmatched damage output and versatility.

A truly versatile platform, the MX Guardian grants access to semi-auto, burst-fire, and full-auto modes—all of which can be equipped with Slug rounds to give Battle Rifles a run for their money in the mid-range.

How to unlock MX Guardian in Warzone 2.0

The MX Guardian is available by completing the Season 4 Battle Pass’s classified tier in Warzone 2.0 or Modern Warfare 2. But that doesn’t ensure everything connected to the weapon is unlocked. Players must level up their rank with the MX Guardian, as with any other weapon in Call of Duty games, to unlock some of the better attachments for the gun.

To rank up MX Guardian, keep playing Warzone 2.0 when equipped. While the MX Guardian will always gain a constant flow of XP while equipped, players can speed up the process by slaying enemies, taking down killstreaks, and completing contracts. And they will gain even more weapon XP for the MX Guardian if they activate a weapon-oriented XP token before a Warzone 2 match begins.

Best Equipment & Perks for MX Guardian Loadout

Equipment

  • Tactical: Stim
  • Lethal: Semtex

Stim is a widely used tactical capable of providing instant heals, which can be life-saving in clutch situations. On the other hand, semtex is an excellent lethal that can serve as a breaching impact and flush out other players from cover.

Perk Package – Weapon Specialist

  • Base Perk -1: Overkill
  • Base Perk -2: Strong Arm
  • Bonus Perk: Spotter
  • Ultimate Perk: Survivor

The weapon specialist package is excellent for calm and calculated players. The base perks are Overkill and Strong Arm. Strong Arm grants players more projectile-throwing power with a preview of the trajectory, while Overkill allows them to carry two primary weapons.

Furthermore, players can use Spotter for the bonus perk, which spots enemy equipment, field upgrades, and killstreaks through walls. Lastly, the ultimate perk is Survivor, which acts as a self-revive but in the form of a perk.

All the Latest MX Guardian Buffs and Nerfs

The MX Guardian did not receive any buffs or nerfs, as it has been recently added to the game. The current state of the weapon is balanced, according to many players within the CoD community. If the situation arises, the gun might get more tweaks in future updates to make it more balanced.

All the Shotguns from Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 are different. They all excel in their fields depending on the build. Furthermore, the exact placement of the weapon in the current meta can be determined in the coming weeks as more players get their hands on the gun.

Other Alternatives to the MX Guardian in the Current Meta

Other alternatives to the MX Guardian are Cronen Squall (Battle Rifle), M13B (AR), and Lockwood MK2 (Marksman Rifle). The M13B is one of the most powerful guns in Warzone 2’s current meta. As time progresses, more weapons will gain a stronger position in the meta.
