MX Guardian is the newest shotgun joining the weapon pool of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0. Here’s how to unlock it in Season 4 Reloaded.

Infinity Ward has been crushing it with content drops spread across multiple live service titles like Warzone 2.0 and Modern Warfare 2. To help with player retention, the developers try to spice things up with each new update by releasing new maps, weapons, balance changes, and more.

The Call of Duty community is always excited about new weapon releases. And to everyone’s surprise, Infinity Ward is adding another new weapon to MW2 and Warzone 2.0’s weapon pool. A new MX Guardian Shotgun will arrive on Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 with the Season 4 Reloaded update.

If pump and double-action Shotguns are designed for greater range and accuracy, the full-auto MX Guardian is here to dish out damage up close. Players who challenge the MX Guardian within its effective range without taking cover should think twice. Countering this new shotgun means getting out of its effective range or going full fisticuffs with a Riot Shield or Melee weapon.

How to Unlock the MX Guardian Shotgun

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.

Players who are ready to wield this power know that it packs some severe recoil in addition to the limited range—though most would consider this a small price to pay for its powerhouse damage output and combat flexibility.
