The MX Guardian Shotgun Threatens to Usurp the KV Broadside in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone

Players in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone are already concerned about the new MX Guardian shotgun coming to the game because Activision has claimed that it would “usurp” the broken KV Broadside to become the best shotgun in the game before Season 4 Reloaded even launches.

The KV Broadside, which dominates opponents from close to mid-range and is very difficult to counter if an opponent gets the drop on you, was added to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 earlier in 2023, and it nearly instantly took over the meta. The gun was finally nerfed in response to player requests, but with Season 4 Reloaded just around the corner, players may be in for another major headache.

Most powerful shotgun in Warzone: MX Guardian?

On Wednesday, July 12, S4 Reloaded is set to release, and makers Raven Software have already caused players anxiety with their comments regarding the new MX Guardian shotgun.

The MX Guardian has arrived to steal the close-range crown, according to the Season 4 Reloaded blog article. “While the KV Broadside reigned supreme in close to mid-range engagements for a time, the MX Guardian has arrived to usurp the close-range crown,” it said. To increase your chances of success, equip the MX Guardian with your preferred close-quarters loadout in multiplayer or use it as an overkill secondary weapon in a warzone to clear rooms.

In particular, the proposal for the MX Guardian to “usurp” the pistol raised red flags for players still dealing with PTSD related to the Broadside. On Reddit, a gamer declared, “We are doomed,” to which many others concurred. One commenter suggested, “an automatic shotgun that’s good up to mid-range and is stronger than the KV.” “I’m afraid,”

Another was rather more troubled by the inclusion of this firearm. One needs to question what world they would consider appropriate for a fully automatic shotgun to rule in battles up to mid-range. Then does it make sense to include an even BETTER shotgun in the game? The MX Guardian may be better than some players anticipate. Therefore, it may be fine since the gun isn’t currently in the game. But if their worries are accurate, they will undoubtedly start demanding Nerfs soon.
