New weapon metas are always coming and going in Call of Duty games, whether it's Warzone, Black Ops Cold War, or the latest addition, Vanguard. The latest meta fans are rallying behind is the Combat Shotgun, which is disgustingly overpowered in Vanguard's Multiplayer at the moment.

Call of Duty: Vanguard Combat Shotgun Details

The Combat Shotgun is unlocked in Call of Duty: Vanguard at Level 14, and is a pump-action shotgun that offers additional effective range compared to other weapons in its class.

Originally called the 'Winchester M1897 Trench Gun', this classic Shotgun has featured in many Call of Duty titles over the years, beginning in Call of Duty 2 right up to Black Ops 4, and now returning in Vanguard.

The base weapon in Vanguard can hold a total of 5 shells per magazine and offers great speed and firepower to take out your enemies at close range. Paired with the correct attachments though, you can create the ultimate Combat Shotgun that will have the enemy team frustrated.
