The SPAS-12 is back.

MW3 Season 4 Reloaded introduced the Reclaimer 18 shotgun to the game, which some players may recognize as the classic SPAS-12. If you want to run it in multiplayer, we’ve put together the best Reclaimer 18 loadout, including attachments and perks.

Major patches always add new weapons, and Season 4 Reloaded is no different. Usually, these new weapons immediately dominate the game’s meta, but Sledgehammer has opted not to make the Reclaimer 18 ultra-powerful, with many claiming the gun feels inconsistent.

Still, if you want to try it out, we’ve got the best loadout that you can run.

  • Barrel: Ironbrand Long Barrel
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Stock: Hinge LAF Light Stock
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Rear Grip: Retort 90 Grip Tape

Because the Reclaimer 18 feels inconsistent, I’ve opted for the Ironbrand Long Barrel to increase the weapon’s range, which should help hit enemies at longer distances. The VLK LZR 7MW Laser should also help you hit enemies by improving hip-fire accuracy, while the DR-6 Handstop Underbarrel also helps with accuracy.

The Hinge LAF Light Stock gives a decent boost to your movement speed, which will help you close the distance to enemies you want to eliminate, while the Retort 90 Grip Tape Rear Grip‘s recoil control is very useful in the heat of battle.

Best MW3 Reclaimer 18 perks and equipment

  • Vest: Infantry Vest
  • Gloves: Commando Gloves
  • Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Gear: Ghost T/V Camo
  • Lethal Grenade: Frag
  • Tactical Grenade:Ā Flash Grenade

As for perks, you’re going to want to get around the map quickly and close distances fast, so the Infantry Vest is a must, as it increases your Tactical Sprint ability and reduces refresh time. Covert Sneakers will also be good to mask your footsteps if you’re sneaking up on someone, while the Commando Gloves will let you reload while sprinting.

The Ghost T/V Camo Gear will keep you off UAVs and Heartbeat Sensors, which is always handy, while Flash Grenades will blind enemies, allowing you to get close without them being able to see you. Finally, I put on a Frag Grenade, but I would place this as personal preference, and really you can run what you want.
