You want the best Modern Warfare 2 Bryson 990 loadout? The Bryson 890 appears on our list of the best shotguns in Modern Warfare 2 due to its detachable magazine, making it the fastest shotgun of the bunch. If the typically slow reload time is your main gripe when it comes to using a shotgun in Activision’s multiplayer game, the Bryson 890 is an excellent choice. Using the Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith system, we’ve opted for freedom of movement and a focused pellet spread, at the cost of ADS and recoil control. This is our best Bryson890 loadout in the MW2.
Loadout attachments for the Bryson 890
This is the best Modern Warfare 2 Bryson-890 loadout:
- Muzzle: Bryson Improved Choke
- Underbarrel: VX Pineapple
- Laser: STOVL Tac Laser
- Barrel: 21.5” Bryson Tacfire
- Stock: Modified by Sawed Off
Unlike the best sniper rifles and LMGs, ADS isn’t an issue when it comes to the Bryson 890. Instead, it’s all about conserving the spread of your rounds, and the Bryson Improved Choke muzzle offers just that. Not only does it offer a tighter pellet spread, it also extends the Bryson 890’s range – though this comes at a cost to your recoil steadiness and aim down sight speed.
The VX Pineapple underbarrel reinforces the Bryson 890’s overall handling, with bonuses to your hip fire accuracy and hip recoil control, as well as your recoil steadiness and aim walking steadiness. We’ve also included the STOVL Tac Laser for the hip recoil control and fire accuracy, so you’ve got even less to worry about when it comes to flagging ADS.
The 21.5” Bryson Tacfire is the factory barrel for the Bryson 800, but it’s a boon for the Bryson 890. You can get the most damage from its massive damage output with its tighter pellet spread. The bullet velocity and damage range are also increased.
Finally, we’ve opted for the Sawed Off Mod stock – because at the end of the day, if you’re going to use a shotgun, it’s better to lean into its close range specialisation. The Sawed Off mod gives you a speed boost in your ADS, sprint-to-fire, and general movement. It also provides additional hip recoil control. This stock can have a negative effect on your recoil control, as you might imagine. Stability while you aim, and your flinch resistance. None of this matters too much when you’re light on your feet and getting up close and personal with enemy combatants – just make sure you drop them before they can retaliate.
