One of the four shotguns in Call of Duty: Vanguard, the Double Barrel may be the hardest to fight. While Combat Shotgun and Gracey Auto are extremely powerful, the Double Barrel comes with an add-on that neither of these guns has. Until further notice, this add-on is the focus of Double Barrel's best gear in Vanguard.
The add-on that makes the Double Barrel shotgun so powerful is Akimbo Proficiency. This allows players to double use the shotgun, meaning they have one in each hand. As players can guess, this is pretty strong considering how powerful the Double Barrel is on its own. When players add one more of these to the mix, they spawn a monster and also add a key element to Double Barrel's recommended gear.
THE BEST DOUBLE BARREL RIG IN VANGUARD
Adding Akimbo Proficiency to the mix in equipment means players must adapt to the weapon they are using. They should be aware that they can only hip-fire with Double Barrel and that won't be quite as accurate. However, with the right set of add-ons, players can maximize their chances of success with the weapon.
Muzzle: M97 Full Choke
Barrel: Sawed Off
Optics: 1913 Variable 4-8X
Stock: Removed Stock
Underbarrel: M1915 Steady
Magazine: Double Aught
Ammo Type: Packed Powder
Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip
Proficiency: Akimbo
Kit: Quick
Players using this add-on set are seeing the accuracy of their bullets increase significantly. Damage range is also increased with Packed Powder. This stat is dropped with the Sawed Off barrel, but this improves overall damage and gives players a wider spread of pellets in return. The M97 Full Choke brings the pellet back more firmly.
This Double Barrel gear will take some getting used to in Vanguard, but once players understand it, they'll have one of the best weapons in the game.
