As part of the new Season 2 update for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and Modern Warfare 2, Activision has added a new shotgun called the KV Broadside. This shotgun is available for free to all players and is actually competitive in terms of the close-range meta. As always, there’s no shortage of ways to build this particular weapon due to all of the different attachment options. With that in mind, which loadouts are the best?

These are the best Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 KV Broadside builds, as well as how to use them.

Recommended loadout:

Barrel Gunner D20
Ammunition 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath
Magazine 25 Shell Drum
Stock VLK Stockless
Bolt Dashbolt 60

When it comes to the best KV Broadside build for Warzone 2.0, one specific setup is better than the rest. This one can consistently down opponents in two shots, which is absurd and will likely get patched.

Start by using the Gunner D20 Barrel for improved damage range, bullet velocity, hip fire accuracy, and recoil control. This will help you secure more eliminations from afar. Next, you’ll want to use the weapon’s secret sauce, the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath Ammunition. This adds incendiary damage to all pellets, helping you secure eliminations more consistently.

Since this build is for Warzone 2.0, we recommend utilizing the 25 Shell Drum Magazine, giving you plenty of rounds to take down multiple foes at once. In addition, the VLK Stockless Stock comes in handy, boosting your aim down sights (ADS) speed, sprint-to-fire speed, overall mobility, and hip recoil control. Finalize the build with the Dashbolt 60 Bolt for an increased fire rate, making it easier to win close-range gunfights.

Recommended loadout:

Muzzle Bryson Improved Choke
Barrel Range Twelve
Laser 7mw Canted Laser
Stock VLK Stockless
Rear Grip True-Tac Grip

As for the Modern Warfare 2 build, you’ll want to focus on maximizing range and sprint-to-fire speeds, without totally ruining your mobility.

Kick things off with the Bryson Improved Choke Muzzle, giving you a tighter pellet spread and increased damage range. Speaking of which, we also recommend the Range Twelve Barrel, for yet another boost to damage range, along with improved hip fire accuracy, and bullet velocity.

Next, we advise using the 7mw Canted Laser, which improves your aiming stability, ADS speed, and sprint-to-fire speed. Follow that up with the VLK Stockless Stock, giving you even faster ADS times, better sprint-to-fire speeds, a movement increase, and improved hip recoil control. Finalize the build with the True-Tac Grip Rear Grip, which improves ADS and sprint-to-fire speed yet again.

Black Ops and Black Ops 2 PS5 ports could cost $80 before DLC
The rumored price for these classic Call of Duty ports is hard to defend
Adult, Male, Man

Call of Duty fans were understandably excited when Treyarch confirmed that Black Ops and Black Ops 2 are coming to modern PlayStation consoles in July. Both games are among the most beloved entries in the series, and PlayStation players have been locked out of easy access to them for years unless they still had older hardware.

That excitement may not last if the latest pricing clues are accurate. As pointed out by Call of Duty tracker CharlieIntel (via Gaming Bible), Black Ops and Black Ops 2 recently received store updates on PC and Xbox. Each base game is now listed at $40, individual DLC packs cost $10 each, season passes are priced at $30, and microtransaction camos or personalization packs are now free.

Can an ice machine cool an Nvidia RTX GPU at gaming? A wild mod job proves it can
An ice machine helped cool an RTX 3060 to just 22 degrees in Cyberpunk 2077

A countertop ice machine is not exactly standard PC hardware, but YouTuber TrashBench has shown that it can be turned into a surprisingly effective GPU cooler. In a new video, the creator used an ice maker as the basis for a custom cooling setup for an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, and the results were far better than expected.

The project was inspired by another creator, Mr. Yeester, who used an ice machine to cool a CPU. TrashBench took the concept in a different direction by trying to cool a graphics card with the machine itself, rather than simply dumping ice into a loop.

Epic is improving its game launcher with a long overdue speed boost and plenty of new features
Epic Games Store Launcher V2 could finally address years of user complaints

Epic Games has spent years trying to make the Epic Games Store a serious rival to Steam. It has given away free games, signed exclusivity deals, and kept major PC releases such as Borderlands 3, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria away from Valve’s storefront at launch. Those moves have helped Epic build an audience, but they have not been enough to seriously threaten Steam’s position as the default PC gaming platform.

One problem has been the launcher itself. Earlier this year, an Epic executive admitted to Eurogamer that the launcher “sucks,” and the company now appears to be working on a much bigger fix. According to slides from an Unreal Fest presentation shared by LuKaOnIndeed on X, Epic is developing Launcher V2, a ground-up rebuild of the Epic Games Store launcher that is supposed to be much faster and easier to use.
