The Origin 12 – an original Modern Warfare weapon – is now very old, but it's still a great shotty. If you like getting up close and personal, you should check out our best Origin 12 loadout for Warzone.
Shotguns are a rather rare sight in Warzone. Sure, every once in a while one makes it into the meta because it's completely broken – think the R9-0 Dragonbreath or the damnAkimbo Double Barrel – but these are quickly nerfed. Nevertheless, there are still a few viable shotguns in Warzone. And the Origin 12 is one of them. With our loadout, you'll be chopping up. The Origin 12 is one of the oldest weapons in the game, but it's still pretty damn good. It's a fast semi-automatic with an absurdly large magazine, making it great for taking on multiple enemies. It's also comparatively easy to play with, as it has hardly any recoil. So let's take a look at the best Origin 12 loadout for Warzone.
The Best Origin 12 Attachment Setup
| Slot | Attachment |
| run | FORGE TAC impaler |
| laser | 5mW laser |
| underflow | Command Foregrip |
| magazine | 25-Round Drum Mags |
| Handle | Rubberized Grip Tape |
With the Origin 12 we want to make the most of the extremely high semi-automatic rate of fire, which is why we rely on a 25-round magazine. However, in order to not be completely useless, we also have to increase the range with the barrel and try to make quick follow-up shots easier with the foregrip. The laser just gives us a little more mobility for close combat.
Equipment & Extras For An Origin 12 Loadout
The Best Secondary Weapon For The Origin 12
The Origin 12 is a shotgun and as such is only effective at very short ranges. However, since you cannot always go directly into close combat in Warzone, you need a weapon with a good range to support you. The new long-range meta is the Whitley LMG, which is extremely precise, especially over longer distances, and packs a wild strong punch. Here's the Whitley long-range build. But you should also take a look at thebest assault rifles if you want more mobility from your secondary.
The Best Equipment For The Origin 12
| Primary | Semtex |
| Tactical | Heartbeat Sensor |
The Heartbeat Sensor, although ratty, is still a very strong choice in the tactical equipment slot. The waiting time between scan pulses is now significantly longer, but the info can still be game-changing. In addition to the beat, we also took Semtex because these puppies work well in every situation.
The Best Perks For The Origin 12
| Perk 1 | Cold-blooded |
| Perk 2 | Overkill |
Perk 3 | Amped |
Since almost everyone on Caldera runs the Combat Scout perk, we need Cold-blooded to counter it. In the second slot, we obviously rely on overkill in order to be able to carry both weapons. And finally, we're going for Amped, since our loadout consists of a long-range weapon and an extremely close-range one, so we need to be able to switch between the two weapons as quickly as possible.
The Origin 12 is hella strong, even after all these years, but if it doesn't suit you, check out the new KG M40 assault rifle.
