Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The R9-0 is the Modern Warfare (2019) shotgun built around firing two quick shots, and Esports Tales says the one-shot range is too weak to rely on. It ranked the gun Tier A in April 2020. Use the set below in multiplayer and the Dragon's Breath build in Warzone, where Dexerto and Charlie INTEL converge. The main build dates from 2 April 2020.
Best R9-0 loadout
Esports Tales lists this set (2 April 2020). Dexerto's and Charlie INTEL's Warzone builds also use the 5mW Laser, and Dexerto uses the Merc Foregrip.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Laser | 5mW Laser | Faster sprint-to-fire and better hip-fire accuracy |
| Rear Grip | Stippled Grip Tape | Better sprint-to-fire and 2 frames faster ADS |
| Underbarrel | Merc Foregrip | Lower ADS time and more recoil control |
| Muzzle | Monolithic Suppressor | About 7.5% more damage range; mainly lets you fire a spare shot safely |
| Perk | Sleight of Hand | Speeds up a slow reload |
Why this build works
Nearly every part makes the gun quicker to bring into a fight, because the kill comes from landing both shots rather than one. The suppressor's small range gain helps stretch that two-shot distance. Esports Tales also lists an Extended Barrel as an option in place of the perk.
How to play it
Fire both shots as a habit and stay inside the two-shot kill range. Beyond it, reposition instead of hoping for a single shot. Sleight of Hand makes the long reload safer, but you should still find cover before using it.
Alternative setups
Warzone (Dexerto, 29 August 2022): Choke, FORGE TAC Sentry, 5mW Laser, Merc Foregrip, Dragon's Breath Rounds. The rounds deal more damage and burn over time.
Warzone with grip tape (Charlie INTEL, 9 November 2020): Choke, Forge Tac Sentry, Dragons Breath Rounds, Stippled Grip Tape, 5mW Laser. The Choke tightens pellet spread, and the barrel extends damage range and tightens it further. Charlie INTEL notes burn damage works best against foes without EOD.
