Haymaker is part of Warzone’s Legacy weapon pool. In current Warzone, choose its provided preset or an available Blueprint from the Legacy tab. You cannot recreate an old custom Gunsmith setup for it.
Best Haymaker loadout in current Warzone
Use the Legacy preset supplied in game. The official Season 1 notes say Legacy weapons are already configured for Warzone and cannot be edited in Gunsmith. There is no verified evidence here that a particular paid Blueprint is stronger, so we do not recommend buying one for a presumed advantage.
How to equip it
- Open Create-a-Class and choose a primary or secondary weapon slot.
- Open the Legacy tab.
- Choose Haymaker and equip its available preset or Blueprint.
- If it is locked, check its XP requirement in Armory Unlocks.
What changed
With the November 2026 Season 1 integration, weapons from Modern Warfare II through Black Ops 7 remain available as Legacy weapons. They do not support editable attachments, Modern Warfare 4 mastery camos, reticle challenges, cosmetic Gunsmithing or build sharing.
A multiplayer setup for this weapon belongs to its original game. Do not use an old Warzone attachment guide as an editable current-season build.

Checked: 10 November 2026. Applies to the fixed Legacy weapon system in current Warzone; this is not a claim that the weapon is the strongest choice.
Historical build archive — before 6 November 2026
The original guide below was researched on 30 October 2026. Its attachment choices, rankings, share codes and statistics are historical reference only. They do not describe the fixed preset supplied in current Warzone, and the old custom setup cannot be recreated through its current Gunsmith.
Damage cuts define the recent history of this Modern Warfare III shotgun. In Warzone Season 6, CODMunity marks it Other and warzoneloadout.games places it #265 for Close Range in its Contender tier. No WZStats ranking appears for it. The verdict is off-meta, and WZStats' named alternatives, the STRIKER, SUPERI 46 and STATIC-HV, are the better picks for most players.
Best Haymaker loadout
This is CODMunity's Close Range build, and warzoneloadout.games lists the same five picks. CODMunity last updated it on 2025-12-04, before the 14 October 2026 patch.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Imperator Long | Barrel; effect not listed |
| Conversion Kit | JAK Maglift Kit | Conversion Kit; effect not listed |
| Rear Grip | Blitz Tactical Grip | Rear Grip; effect not listed |
| Stock | No Stock Mod | Stock; effect not listed |
| Underbarrel | Bruen Bastion Angled Grip | Underbarrel; effect not listed |
| Perks | Scavenger, Sprinter, Adaptive | WZStats: Downed enemies drop ammo, equipment and plates; Lets you reload during tactical sprint and eases movement penalties; Better explosive defense, movement and handling |
| Equipment | Heartbeat sensor, Frag | WZStats: Limited-use tablet that shows rough enemy positions nearby; Cookable grenade |
| Secondary | SVA 545 | WZStats' top pairing; next are DTIR 30-06 and MTZ-556 |
Why this build works
The Season 1 nerf (11/14/2024) cut maximum damage from 36 to 23, Medium Damage Range 1 damage from 23 to 18 and Medium Damage Range 2 damage from 18 to 14. No TTK or handling figures are published for the build, and none of its parts have listed effects: Imperator Long, JAK Maglift Kit, Blitz Tactical Grip, No Stock Mod and Bruen Bastion Angled Grip.
How to play it
With so little data and no listed strengths, keep expectations low and engagements very short. Rely on it only inside rooms, and swap to the STRIKER, SUPERI 46 or STATIC-HV once fights open up. WZStats suggests the SVA 545, DTIR 30-06 or MTZ-556 as a long-range partner, plus Scavenger, Sprinter and Adaptive as perks.
Alternative setups
Recommended, Battle Royale (WZStats): IMPERATOR LONG BARREL, 20 Round Drum, No Stock Mod, SL Razorhawk Laser Light, 12 Gauge Dragon's Breath.
Unlock notes
The sources list these requirements for the main build: Imperator Long: Level 19; Blitz Tactical Grip: Level 3; No Stock Mod: Level 21; Bruen Bastion Angled Grip: Level 7 on the MCW 6.8.
