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.

The M1014 is the shotgun Altered Gamer thinks people undervalue: it has the highest damage stat in the class and reasonable range and fire rate. For Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer, the verdict is to choose it if you don't want Akimbo shotguns but do want one strong single-gun option.
Best M1014 loadout
No major guide publishes a build for this gun, so this is our suggested setup from its available attachments. The attachment list is a Steam guide's shotgun list (11 June 2018), written per class.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Red Dot Sight | Sight; effect on this gun not listed |
Why this build works
Altered Gamer's argument is about the base gun, so no attachment is needed to make the case. The sight is our cheap, low-commitment suggestion and is the first shotgun attachment on the Steam guide's list. Altered Gamer doesn't test attachments on it.
How to play it
Altered Gamer's general shotgun warning still applies: stick to close-range shots even when a gun's range looks decent, since distant hits only wound you into exposure. Use this as the alternative to Akimbo shotguns, as Altered Gamer suggests.
Unlock notes
Altered Gamer gives level 54. The Steam guide places the Red Dot Sight at 10 kills on shotguns.
