Riveter 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 Riveter 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 Riveter 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 Its attachment choices, rankings, share codes and statistics are historical reference only.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.
Full-auto fire sets this Modern Warfare III shotgun apart, and WZStats says its TTK is fast up close. Even so, Warzone Season 6 rankings do not favour it: CODMunity rates it Below Average for Close Range, and warzoneloadout.games has it at #128 in the Contender tier. Most players should look at the STRIKER, SUPERI 46 or STATIC-HV first.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Ammunition | .410 Gauge Ball | Ammunition; effect not listed |
| Laser | SL Razorhawk Laser Light | Laser; effect not listed |
| Rear Grip | XTEN Grip | Rear Grip; effect not listed |
| Stock | DAV15 Light Tactical | Stock; effect not listed |
| Underbarrel | Paracord 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
This build has no published TTK, ADS or velocity numbers on CODMunity, so its case comes from WZStats' notes and the damage changes. The .410 Gauge Ball ammunition took a nerf on 5/15/2024: near-mid damage fell from 33 to 30, mid damage from 27 to 25, and a new far-mid band was set at 21 damage with a 16.51 meter range. A 5/1/2024 patch decreased ADS spread by 10% on the gun, while the .410 Gauge Ball increased it by 10%. WZStats lists low pellet count and low range as the costs of a full-auto shotgun. Nothing is listed for what its attachments do.
How to play it
Hold it for very short fights where the automatic trigger can do its work. The 16.51 meter far-mid band is the outer edge worth thinking about, and damage keeps dropping as ranges stretch, so do not chase targets across open ground. Low pellet count leaves it exposed once a target moves away. Your long-range answer should be the SVA 545, DTIR 30-06 or MTZ-556, which WZStats lists as pairings. In Battle Royale, WZStats also offers an alternate build with a 30 Round Mag.
Alternative setups
Recommended, Battle Royale (WZStats): SA DRAVEN-20 LONG BARREL, 30 Round Mag, XTen Grip, Demo D50 Buffer Tube, SL Razorhawk Laser Light.
Unlock notes
The sources list these requirements for the main build: .410 Gauge Ball: Level 21; SL Razorhawk Laser Light: Level 10 on the SVA 545; XTEN Grip: Level 18; DAV15 Light Tactical: Level 13; Paracord Grip: Unlock with Armory unlocks!.
