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 Ranger is the shotgun that became one of the most used after the Model 1887's range was cut, according to Altered Gamer. Its author still calls Akimbo Rangers fun but not necessarily productive. In Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer, the verdict is that you take these for close-range entertainment rather than results.
Best Ranger loadout
Altered Gamer (2 February 2010) is the only source here discussing Akimbo Rangers. It doesn't list any other attachment for this gun, so we name none.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Akimbo | Dual-wields two Rangers, which Altered Gamer calls fun but not necessarily productive |
Why this build works
Damage is the only stat Altered Gamer rates, with everything else relatively low. That means your target has to be very close, and you are hoping one of your two shots kills.
How to play it
Get very close before you fire. Altered Gamer writes that Akimbo shotguns are always fun if you find yourself surrounded, which is the situation to use them in. Its author would rather use a different single shotgun, given how low accuracy and range are.
Unlock notes
The Steam guide (11 June 2018) places the Ranger in its level 40-50 bracket. The sources read don't give the Akimbo unlock for this gun.
