Wondering what are the best class setups and attachments for the R9-0 shotgun in Call of Duty Modern Warfare? This guide will take you through the best class setups and attachments for the R9-0 including the weapons stats such as range, damage, and rate of fire.

The R9-0 is a double-barrel shotgun that provides 2 rapid shots before reloading. It fires a burst of 14 pellets that are devastating at close range. It is an American-made shotgun. 

The R9-0 kills in 1 shot at 10 meters which is the 2nd highest 1 shot kill range among the shotguns. The 725 takes the spot at number 1. It drops off to 2 or 3 shots to kill beyond 10 meters. It fires at a rate of 145 RPM. The weapon fires 2 rapid shots at 300 RPM with a 500ms delay between bursts.

This shotgun is a hidden beast and is the best shotgun after the 725 because of its high rate of fire and damage range.

R9-0 Best Class Setups

These are the recommended base attachments that all of your classes should run for the R9-0. The Tac Laser and the Forge TAC sentry barrel attachment should be prioritized. This will give the R9-0 a tighter pellet spread and a faster sprint out time. Check out our top 3 best classes for the weapon below.

Class 1 – R9-0 Defensive/ Objective

This class is for the players that like to play the objective. Especially those that love games such as Headquarters and Domination. Kit the R9-0 with the attachments as seen above. The RPG-7 as secondary. 

  • Perk slot 1: E.O.D. to protect you from enemies bombarding the objective with explosives. 
  • Perk slot 2: Hardline: To help you get your support killstreaks faster.
  • Perk slot 3: Battle-Hardened: To protect you from the barrage of stuns and EMPs. 
  • Lethal: C4s are great for clearing objectives inside a small room. Normally there will be an enemy lying on or in the objective. Tossing a C4 in clears it out promptly.
  • Tactical: Gas grenades work wonders when getting enemies out of the HQ or off the Dom flag. They do require you to level up a bit. Therefore, if you don’t have them unlocked yet, choose the Stun or Flash.

Class 2 – R9-0 Groundwar Menace

Class 2 is for the Groundwar fans out there. It caters for close-quarters combat as well as long-range. Follow the same attachment setup as previously mentioned. 

  • Perk slot 1: Because you’re carrying a sniper rifle as a secondary. Overkill is a must here.
  • Perk slot 2: High Alert will give you a heads up if someone can see you. This is great for both close and long-range combat. Especially if you’re sniping from somewhere sneaky.
  • Perk slot 3: Shrapnel will make sure you have 2 claymores to plant. Claymores are essential in Groundwar.
  • Lethal: Claymores will double up from using Shrapnel.
  • Tactical: The Gas Grenade is great when you need to clear an objective.

Class 3 – R9-0 Rushers

Class 3 is for high energy rushers. It’s made for close-quarters combat with a knife in the secondary to get nice and personal with your enemy. Follow the same attachment setup as mentioned above.

  • Perk slot 1: Double Time will give you that extra double sprint you need to get into the battlefield faster.
  • Perk slot 2: Ghost does exactly what it says on the tin. You need to run Ghost if you’re rushing around the map like a lunatic.
  • Perk slot 3: Amped will allow you to quickly switch to your knife in a heated situation.
  • Lethal: C4’s are very effective if you need to clear a flank or choke point.
  • Tactical: Stun Grenades are great when rushing especially in game modes such as SnD. Chuck a stun and then a C4 into the bomb to clear the area.
