The philosophy behind our best Bryson 890 loadout is fairly straightforward: improve hipfire accuracy and range, and tighten the pellet spread as much as possible. With this combination of strengths, the Bryson 890 is very capable of downing enemies at fringes ranges for any Shotgun, while also having the hipfire accuracy to annihilate close threats in the blink of an eye.
TheBryson Improved Chokeon the Muzzle and the21.5" Bryson TacfireBarrel mod both serve to dramatically tighten the Bryson 890’s pellet spread and increase its effective range. Even at mid-range, you may be able to land a quick kill before the enemy has time to finish you off.
Finally, we’ve improved the Bryson 890’s handling and mobility with theSawed Off Modon the Stock slot, which gives you improved movement, ADS, and sprint to fire speeds (as well as a slight boost to hipfire recoil control to boot). And all it costs is some aiming stability and aiming recoil control - which don’t matter much at all for a Shotgun like this.
As with all Shotguns, no matter how much we kit out the Bryson 890 for long range, we’re always gonna need a mid-range weapon to go alongside it. You could opt for a strongBattle Riflelike theFTAC Recon, but I personally prefer to have at least one full-auto weapon in all my builds. So you’d best pick one of thebest Assault Rifles in Modern Warfare 2. TheM4,Kastov 762, andSTB 556are all excellent choices for this role.
Aside from theOverkillperk that you’ll need to equip any of the above weapons alongside your Bryson 890, your options when it comes to perks are quite open. Overall we’d recommend you pick up the combo ofDouble TimeandFast Handsto improve your mobility and handling for when you’re aggressively seeking out enemies in indoor locations; and finally theQuick FixUltimate Perk, which gives you a healthy dose of health regen the moment you kill an enemy.
As for equipment, we’ve kept things simple here. The focus is the Bryson 890, and seeing as this shotgun excels at room-clearing, you should pick up aDrill Chargeand aStun Grenadeto initiate with before you round a corner into a group of enemies and mow them down one after the other.
