Shipment Strategies

Use the Bomb Drone Killstreak

MW2 - Bomb Drone

The Bomb Drone killstreak finds high value in the narrow areas of Shipment so make sure to have this equipped in your loadout before entering matchmaking.

Enemy engagements will be easy to find since the spawn zones for both squads are relatively close to one another, guaranteeing easy kills and map control.

Field a Run and Gun Setup

MW2 - Shipment Map
Shipment's map size is relatively small unlike other maps so playing aggressively and fielding a run and gun setup is recommended. It is important to match the pace of Shipment's game modes so equipping a Submachine Gun or selecting a run and gun perk package can help you find more success in this map.

Best Submachine Gun

Use a Drill Charge

MW2 - Drill Charges
This map will have a number of containers that can be used by opposition players to catch you off guard. Using a Drill Charge can clear out enemy players hiding inside open containers, allowing your team to then to take up this space to gain a better vantage point of enemies.

Recommended Gun Loadouts

Primary Secondary
Fennec 45 X13 Auto
Analysis
Shipment is a small-scale map with only four main areas to navigate through: Bridge Side, Center, Drug Stash, and Container Stack. The Fennec 45 SMG and X13 Auto handgun combo has the best fire rates for its respective weapon classes, making it a formidable option to wield.
