Best Riveter Loadout for Multiplayer
| Muzzle | Bryson Choke |

| Barrel | SA Draven-20 Long Barrel |
| Magazine | 30 Round Mag |
| Ammunition | .410 Gauge Incendiary |
| Underbarrel | XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop |
This Shotgun has a high Fire Rate. The default Effective Damage Range is only 3.6 meters, but you can get a kill in 2 shots if you hit the enemy in the head or upper torso within that range. In that case, the TTK is among the highest of all weapons. It's not flawless in any way because of its short range but it can be very powerful indoors or in small maps.
You can get 2 shot kills at a longer range by changing the Ammunition to the .410 Gauge Incendiary and you can also disrupt the enemy's vision with the flame effect (although it blocks your own view as well). This build is specifically for the .410 Gauge Incendiary Ammunition, using the Muzzle to decrease the Shotgun Spread and extending the range using the Barrel. If you want to do something about the strong Recoil you can lose the Underbarrel and use a Stock or Rear Grip that provides better Recoil Control.
Keep in mind that the .410 Gauge Incendiary makes 2 shot kills possible because it also causes Burn damage, so if the enemy is wearing EOD Padding to decrease damage from explosives and fire, it may take more than 2 shots to get a kill depending on the range.
