FaZe Swagg demonstrates why the Gallo SA12 shotgun earned its ban from Warzone tournaments with this devastating loadout.
In the high-stakes world of competitive Warzone, custom lobbies pit 150 top players against each other. To maintain fairness, certain overpowered weapons like the Gallo SA12 are prohibited. This shotgun shreds enemies with a few hipfire shots, prompting pros to test it in public matches.
FaZe Swagg shared that during the recent Twitch Rivals Showdown, the Gallo was permitted. "The first custom match we played, every pro ran a Gallo, and everyone was like 'yeah, that's why it's forbidden,'" he explained. He called it "probably the best one-shot in the game against a really sweaty player." Post-event, it's banned across all custom tournaments—no shotguns allowed.
Public matches remain fair game, and Swagg paired this Gallo with the Stoner 63 for a staggering 43-kill game, proving its potential.
Swagg optimized this setup for close-range dominance and elite mobility, making it hard for opponents to track him amid the chaos.
The Agency Starter muzzle and 21.4″ Reinforced Heavy barrel extend the Gallo's effective range for greater versatility. The Ember Observation Point laser and Wireframe stock boost handling and sprint speed, while the STANAG 12 Rnd Tube enables multi-kill chains without reloading.
