Thanks for the vid, too cool! Just did that with my Win 1300 pump giving me 9 rounds(7/1/1).

Did some digging on this. seems that it works ok on some semi-autos, but can cause major problems in pumps.  

  • May 22, 2013

Austin was right. Major problems for pumps It worked when I put it in, was able to cycle the action and everything and now after being behind my headboard for a few days, I can't cycle the pump. I can't mail it in for repair or transport it legally like this. Looks like I screwed the pooch.

You can ghost/carrier load a Remington 870, too.

How to rob the Ghost Train in Warzone 2's The Haunting event

Fight your way through Fire and Brimstone to loot the Heart of the Train.

Warzone 2 Ghost Train - Gas mask soldiers

The Ghost Train is one of the new spooktacular bosses that was added to Warzone 2 as part of The Haunting event. This year, you'll be hunting hellish monstrosities, from familiar faces like Diablo's Butcher, to, yes, a literal train. Your objective isn't to destroy this one, though. Instead, you'll be infiltrating Fire and Brimstone —solid train name—and stealing its heart, plus any extra cash and guns you can carry.

It's worth noting that the easiest way to steal the Heart of the Train is to attempt it in DMZ, where there are fewer opponents, and so less chance of getting gunned in the back while you calmly try to disarm a tripwire. All that said, here's how to find and beat the Warzone Ghost Train boss and steal its heart. 

How to find the Ghost Train

Luckily, it's easy to locate Fire and Brimstone—it is a train, after all. When you load in, simply scan the train tracks on the map and look for a skull icon at the head of a set of carriages. As is usual for trains in DMZ, the closer you are to it, the better, since this will give you a headstart in taking its heart before all the other players arrive trying to do the same. 

Besides being a train, it's easy to recognise Fire and Brimstone because of the giant burning skull on its front engine—as with any boss, you'll also get the message "Fire and Brimstone approaches" when you're nearby. Unlike regular trains, you'll have to hop on around halfway down its length and make your way through, which is where the real fun begins.

 How to steal the Ghost Train heart 

Once you jump onto the flatbed towards the centre of the train, your challenge will be making your way through the carriages towards the front. There are multiple threats to watch out for:

  • Decoy soldiers
  • Anti-Personnel mines
  • Tripwire grenades
  • Claymores in between the carriages
  • Sentry guns
  • Oh and other players coming up behind you if you're not fast enough

The Decoys and Anti-Personnel mines are easy enough to spot and shoot, as are the tripwires to disarm. The ones most likely to catch you out are the Claymores hidden off to the sides of each connecting section between carriages. As you move through the train, you'll want to check the chests for cash and Heat-Resistant Keys , which you can use to unlock the flaming chests once you get to the front of the train.

Dealing with all of these traps is a bit of a nightmare, especially if you've got other players pressuring you— have your squadmates watch your back while you clear the traps . If you're in a real bad spot, it is possible to sprint and slide through the Sentry Guns and jump the Claymores if you're agile enough, though I wouldn't recommend it unless it's do-or-die. You could also bring a Riot Shield to tank the Sentry Guns while a squadmate deals with them. If you want to be particularly devilish, you could even lay mines and Claymores behind you as you go to slow down pursuers.

When you get to the front, you'll find a statue of Lilith from Diablo 4 holding the Heart of the Train , so quickly grab it to get the rewards for your squad and loot the containers around the room. Once done, use the portal to escape above the train where you can parachute away to safety.

  5. How to Ghost Load a Shotgun

    Yes, you can "ghost load" a Remington 870. This simply means that you can load the shotgun without chambering a round. To do this, you first need to remove the magazine cap and spring from the shotgun. Next, insert a shell into the loading port (located just behind the ejection port on the right side of the receiver).

    1 2 Next trackerboy · #2 · Feb 21, 2015 It's also called floating the shell. Duck hunters call it floating the 4th which is highly illegal in waterfowling. I think it works better with some gun designs than it does with others. Benellis and some Berettas are known to be able to do this.

    #1 It is possible... I have the 6+1 Express model with the +2 mag extension. This won't work with buckshot, but it will with birdshot. I'm stuck running my 870 for now during a 3-gun, so I'm looking for anything that will get me closer to a 9 round gun. One in the chamber, one under the bolt, and 6 in the tube.
