The Combat Shotgun was overpowered at Vanguard's launch and remains dominant even in Call of Duty: Warzone. It has a one-shot kill potential up close, which is rare to see in a weapon other than a Sniper Rifle. With the right attachments, you can make the gun even more powerful and viable.

With these attachments, we improve the Combat Shotgun's damage, hipfire accuracy, sprint-to-fire time, and movement speed. There are definitely alternate options that you can use in your build. For instance, using Packed Powder ammo type extends the damage range while hurting the fire rate.
You can best pair the Shotgun with a mid-to-long range Assault Rifle, such as the Cooper Carbine. Make sure that the weapon you pair it with has a decent mobility and fire rate. This will aid the Shotgun's poor range effectiveness and sluggish speed.
