This guide will contain the many details of the Shotguns, some tips with using the shotgun, and loadouts that work well with the shotguns. Notes: SP=Supply Points *=Estimate ROF=Rate of Fire RPM=Rounds per min CQB/CBC=Close Quarter Battle(s)/Close Quarter Combat Damage Drop is the damage you lose over range with weapons. Damage Drop Start is the range you start lose damage. Damage Drop Shift is the range you shift in losing more damage. Damage Drop End is the range you end up losing the most damage. Fatal Funnel is when you're fighting in buildings and a enemy is hiding in a room waiting to ambush you. 100% Damage is normal damage. Firstly, some details of the shotguns.

When equipping slugs for your shotgun, remember that you'll be shooting one projectile resulting with decrease spread instead of 8 projectiles that have normal spread with the buckshots. Hipfiring with the shotguns will sightly decrease the shotgun damage. While also silencing the noise of the shotgun, The Suppressor also decreases the shotgun damage. Reloading can be cancelled mid-reload animation. When against armored targets aim for the head,legs or arms to put out the most damage. Constantly move around when getting in a shoot-out with a target. Avoid the "Fatal Funnel" when in a CQB. Make sure to look around while under some cover and lean right or left to search around.Also smoke/flash the room you're going to. Recommended on long range maps: Foregrip and Slugs, Sights(Optional) Make sure you still have Buckshot/Slugs, resupply when resupplies are available to you. If outta current ammo loaded, make sure to switch to your trusted secondary. Foregrip gives increase accuracy with sightly increased recoil. Remember to turn that laser sight/flashlight off if not needed at the moment.(B key is default) CO-OP Tips: When your team is in the middle of a CQB, help your team by flanking the enemies When playing on the Survival Gamemode and using the TOZ, reload and move often, don't stick to one place and don't get caught with your pants down. When playing on the Conquer Gamemode, with using the M590, smoke and breach when attacking a objective.(Mostly used in GM, can be use in other instances.) Manage your weight, the less weight equals being more faster to do flanks or help teammates in reach an objective. When playing on the Hunt Gamemode or Night Maps, with using the M590, flank often and be sneaky.(Suppressor Optional) When playing the Checkpoint Gamemode, stay with your team and help suppress the enemy, also smoke and breach when reaching an objective. PVP Tips: The 3 S's of engagements(Speed,Smoke,Suppression) Less weight will make you be speedy with your shotgun which means flank often. Smokes areas where you think enemies would be and then go in and shoot!(Flashes also work too) When playing on long range maps,stay and help your team with slugs and suppression. Remember don't go Rambo, you can't easily be 2v1 or 3v1 since shotguns can't deal with multiple people at the same time. Equipped with a C4/IED, play defensively if protecting an objective by hiding the explosive device near it and getting into cover and peeking with your shotgun. Pushing with to an objective use your Equipped C4/IED and play offensively, throw the explosive device on the objective, blow it, then go in with shotgun in hand. Loadouts: CO-OP: Survival: Class:Sapper,Bomber. Primary: TOZ(Foregrip,No sights(or sights if you prefer),Slugs for Long-range maps,Flashlights for night maps. Secondary: Any does good.

Armory6 Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Holy buckets of detail Billie! Great post bro. Figures though, since you are basically a master with the shotguns in Ins. 4 Quote
Mr.Karizmatic Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Question: what is CQC, CBC? CQB/CBC=Close Quarter Battle(s)/Close Quarter Combat , I think he suppose to write CQB AND CBC , He just misspelled . 1 Quote
Pabbatt Blue Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I think it was just fine. Great work and time spent Billie. Glad you're here to stay! 1 Quote
jballou Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Great guide, we should work to get more of these going. One thing these two items aren't correct: Hipfiring with the shotguns will sightly decrease the shotgun damage. While also silencing the noise of the shotgun, The Suppressor also decreases the shotgun damage. There is no damage modifier for hipfire or suppressors, although hipfiring usually means some of the pellets won't strike the enemy as precisely as aimed fire. 1 Quote
