Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Most of the tips and counters on the Combat Shotgun's page can also be applied to the Modular Combat Shotgun.
  • A Weapon Mod combination of the Suppressor and Laser can allow the Modular Combat Shotgun to have not only a very tight pellet spread, but also reduce its already somewhat quiet firing sound (for a Shotgun, that is), to almost no sound, rewarding stealthy plays, and aggressive plays.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • Modular Combat Shotgun resembles the Benelli M2 Super 90.[1]
    • It is configured into a Taran Tactical M2 Ultimate 3 Gun, which is the exact same as the one that appears in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
    • The way the player reloads the gun is very similar to how John Wick himself reloads it in the film, using a technique known as a Quad Load.
  • Despite the Modular Combat Shotgun being unable to equip the Speedgrip Speedgrip, it is still able to appear with the Close Quarters prefix, to where it would have no Underbarrel Mod equipped.
