Auto Shotgun

Functionality[]

The Auto Shotgun is a fast firing, medium damage shotgun. It is deadly at close range but struggles at medium to long ranges due to its wider spread. The Auto Shotgun reloads 2 shells at a time.

The Auto Shotgun is a Hitscan weapon that fires a spread of 12 pellets when both aiming down sights and hipfiring. Aiming down sights tightens the spread of pellets.

Damage falloff:

• Damage falloff begins at 8.75 meters (1.75 tiles).
• Damage decreases down to 90% of its maximum at 10 meters (2 tiles).
• Damage steadily decreases down to 70% of its maximum at 15 meters (3 tiles).
• It deals damage until 30 meters (6 tiles).

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• The Auto Shotgun is a great weapon for beginners, as it has a high fire rate in comparison to most shotguns, has a wide pellet spread, and deals high damage at very close ranges.
• The Auto Shotgun has high damage fall-off, meaning it will often be out-ranged by other shotguns. It's best to get as close to an opponent as possible while using the Auto Shotgun.
  • That being said, the Auto Shotgun is also excellent for frequently peeking out from behind cover, as its high fire rate means you can deal chip damage quickly where other shotguns would struggle to do so.
• The Auto Shotgun, other than its reload method and damage, is identical in stats to the Tactical Shotgun, and due to being able to reload 2 shells at a time, and the higher overall damage, is overall the better Shotgun. That being said, the Tactical Shotgun does have much higher structure damage, which allows it to be a very powerful fight starter in Builds playlists, something the Auto Shotgun is a little less exceptional in.

Counters[]

• The Auto Shotgun, like the Tactical Shotgun, has a very slow reload. Take advantage of this by engaging with an opponent whilst they attempt to reload their Auto Shotgun.

Weapon ID[]

The Auto Shotgun is referred to as Shotgun Core DPS in the files.
