Combat Shotgun

Functionality[]

The Combat Shotgun is a longer ranged shotgun, with a fast fire rate. It is designed for longer ranged engagements than other shotguns, with its maximum damage taking longer to fall-off. As such, the weapon also has a tight spread. The Combat Shotgun reloads 2 shells at a time, and its reload time statistic is how long it takes for a zero ammo reload to a full magazine.

The Combat Shotgun is a Hitscan weapon that fires a spread of 10 pellets when both aiming down sights and hipfiring. Aiming down sights tightens the spread of pellets.

Damage falloff:

• Damage falloff begins at 13 meters (2.6 tiles).
• Damage decreases down to 88% of its maximum at 15 meters (3 tiles).
• Damage steadily decreases down to 68% of its maximum at 20 meters (4 tiles).
• Damage decreases down to 52% of its maximum at 30 meters (6 tiles)
• It deals damage until 60 meters (12 tiles).

Strategy Guide[]

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

• The Combat Shotgun can be quite effective at mid-range due to its tight pellet spread.
• Combining the Combat Shotgun with a Jetpack or any other mobility item that allows you to stay in air for a period of time can be very beneficial, allowing a mix of high damage and high mobility.
• The Combat Shotgun reloads 2 shells at a time, meaning that you can recover easily from getting pushed unexpectedly by an opponent.

Counters[]

• The Combat Shotgun has a very tight spread, and while in most cases this can be beneficial, when hipfired, it can be very punishing to miss a shot. Engaging an opponent with a Shotgun that has a more forgiving hipfire spread can be beneficial.

Weapon ID[]
