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.
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..

Strategy Guide
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.
