Gatekeeper Shotgun

Functionality[]

The Gatekeeper Shotgun is a fast firing, close range shotgun that deals a high amount of damage with a low magazine capacity and fires a unique triangular pellet spread.

The Gatekeeper 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 9 meters (1.8 tiles).
• Damage steadily decreases to 75% of its maximum at 15 meters (3 tiles).
• Damage steadily decreases to 35% of its maximum at 21 meters (4.2 tiles).
• Damage reaches its minimum value of 25% of its maximum at 27 meters (5.4 tiles) and does not do damage beyond it.

Strategy Guide[]

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

• The Gatekeeper Shotgun is a very good shotgun for pressuring in a close-range fight due to the fast fire rate and high damage.
• The one thing that the Gatekeeper Shotgun suffers from is a small magazine, with only 3 shots per mag, however, this is offset by one of the fastest reloads in the Shotgun category, being on par with an AR for reload speed.
• While the triangular spread is a bit offputting to some, it's actually very forgiving, since it guarantees that at least 3 or 4 of the 10 pellets of a shot will hit an opponent in the upper torso or head.
• Because the Gatekeeper Shotgun is such a fast-firing, high damage Shotgun, it lends itself very well to two-weapon loadouts, allowing use with aslower firing AR such as the O.X.R. Rifle or a more accurate SMG such as the Twin Mag SMG to deal with mid-long range.

Counters[]

• The Gatekeeper Shotgun has two direct competitors: the Outlaw Shotgun and the Tactical Shotgun. The Tactical Shotgun is a very similar weapon, but trades some fire rate, reload speed, and consistency, for overall higher damage and a much larger magazine, whereas the Outlaw is raw power and reload speed in exchange for one less shell and a wider spread. Both can be very good against a player with a Gatekeeper Shotgun.
• The other option when dealing with an opponent with a Gatekeeper Shotgun is to simply stay at mid-long range. The spread, while unique, doesn't let the Gatekeeper Shotgun have much range outside of close-range.
