This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- When choosing between the Heavy Shotgun and the Tactical Shotgun, keep in mind that while the Heavy Shotgun may be more consistent due to its tighter pellet spread, it has a slower fire rate, and smaller magazine than the Tactical Shotgun.
Counters[]
- The Heavy Shotgun suffers at close range do to a poor hipfire spread. Keeping within close range when engaging with an opponent wielding a Heavy Shotgun can be very beneficial.
