Lever Action Shotgun

Functionality[]

The Lever Action Shotgun is a close range, high damage shotgun with a wide pellet spread. The weapon fires slowly as the lever must be cranked between shots, similar to the pump on the Pump Shotgun.

The Lever Action Shotgun reloads 1 shell at a time, and its reload time statistic is how long it takes for a zero ammo reload to a full magazine.

• Damage falloff begins at 5 meters (1 tile).
• Damage steadily decreases down to 68% of its maximum at 10 meters (2 tiles).
• Damage decreases down to 63% 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 Lever Action Shotgun does the most damage when all pellets are landed on an up close headshot. As such, using the weapon at further ranges is ill-advised.
• This shotgun's Common and Uncommon variants are able to eliminate a player in three shots while the Rare to Legendary variants in only two shots, mixing it with its great fire rate, almost equal to that of the (OLD) Heavy Shotgun, makes it a really reliable option.
  • However, it has less range than most shotguns, a slow reload time and also a slower equip time speed than both Pump Shotgun and Tactical Shotgun.
  • Because the Lever can eliminate in 3 body shots in Common and Uncommon rarities, it is highly advisable to use a Tactical, Auto or Double Barrel Shotguns instead of it in those rarities.
  • However, in the Rare, Epic and Legendary rarities, it eliminates in two body shots. Although those three shotguns can eliminate faster, but the Lever is overall a more reliable option.
• Because of its relatively slow equip time, make sure to extract this shotgun before you go to the enemy.
• The Lever Action Shotgun can be defined as a mix between a Pump Shotgun and a Double Barrel Shotgun. However if you're skilled with both of this weapons they're, generally speaking, stronger. This doesn't mean that its useless though, because it remains a powerful shotgun if you're practical with it.
• Try to use this shotgun at really close ranges to maximize your damage input, in about the same range you would use a Double Barrel Shotgun or a Legacy Dragon's Breath Shotgun.

Counters[]

• The Lever Action Shotgun has a very large spread, even when ADS, it can be very inconsistent, so other Shotguns can be more favorable when engaging with an opponent wielding a Lever Action Shotgun.
