Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Thunder Shotgun fires 2 shots at the same time unlike other Pump Shotguns. This means that it will consume more Shells and take longer to reload.
- The Thunder Shotgun hits very hard, at the cost of having a low fire rate and having 4 shots before reloading.
- Thunder Shotgun excels in tight box fights. Hold your edit, peek right, and let the full blast hit before resetting the wall.
- If the Thunder Pump Shotgun does not one-shot kill your enemy, you can finish them off with an SMG or Assault Rifle.
- Due to this guns wider spread, hitting around corners is easier than other Pump Shotguns, utilizing this well can easily eliminate opponents before they can properly get an angle on you.
Counters[]
- Due to their high rate of fire, Submachine Guns, like Compact SMG and Machine SMG, can generally counter a Thunder Shotgun if caught off guard.
