Tactics[]
Basically a Shotgun with higher damage and accuracy, it is a powerful weapon that can take down most enemies quickly. Compared to other shotguns, it has a larger magazine and a decently fast reload speed, but it possesses the same flaws, namely slow attack speed and short range, meaning the wielder can easily be swarmed. Best used for support.
Recommended gear[]
- Ammunition Mods buffs the already high damage.
- Slugs can rectify short range effectively, with variants capable of increasing damage. Also improves knockback capability.
- Extended Mags increase the ammo capacity, reducing the chances of a zombie surviving before the survivor has to reload.
- Glasses increase the short effective range, with some variants increasing accuracy as well.
- Bandoliers mitigate the long reload time, reducing the time in which a survivor is left vulnerable.
