Tactics

 * ￼This weapon is a easy weapon to use for beginners, making it useful for them
 * You can use the pellet spread in team play to hit multiple opponents
 * The crossbow and birdzooka can easily kill unwary shotgun users due to their range
 * Burst rifle is another effective weapon, after firing 3 rounds, release the aiming jpystick until it cools down and fires again, to minimize move speed penalty and take less damage
 * A common tactic is to stay in bushes and engage enemies coming near you
 * It's a bad idea to engage minigun users, the minigun is more accurate and deals more damage per second
 * It will destroy an item box in one full attack, 2 hits for a metal box unless you crit 2 of the 4 pellets
 * Against enemy bots, you can lie near a wall and take them out as they try to engage you
 * You move faster with this weapon while firing compared to other ranged weapons
 * Try not to engage at range, using it from far away deals less damage per second than a pistol

Trivia

 * ￼This shotgun is sometimes called the tactical shotgun
 * Despite looking like a pump-action shotgun, it is never seen reloading
