**However, this weapon only has a magazine size of three and a lower headshot multiplier than the Pump Shotgun, making this weapon slightly weaker than a Pump Shotgun.
* The Makeshift Shotgun is one weapon that you could get away with not crafting. Its high fire rate and decent damage allows you to eliminate a player slightly quicker than the Pump Shotgun if your shots land nicely.
*The Makeshift shotgun is a good weapon to use early-game due to its headshot of over 100, guaranteeing an elimination if non-shielded.
