The KS-23 is a pump-action shotgun that can only be obtained via Red Crates in the Military Bunker, and is a part of the shotgun class, with such weapons like SPAS-12 and TAC-14.
==Tips On Usage==
First, the player will need a secondary as this weapon only carries four shots. The KS-23 is best-paired with the M4A1, G3, or AK-47, as they all do high damage and support the user in-case the KS-23 runs out of ammo, and the player will need some heavy armor because the KS-23 is a very valuable gun and it is best to equip the Heavy Tactical Armor, Tactical Helmet, and Tactical Leggings in order to reduce damage done to the player, the KS-23 will also one-shot any armor close-range and regardless of armor type. The firerate on the KS-23 is the longest in the game, leaving the user vulnerable in between shots. It is recommended to be used on singular targets or with a squad, as solo usage on zergs/large squads is ineffective due to low mag size and the aforementioned fire rate.
