=== Tips ===
* Like most rifles, it is an effective general purpose weapon. Use this weapon at medium to short ranges most of the time.
* Use the scope for more accurate shots.
* Aim for the head as this will deal more damage.
* Strafe around while firing to minimize damage taken.
* Conserve ammo and be on a look out for ammo pickups, as using this weapon requires a constant supply of ammo for prolonged use
** Alternatively, use an Ammo Pack at the start of a match to get one extra magazine.
* This weapon is useful for tearing down enemy armor and effective against mobile targets.
* The shotgun is effective at dealing with enemies up close, make sure to equip it when the enemies are in hallways or rooms.
** This especially said when engaging melee users.
* Try not to waste all your shotgun shots as the magazine only holds a limited amount of shots before needing to reload.
* The shotgun can be used as for tearing through enemy armor, and then using the rifle to finish them off.
* Avoid using the shotgun in open areas, as the spread will expand overtime.
=== Counters ===
