Crowd Disperser

The Crowd Disperser is a Primary weapon introduced in the 27.7.0 Riot Update.
== Description ==
It is a large shotgun with a medium-sized riot shield in between the barrel of the gun and the body. It has a 4x Zoom and inflicts the Bleeding attribute. It deals a significantly high damage, boasts an impressive rate of fire (due to Multiple Shots), contains a moderate ammo capacity and low mobility.
== Appearance ==
It appears to be a large SPAS - 12 shotgun modified with a second barrel and a riot shield on the front most part of the gun’s body. It is mainly painted gunmetal gray, with cobalt blue accents and a faded red wrapping on the handle as well as the pump.
== Performance ==
When the fire button is pressed, the user will simultaneously fire three large spreads of buckshot. These shots have the Bleeding attribute, in which inflict 3 /1 sec for 10 seconds. When reloading, the user will insert 15 more shotgun shells into the loading port, then repump the shotgun.
== Strategy ==
=== Tips ===
* Like any shotgun, it is best to use this weapon at close range.
* This weapon is particularly powerful when ambushing lone targets or dueling.
* It's best not to use this at long ranges, as the slow firing speed and large cone of spread will leave you vulnerable to counterattacks.
* The Crowd Disperser’s shield protects against those with physical bullets, but be wary of opponents with a Wall Break or Area Damage weapon since they will breach the shield.
* Use this weapon against heavily armored players. The high rate of fire combined with Multiple Shots is enough to finish off any opponents close to you.
* Aim for the head to maximize the damage of this weapon.
* Strafe around while firing.
* The Bleeding attribute is useful for finishing off enemies who escape from you into a hiding spot, as it inflicts 3 /1 sec for 10 seconds.
=== Counters ===
* Pick off the user at long range, but make sure you either use a Wall Break weapon to shoot through the shield or shoot them from behind to avoid the shield entirely.
* Area Damage weapons can go through the shield due to splash damage, as can Wall Break weapons due to wall break.
* Take advantage of the slow mobility speed of this weapon to strafe around the user while firing to avoid getting hit.
* Try to wait until the user is out of ammo, then attack while they are vulnerable.
* Avoid getting too close to the user, back off while firing to minimize damage taken.
* Avoid fire from this weapon by taking cover behind an object or by fleeing from the user while using a weapon with a high fire rate.
== Attributes ==
*Shotgun - Fires a single spread with shells that spread out in multiple directions.
*Multiple Shots - Fires 3 simultaneous shots with a single press of the fire button.
*Shield - Blocks all physical projectiles from hitting the area in front of the player. Susceptible to Area Damage due to splash, as well as Wall Break.
*4x Zoom - Allows the player to zoom their camera towards their target. When the fire button is pressed, zoom is exited.
*Bleeding (hidden) - If the target is hit by a shot, inflicts 3 /1 sec for 10 seconds.
== Weapon Setups ==
* Pair this weapon with a high mobility melee such as the Compliance Creator to travel around maps, as this weapon has a low mobility.
