Shotguns

We’ll start with the section that requires much fewer words than the following ones. Why is that? Well because regardless of the class you play, you, in fact, do not need to buy yourself a new shotgun. The game provides you with a stock one, which does its work just perfectly - cleans close quarters areas.

Believe it or not, buying other shotguns will be just a waste of certificates since a stock shotgun often requires no more than 2 precise shots to kill off a target in the 20 meters range. Twice as more, if you’re battling a Heavy Assault who utilized shield ability.

Not to mention the fact that the stock shotguns are semi-automatic, which gives you room for a mistake to make now and then. Of course, you may think that a pump-action shotgun will be able to one-shot an enemy. In theory - it can, but it only will if you’re in a range of 5 meters, which is more than enough to quickly kill off an enemy with a stock shotgun with a headshot, and after 5 meters range, pump-action shotguns will require the same amount of shots to kill off the enemy as semi-automatic shotguns, so buying pump action is not really worth it. 

Thus being said, your best choice is not to make any at all when it comes to shotguns, just stick to the stock ones and you’ll be doing great enough.
