Shotgun Stats and Strategy Guide
Shotguns are specifically designed to fire shell cartridges which are mostly used for close combat. Shell cartridges usually contain either small pellets (for smaller targets) or buck shots (multiple large pellets for larger targets) that scatter towards the target. Shotgun bullets often hit multiple parts of the body due to its contents, making it a deadly weapon at point blank range.
However, the shotgun is less useful on longer distances due to its tendency of scattering its bullet contents. So, the shotgun is good to be partnered with pistols or sub machine guns that you can use for longer distances.
One of the most used and recommended shotgun in the game is the S1897 which is usually used for Close Quarters Combat Loadouts (searching in houses and other tight areas in the map). The S1897 should be partnered with any assault rifles or sub machine guns in case you will get ambushed from long distance.
