iPlumbum 80 Posted May 28, 2018 Shotguns in APB are designed to be used when you are in someones face, why would you want to go Marksman mode and zoom in? lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsExo 3 Posted May 28, 2018 Never aim with a shotgun and try to use your corners wise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BladeSHarp 0 Posted May 28, 2018 Using corners is the main way, but a lot of it is predicting the movement of players. If you know where they will be you just aim in that particular position at the right time & shoot. It depends really, Asylum is a good place to practice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevv 49 Posted May 28, 2018 If you're using a JG, try IR3 instead of Cooling Jacket 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CookiePuss 5373 Posted May 30, 2018 As has been stated, being a high burst damage weapon, cover is your friend. Pop in and out. And as far as marksman mode, I use it when jumping and shooting shotguns, especially over walls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SandyBitch 31 Posted June 1, 2018 I heard, it works too, if you dont just aim straight towards your enemy, but predict the way they may move and shoot that direction, gives you a better hit registration. It`s been awhile, since I played shotgun alot and maybe half way decent, so it might be dated. Also, I agree, dont ever use any Cooling Jacket version, they are broken on JG, maybe even on any shotgun for awhile now, you get loads of ghost shots in return.

CookiePuss 5373 Posted June 1, 2018 Also if anyone tells you to add orange mods just stop asking that person for advice. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alcholism 2 Posted June 7, 2018 I suggest putting Improved rifling 3 on your shotgun and then jump go marksmanship mode as you shoot (doing that helps me feel more accurate) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CombatMedic02 25 Posted June 28, 2018 Shotguns are tricky to get used to. You have to use cover to push up and to get closer to opponents that are using longer range weapons. Flank around your enemy, sneak up to them and take them by surprise. Taking cover behind corners and waiting for opposition to come to you is another tactic. Just be smart really, you need to get close so duck in and out of cars and walls till you are close enough to get the kill. Don’t aim down the sights with shotguns as there isn’t really a need, you can hipfire pretty accurately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crunk 88 Posted July 7, 2018 buy the revelations pack, equip the strife, put IR3, Bandolier 3, and 3PS on it. Profit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_chain 176 Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Don't aim, pop in and out of cover. Abuse movement, as in: always sprint, be controlled but erratic so that the enemy can't land shots. Crouching sometimes works for me when I'm about to die, and i'm able to land the last shell. Also, I've found out that jumping is a pretty stupid idea, you lose control of movement and you become an ez target. Get a magnum secondary, for long range encounters. And, yeah, since it's a shotgun, get used to flanking and hugging corners. Those two guys and the magnum will probably be your best friends for as long as you play shottie Edited October 22, 2018 by _chain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So that if your ammo is low, you can quickly swich and get that killing blow in. As soon as i see the 'reload' prompt (i have about 2 or 3 shots in my clip still) i swich to my secondary. I usually have 3-point sling so that if i have missed enough with my secondary, i can swich back to my shotgun for that last shot. So, basically, you won't be able to play long range, but if you know the map well enough, you will barely ever need to. So, grenades: i use low-yeilds for the low prime duration, and they go well with flack jacket. Although, i'd recommend clotting agent 2 or 3 if you are planning to run into cqc often. You can also use concs, although they have low spread but high damage, but you shotgun does high damage as well, so i'd say frags are better than concs in this situation for the increased spread. But just learn how best you play. Some people play fragile, some even play kevlar. Just use what suits you best. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
