Strategy

The Heavy Shotgun is very powerful and best effective at close range. Firing in short bursts can save you a lot of ammunition.

Tips

  • Since it's a shotgun, use this at close range.

  • You can wear speed-up helmets. For example, the Great Samurai Helmet to offset its low mobility.
  • Play on small maps. e.g. Pool Party, where this weapon works best.
  • In close ranges, it is possible for one to hold and fire, but never do this before you get near the opponent, as most of the shots wouldn't reach the opponent.
  • Pair this with a triple laser spam set, so you can easily finish off players who you have hit with a laser without spamming your lasers again.
  • Have a good aim, it is easy to miss shots with this weapon, since the bullet range is slightly farther than other shotguns.
  • Stay mobile while wielding it.
  • This weapon is a hard counter against Melee users.

  • Try outmaneuvering the enemy by strafing around while firing.
  • Area damage weapons can make short work on its users.
