Pump-Action Shotgun

The Pump-Action Shotgun is a Primary Shotgun.

Combat
The Pump-Action Shotgun is an ideal shotgun for both close range and medium range. All the shots stay relatively close at farther ranges, and therefore has great damage output.

However, reloading is very slow because it reloads one shell at a time. To use this weapon best, make sure it has full ammunition when entering combat and you have protection or a safe area (where you can retreat to) to give yourself time to reload.

Strategies
The Pump-Action Shotgun is a versatile weapon that excels in extremely close to medium close range distances. On the newer level of play, players will tend to directly move towards an opponent and shoot the gun from the him, completely contrasting its strength in its aimed shots. Proper movement would involve being a harder target to hit while up close with an enemy and shooting them to overpower and oppress their efforts. Avoid fighting players aware of your play style and stay unpredictable as you are easily blocked by melee weapons. Always keep bullets to their highest count as when engaging, it is possible to miss key shots.
