Info
Most shotguns are the only useful close-to-mid range. Each shotgun is useful depending on your target and your equipment. For example, the M870 is useful against opponents with weaker guns like pistols as long as you strafe. The MP220 is good against opponents who don't know you're there, so you can get two quick shots off and kill them before they know you're there. The Saiga-12 is useful in almost any situation. The SPAS-12 is useful against enemies that are slightly further away. The USAS-12 is good for medium to close-range combat and can be used as an MP220 or a Saiga-12.The M1100 is best used as a cross between the M870 and the MP220, meant to be used close up for maximum damage, but can fire fast. The Super 90 is probably the best shotgun for long-range, as it is basically a sniper rifle that shoots faster and uses shotgun ammo.
