USAS-12

The Daewoo Precision Industries Universal Sporting Automatic Shotgun 12 Gauge (USAS-12), known as the USAS-12 in-game, Is a shotgun in Surviv.io. It was added into the game on the "Into the Woods" update on October 18, 2018 and was removed at the end of the event.

The USAS-12 shoots explosive rounds that deal a large amount of damage, being able to kill a survivor with no armor in one shot.

The USAS-12 has good range for a shotgun- about a 2x or 4x's distance- but it is still adviesd to have an LMG for long-range encounters.

It can be obtained from the Eye Bunker, in the second room during the Spookiversary event, but again removed after the ending of Halloween.

Tips

 * Be careful while firing this weapon, as you can damage yourself with the blast.
 * Due to how rare and strong the gun is, many people will want it, so make sure to be well-equipped.
 * If your team does manage to get the USAS-12, your squad will attract a lot of attention. Stay together and play your best to fend off attacking squads. The USAS-12 user can help out their teammates a lot with this because the explosion coupled with the high ammo per magazine can take out groups easily.

Against

 * At close range, rushing USAS-12 users with high DPS weapons like the MP220 or Saiga-12 can take them out before they deal significant damage to you.
 * Picking users off from long distance with the BAR M1918 or even the Mosin Nagant can be used to obtain a USAS-12 without being touched at all by it.
 * Players can also hide in a bush or under a tree, cook a Frag Grenade for 3-4 seconds, and then throw at the USAS user.

Trivia

 * The USAS-12's use of fragmentation rounds may be a reference to the game Battlefield 3 or Battlefield 4, where the USAS-12 also made appearances. In both games, the USAS-12 was notorious for its compatibility with 12 gauge frag rounds and players deemed the weapon extremely overpowered.
 * It is the second automatic shotgun in the game, the first being the Saiga-12.
 * Like the Saiga-12, the USAS-12's firing speed is also extremely slow in-game when compared to its real-life counterpart.
 * It has the largest magazine out of all shotguns with 10 shells per magazine.
 * This is the first gun to shoot explosive rounds.
 * It's the third limited time weapon added in the game, after the Peacemaker and Model 94.
 * The explosion sound of the USAS's frags sound like the MIRV Grenades first explosion.
 * This automatic shotgun was manufactured in South Korea during the 1980s.
