The above build focuses on improving the gun's damage output and sprint-to-fire speed. The Sawed-Off barrel and Packed Powder ammo type are the major highlights of this Combat Shotgun class. Together, they boost the movement speed, damage, range, and widen the pellet spread.

For the muzzle, you can use either use M97 Choke for tighter or A5 Smoothbore for wider pellet spread. Since the Sawed-Off barrel already widens spread, we recommend using Choke for best results. Vital proficiency is also crucial as it deals headshot damage to the upper body.

CGC 2M stock, SMLE underbarrel, and Fabric Grip help with the much-required sprint-to-fire speed and hip-fire accuracy. However, you may swap to the CGC 3M Adjustable stock if you aim-down-sight (ADS) a lot.

Combat Shotgun is currently broken and needs to be fixed soon. At the moment, you can kill an enemy even if a single pellet hits them anywhere on the body.
