Appearance

It has a silver folded-stock, a brown leather grip, an olive receiver, a green pump, There is a bloodstain on the barrel and shaft of the weapon. It appears to be jungle themed.
Performance
This weapon shoots multiple regular-looking bullets in a spread like any other shotgun, so fighting in close range maximizes its effectiveness, even though these bullets do have instant bullet travel time.
When reloading, there is a pumping animation on this weapon, which is actually the Simple Shotgun's old pumping animation before the Campaign Update. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
Tips
- This weapon is deadly at close range, but because of the bullet spread, it's not so great at getting long-range kills.
- If possible, try to pair this shotgun with Butt of the Rifle to reduce its pellet spread to be able to shoot at longer ranges.
- Aim for the head, because it will increase its Efficiency per shot.
- Play in close-range maps. It will be more useful.
- Maximize this weapon's upgrade to your higher level for it to be useful in higher levels.
Counters
- Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
- Stay away from the player using it, as the weapon won't perform very well in long-range.
- If you are forced to go on head-to-head combat against these users, strafe and circle them. Try jumping and dodge all the bullets.
- Attack its users from behind.
Recommended Maps
Any close-range maps.
Equipment Setups
Have a weapon with a long-range attack, like a Sniper weapon. Also be sure to have a weapon with a high rate of fire, like the Dual Laser Blasters, so you can melt foes rapidly at medium range.
- Being a shotgun, this isn't a bad clan weapon, considering its high damage, reasonable fire rate, and average capacity, this could very easily give you good game-play at overpowering your enemies at close ranges. Like any other shotgun, have a backup weapon for when you run out of ammo and for medium ranges (something like the Thunderer or the Emperor’s Servants). And a good long-range weapon such as the Wyvern, One Shot, etc. (Any Sniper you feel comfortable with).
