Description
The Navigation Shotgun is a powerful shotgun, possessing great damage and an amazing firerate. It has a good status effects, good range, and decent mobility, making it a very reliable weapon to have in your arsenal.
Appearance
It appears to be a large revolver made of either bronze or gold, with a compass where the barrel should be. It also has a large red “N” serving as a scope, likely meaning Navigation. After a short period of time, it will change and it’s color will change to a dark blue and light purple. The scope changes from an N to a squid, and it gets a second scope at the tip of the barrel that looks like a steering wheel.
Performance
It has high damage, high mobility, a decent capacity, a good firerate, and a quick reload. It has invisibility during reload and blinding, which last for 3 seconds,
Strategy
Be aggressive while using it, as it’s blinding and high damage will give you an advantage over most players. Try jumping above the enemy and blinding them to disorient them then land a headshot which will likely kill them.
Tips
- Aim for the head to maximize damage.
- Get closer to your enemy to deal higher damage
- Use the “invisibility during reload” attribute to evade your enemy while reloading.
Counters
- Use a high area damage weapon In case you get blinded.
- Keep your distance from it’s users, as shotguns are impractical at farther distances.
- Use a higher-damage weapon to overwhelm it’s users, such as the Rune Buster.
