Shotguns in all games have always been, are, and will be highly effective only at short distances. This model stands out primarily due to its very good rate of fire. This allows you to win almost any close-range duel. It’s also worth noting its excellent penetration. You’ll always be able to shoot through cover and deal significant damage to your opponents.

How to Play with the SM1014?

Since shotguns are most effective at short distances, I recommend always trying to play on the frontlines. Sometimes, with a single shot, you can damage multiple enemies. If you need to hit a specific spot, it’s better to stop and aim, as it will increase your chances of hitting.
On long distances, don’t even bother shooting because your rounds won’t reach the enemies. It’s best to switch to your secondary slot and use a pistol.
Although the shotgun has a high rate of fire, the magazine reloads very slowly. It’s better not to engage in combat alone but go with teammates, and during reloads, find a good hiding spot.

How to Counter the SM1014?

Never try to outgun an opponent up close. It will almost always end badly for you. Don’t do it. It’s better to keep your distance and eliminate the enemy. With any rifle, pistol, or automatic weapon, you’ll have an advantage over the shotgun at medium and long distances. Don’t forget about this!
