People have been busting me from long distances as of recently and Im kinda interested in leveling one up. I literally only play FFA (im a brute i dont use assualt) and use a pp90m1 or play drop zone defending the spot instead of camping.
Usas=striker>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>all the others.
Don't unless you are having zero lag and you are playing as a guest.
Pretty sure you should try the USAS-12. The Striker is semi-auto, the USAS-12 is fully-auto. Plus use it without aiming down the sight, it's really strong from the hip...
Is the USAS really full auto? Its fire rate is so slow compared to a Striker or an AA-12 (which I know is full auto) that I never thought to just hold down the trigger. I don't know why I'd want to either because that thing is a monster. Typically 1 shot kills and tons of range.
It is. Strangely, the usas and xm25 are both full auto and people hardly know it because they have pretty slow rates of fire.
pp90m1 is the best shotgun. If you really want to use a shottie go usas or striker, but striker is really crap unless you can pulse the triggers at the fire rate cap. If you can't consistently fire at the fire rate for a striker, go USAS.
Either the USAS-12 or the Striker to me are the best shotguns.
Who aren't they the best shotguns to?
USAS just hold the trigger mostly a 1 hit kill.
I would go for the USAS for its one hit kills and rapid follow up shots if you miss . If you want more of a challenge/fun I would go with the Spaz 12 . If you want to go into a rage melt down level up the Model 1887 lol it is sooo frustratingly inconsistent . Once you get Damage it gets a bit better and can be fun .
Good when your in a FFA lobby and everyone starts using shotties because your pwning or people keep picking up your gold 1887 but can be annoying getting shot with your on gun!
The best shotguns to use are the Type 95, Barrett 50 cal, and PP90M1.
(Use Striker or Usas-12, others are horrible because IW won't bother buffing them)![]()
For me, it depends on the map. Smaller, tighter maps (think Seatown), I go with either the USAS or AA-12, but for more open maps, like Oasis I go with my favorite - the KSG. It has the highest damage rate of the shotguns and a 12 round magazine. But remember, you have to allow for the cycle time of the pump action.

Striker and usas are good to start because they have good range but a high rof which means you don't have to limit your engagements as much and if you don't get a osk you might get to fire off more.
The aa-12 is lethal within its range, which is only a few feet. Give it range and extended mags an you have a mowing machine. I really only use it as an overkill pro secondary though.
The spas is a great gun. You can get some nice range shots, and it has good consistency. Ksg is very similar to the spas.
Model isn't very good but it is a lot of fun. You will get garbage close range hit markers, but the bad pellet spread combined with high damage can lead to some nice
Long range kills.
If you mod like most of the dudes who use the Strikers online, go for the Striker. Ruins my game every time.
Please explain how people with the striker "mod"?
Well, if they have a mod that can switch fire modes(it won't work if you set it to the fastest mode), they can continuously shoot the Striker at it's highest fire rate just by holding the trigger. Honestly, I think it shoots faster than an AA12. You don't need a mod to do it though.
I don't know what you're talking about, the striker has a fire rate cap that isn't hard to hit. Unless people are physically hacking the game and messing with gun stats, I don't think there's any truth to that claim.
Well, I did say right in my post, "You don't need a mod to do it though."
Striker.
Easy mode.
But if you want to play fair, use a USAS. Second best behind the Striker. Pump actions CAN be good, but they are VERY inconsistent. AA12 just sucks IMO.
Never really used the striker and don't see people using it any more since it was nerfed . Picked one up the odd time and it's not very good :)
The USAS with range is my personal favorite even without range it is pretty solid. The Striker is great if you want to spam the trigger on people but I enjoy the USAS so much more, because of the longer ohk range, built in sprint boost and small crosshair area so you dont ever really need extreme conditioning or steady aim. I use it with SOH and Dead Silence very very effective on seatown.
use the striker if you've never used a shotgun before. once you get decent....try the model ![]()
Type 95
Ok so before I made this topic I used the AA12 on and off for a few rounds. The USAS 12 is a world of a difference. I like it. Cant wait to get range or damage on it.
i would suggest the usas 12 due to the patch has more buckshots n with damage or range plus extended mags id say youll be busting noobs in no time
The USAS is the best all rounder with Damage and Xmags on it,
or you can make yourself look like a total n00b and go with the Striker...
