Best Shotguns Criteria

Decent Damage Fall-off

Shotguns that are capable of dishing out acceptable damage at mid-range take the cake here. Although they are close-combat weapons, Shotguns that can take on enemies that are a bit further ranks higher in the list.

Reload Speed Or Ammo Capacity

Top Shotguns allow the user to rectify mistakes with additional shells or faster reload times. Shotguns that have slow reloads and low ammo capacities rank lower in the list.

Ammo Variety

Some Shotguns sport different ammo types for different situations. Having several types of ammo available is an advantage as there is no need to frequently change weapons to suit a map.

Accessibility

How soon these Shotguns can be acquired is also considered in the ranking. If a weapon takes forever to grind out, then it may affect its ranking since players might be better off grinding attachments for other weapons instead.
