XM1014

Click fast and keep clicking — the XM's identity is landing three pellet loads before a pump shotgun fires twice.

Anchor wide close-range zones (double doors, site entrances) where multiple enemies funnel in together.

Its 80% armor penetration makes it the shotgun for anti-force rounds, not just naked ecos.

Interrupt the shell-by-shell reload the moment contact starts — two shells in the tube beats none.

Retakes love it: spam the site as you swing and let spread find the defusers' backs.

Past 10 metres, swap targets or fall back — volume doesn't fix pellet falloff.
