If an enemy has a shotgun to use against you, try to be as far away as you can but still be able to hurt the user.The powerup Haste (yellow thunderbolt) makes a good combo with the Shotgun so you can hit your enemies faster and make up any shots that you missed.Wearing an enemy down with a Machinegun can make a good use for the Shotgun as a finisher.The weapon at start gives you 10 shells on pickup and with ammo from it's silver and brownish-orange ammo box (Shells) gives it 10 shells each, with the maximum ammo capacity being 200 shells. The weapon has a slow-fire rate after each shot due to the pump, but slightly faster than the Railgun, so it's best not to miss every pellet when you fire. This weapon is the perfect weapon for close range and point-blank range, as only a couple of shots can killed a healthy, unarmored target. The Shotgun or "SG" fires various amouts of pellets in a similar cone-shape spread than the Machinegun, rather being wider on the shell landing than the Machinegun's tight spread. Remember to use the zoom-in (default - middle mouse button) while firing to land bullets on distant targets.The machinegun can also be used to wear down enemies far away with the railgun in Space maps like Q3DM19 (Apocalypse Void) and Q3DM17 (The Longest Yard).It is very useful to use this against enemies with the Battle Suit powerup because it can easily break through the armor and damage them, but remember to do it at medium to far range as they can retaliate.The machinegun being very accurate as being restated with it's tight, cone-like spread can easily kill an enemy you see at spawn fast, as long as you can use the accuracy to its advantage.The Machinegun has a maximum capacity of 200 bullets and you can find yellow and silver ammo boxes (Bullets) to replenish ammo for it as each box gives 50 bullets and players do not drop the Machinegun upon death, like the Gauntlet. The gun at spawn starts with 100 bullets in Free-For-Alls + One on Ones but in Team games it has 50. It is surprisingly a more useful weapon than you'd think, to be honest, as it doesn't have a large wide-spread and rather a small cone-like spread, along with it giving enough continous firepower to become a powerful weapon. The Machinegun is a weapon that you automatically get at spawn. If there is a group all close to each other fighting one another and they haven't noticed you, you can try to sneak in and cut each down to gain frags.If your last resort is the Gauntlet, then be surprising with it, such as picking off single enemies focused on gathering powerups and items. With the short knockback the Gauntlet gives, you can push enemies back and take any powerups or items they were going for such as the Megahealth or Quad Damage.With Quad Damage you can end enemy players with 100 health in just one slice.If you have a Shotgun you will less likely need the Gauntlet.Don't run up to a random enemy with the Gauntlet if they're firing at you, because you will most likely either succeed but have too little health to continue or die without even harming your enemy.
