![]() Stay close to teammates if you are using the Combat Shotgun.This also applies to the Tactical Shotgun. Clicking repeatedly will make the weapon fire faster than holding down the trigger, but be aware that it will drain ammo faster.A good tactic would be to have a "designated Cr0wner" who would carry a Combat Shotgun and kill/Cr0wn any Witch that is in the way of the Survivors. The ease of cr0wning Witches with the Combat Shotgun can lead to multiple cr0wnings in a single game. A Witch that has been startled can also be dispatched quickly if a Combat Shotgunner simply backs up to maintain distance and goes full auto into her central body mass.This brutal capability can be handy on Versus as it obviates the need for the fine technique required for cr0wning her.All a player has to do is to get up close (preferably behind) and shoot her a few times, almost certainly killing the Witch and possibly cr0wning her. This weapon makes dispatching Witches incredibly easy (except on Realism Mode).Save your upgrade for the assault rifles, where there is a significant increase in accuracy (especially the AK-47). This applies to the other shotguns as well.At least, teammates can avoid standing between a user and a target in Expert mode. Its practical benefits are limited to showing teammates where a player is aiming and to confer a psychological advantage in the sense of being able to pick out a target with more confidence. Using a Laser Sight on the Combat Shotgun does nothing to enhance its technical accuracy aside from reducing the increased pellet spread while moving.This weapon fires heavy buckshot that can easily penetrate thin walls and barriers at close range, although its stopping power is degraded by doing so.A Horde trapped in such killing zones can be obliterated by a few quick shots. Narrow hallways and choke points are ideal conditions for this weapon.If caught in a fight while the shotgun is empty during a Horde attack, shove zombies back while reloading: you'll be able to fire off a shot or two every second or so, allowing you to keep the Infected at bay. ![]() Apart from high-pressure emergencies requiring full auto, a good idea is thus to reload after every couple of shots. ![]() Acquire the habit of reloading often, as the weapon becomes significantly less effective if the magazine is depleted.Switching to a melee weapon or Pistol is therefore almost essential if a Horde is attacking a team member. Even a glancing blow can be severely damaging. Great care is needed on Expert mode because two direct shots will incapacitate a teammate even if they have full health.However, this tactic is relatively ineffective against other threats due to low damage of individual pellets and high damage drop off over distance of the shotgun. There will always have 1 pellet landing in the middle of the crosshair when shooting while crouched, this can be used to snipe a distant infected's head due to the fact they die instantly from headshots.While the Combat Shotgun has a tighter spread and is thus slightly more accurate than the Tactical Shotgun, it is not a ranged weapon nevertheless, it is marginally better at handling mid-range threats than the other auto shotgun.Ideally, Incendiary/ Explosive ammo should be used with this weapon when up against a Tank. The Combat Shotgun is very effective at close range against major threats, such as Tanks, Witches, etc.
