Hunter Shotgun

The Hunter Shotgun is a shotgun that was added in the Easter Holiday Update (2015). The Hunter Shotgun is an exclusive event weapon won by finishing tier 15 in the Easter Egg Hunt 2 Event. It could also be bought for during Trial 1 of Summer Camp 2, or could be bought in the Summer Camp Gun Collection.

Strategy
This gun is a shotgun like no other! It doesn't need to pump so you can get shots faster than other shotguns, it has the highest Range out of all shotguns The Damage is great, capable of 1 shot killing enemies in very close range like the normal Shotgun and 2-3 shot killing at medium range like the Revolver. It also has decent Accuracy, however if your opponent is proficient at dodging, you'll have a hard time hitting him. Another disadvantage of this gun is the small magazine size, and because the pumping is transferred over to the reload, it is slow.
