Automatic Shotgun

The Automatic Shotgun is a weapon which has been introduced in the Road to Glory event as the prize of the 13th of 14 tiers. The Automatic shotgun is colored in an orange black camouflage tiger pattern. It's unlocked at level 50 and has 7 bullets in a clip.

The Automatic Shotgun is a mix of a regular shotgun and the rate of fire of an assault rifle hence the name "Automatic".

Strategy
The Automatic shotgun is similar to the other two shotgun, though it is better to use it in close quarters or in small maps to kill enemies with low to high armor, but at the cost of the lowest accuracy of a shotgun in the game. The crosshairs are bigger than the Shotgun or Double Barrel Shotgun. This makes Automatic Shotgun a little bit ineffective at approaching and harming enemies. Also, it threatens the player against Blunderbuss players, because the crosshairs of Automatic Shotgun is nearly as BIG as Blunderbuss.

When encountering a Blunderbuss player, there are two options to do. If the Blunderbuss user is running toward you back up and fire as soon as the crosshairs turn red. If the Blunderbuss user is not coning toward you, run forward and shoot as soon as the cross hairs turn red. When encountering a Double Barrel Shotgun user, move left to right while running toward them. Do not be afraid of missing, since the automatic shotgun's pellets are wide spread. Another good strategy as demonstrated by iChase is to utilize the Spotter gadget and to shoot someone before you've seen them.
