The Aristocrat's Shotgun (ASG) is a weapon that was introduced in the Halloween Haunt Update, within the Headless Baron Kit
Strategy
Pivoting the Old Meta into greater heights, this Shotgun was very similar to the Noisy Cricket, becoming very well known due to its great damage, range, accuracy, reload speed, and agility - counteracting with its "single" gauge as its main weakness. In spite of that, it now sees newer threats; unable to adequately deal with maxed Anti Equipment.
Despite its classification, this Pellet Weapon is surprisingly good when Camping, enabling its user to take out unwanted ranged opponents, but if they're specked into a defense build, then swap over to a Run And Gun, where its damage is amplified greatly; additionally, a Circle around and Ambushes will help tremendously when taking on even bigger New Meta threats. Getting caught early on by Water Weapons, Launchers, and Heavy Weapons can make this gun feel peasantry.

Trivia
- When entering Missions this weapon uses the pump-action gesture, even though its break-action.
- It is most likely based on a Chiappa Triple Threat Shotgun or a Mammut Triple Barrel Shotgun. Unlike the Aristocrat, real life Triple Barrel Shotguns don't fire shells from all three barrels simultaneously.
- Only days after its release, many players dubbed this weapon the 'Aristocrap' as it requires little understanding to use.
- During the Winter Camp 2 Update its reload animation was altered, rather than dropping the barrel 90°, the user drops it 45° and shoves the ammo in.
- In the St. Patrick's Day 2 Update this animation was undone and its older variation was brought back, however the reload speed is reduced by 10% so as to allow the gauges to be heard when reloading.
