Shotguns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 gives a really unique playstyle for players. Using a shotgun feels a lot more powerful than using an SMG or assault rifle. They’re one of the most underrated weapons because they lack range and fire rate. However, those who prefer close-quarters combat and aggressive engagements usually excel using shotguns. While their range is limited, they excel at delivering devastating, often one-shot kills in close range. The high damage output makes them ideal for close-range skirmishes, especially in tight corridors, flanking maneuvers, or surprise encounters.
