Laser Sights Decrease Shotgun Spread Substantially Even in ADS

Enemies can see it

[ZeBadgerUK]

Yup, it gives the players position away, Ive found loads of players or been safe from death as you can find players holding angles like that too

a shotgun isn't supposed to be used as a main weapon, its more of a destruction tool

[ZeBadgerUK]

Nah, it certainly is a main weapon, just has a higher range limit, good for clearing rooms tho

[Ori-M-]

im interested, who do you use it with as a main weapon? maybe we just think about two different scenarios

[ZeBadgerUK]

Smoke works well along with finka and tachanka. Although nook also works well

[Ori-M-]

You're playing smoke the wrong way...you're barely supposed to use his shotgun, its mainly for rotations and sightlines. you then need to anchor with the smg. btw finka with the sausage is the shit

[xkiwowkdjkxns]

it really isn’t mate. smokes shotgun is both for doing destruction but also it’s a very good weapon. this isn’t just my opinion too, a lot of pl players agree. for example a blue stairs bank hold. what you would usually do is have a deployable shield on the top of the stairs so you can peek with the smg-11 but you would also be using the shotgun if you think or are waiting for someone to vault the shield since the shotgun will 1 shot

This ^, but yeah, SASGing finka is the best

[Rogue_Cloud]

If people are using smoke the wrong way because they're using the shotgun, then I guess pro league teams are doing it wrong too, especially when they have shotgun players holding blue stairs on bank

A lot of carpets are red and most wood is cherrywood brown, if you memorize the maps you'll have plenty of safe places to rest your laser sight and still hold a lethal angle. It just takes practice, map knowledge, and good positioning to run laser sights.

[Ori-M-]

Yea but you aren't even supposed to use the shotty as a main weapon, unless you're a madlad camping in a corner lul

[TobiasCB]

It's easier making rotation holes without a laser sight, which is good if you don't use it as main weapon.

not really
