So, did Sledgehammer decide that this shotgun was so useful that they would unlock gold for everyone LOL. I didn’t even do half of the challenges, but I magically unlocked the golden camouflage. And no, I didn’t do camo glitch, it just unlocked in the middle of the game? @SHGames #Avant-garde #Call of Duty pic.twitter.com/0Lm0F6N3io

If you ruin the shotguns trust me you are going to ruin your game, it’s the operational stuff that makes the game more fun, so if the snipers go, do the snipers go too, du Unless those of us who don’t shoot had an equalizer, thanks to yououtubers😡

While Sledgehammer did not provide the exact changes for the midrange OP weapons, some players have said they agree with the company’s decision. However, some players have claimed that if the developer “ruins” these weapons, their experience will be affected as well.
On the flip side, one of the reviewers said that the nerfs of the shotguns are quite reasonable as they are quite easy to use compared to snipers, which are also considered single shot weapons.
Alternatives to shotguns
Currently, the actual launch date of the shotgun nerf adjustments is yet to be confirmed. But, once they are implemented, there is no doubt that many players will be affected.
If you are one of the gamers who use shotguns as one of their weapons, then you had better practice using SMGs. Submachine guns are usually associated with snipers, as these long-range weapons cannot fire continuously.
Here are some of the best SMGs you can count on:
- PPSH-41
- Type 100
- Owen pistol
- Sten
- M1928
In other news, the content of the Quran “Call of Duty: Vanguard” has been criticized by various players. On the other hand, “Call of Duty: Warzone” players have said that cheaters are taking advantage of their time left before the arrival of RICOCHET anti-cheat software.
