Strategy Guide[]
- The Havoc Pump Shotgun is a very powerful shotgun in Battle Royale, at the cost of having a low fire rate and small ammo capacity of six rounds. A well-placed shot could remove a target's shield completely or eliminate a target in one shot at close ranges, depending on the rarity.
- As the Havoc Pump Shotgun has a low fire rate, having a fast-firing weapon to switch to is recommended, such as a submachine gun or pistol, as the Havoc Pump Shotgun is quite slow to shoot and is rather unpredictable at medium distances, sometimes dealing very low damage. A good strategy is to fire the Havoc Pump Shotgun to do a lot of damage then switching to your fast firing weapon to eliminate your enemy.
