Strategy Guide
- The Dub should be used at extremely close range, and it is forgiving enough that you can miss your first shot for a follow up one. However, this is more difficult with the weapons knockback ability.
- You can fully knock a player with either rarity if you land both shots accurately.
- The Dub can be used for self mobility, such as reaching high ground, or it can be used for offensive mobility, such as knocking a player off a structure, or into the storm.
- If you are battling on a high place and you could fall to your death, you can crouch so the Shotgun doesn’t knock you back.
- The shotgun can be swapped out quickly with another shotgun (and receive no cooldown in between) to do even higher amounts of damage.
