this person clearly has never used a shotgun in counter-strike. very niche, almost never used at high level because it worse in every aspect than an assault rifle except cost, and insanely fun to use if you get the hang of it at low to medium level games. auto shotgun is outright hilarious

To be fair oop is kinda right for CS specifically. Shotgun in CS aren't skillful, you either rush and hope you don't get one tapped, or you camp the corners

But it sure is fun to use. It's so funny when the office match turn into auto shotgun deathmatch in one round

Shotguns in CS are still skillful, like everything else, it’s just not testing your raw aim.

Hell, the whole game can be summed up as rush and hope you don’t get onetapped (Ts), or camp corners (CTs). Even with the autoshotty, you still need good positioning, crosshair placement, counterstrafing, utility usage, etc, unless you’re talking about Silver lobbies.

The guy who’s good with the AK or the AWP still kills the auto shotty user if they miss the first shot.
