Quake Champions Game Guide

Shotgun

The starting Shotgun only has one barrel, compared to the double-barreled version you will find in the arena. Shotguns are typically close range, and this one is no exception. Do not run out into open areas while looking for something better, and take advantage of its single shot nature by popping out around corners.
