Rainbow Six Siege: 8 Best Shotguns, Ranked
In Rainbow Six: Siege, players can’t go wrong with any of these weapons.
One of the most famous tactical FPS games in recent years is Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. Siege is one of the best games to use a shotgun in because it has a lot of close-quarters fighting and breaking into rooms.Even though these close-range guns often have a shorter range and a slower rate of fire than other weapons, none of them do more damage per shot.
With a wide variety of offensive and defensive weapons for each of the different operators, there is sure to be a shotgun that fits any play style, whether you want to kill targets or break into places.
SuperNova
The operators Hibana, Echo, and Amaru can use the Benelli SuperNova, which is a shotgun with a pump action. Even though it has a slow pump rate compared to other shotguns, the SuperNova has a lot of power. Each pellet does about 48 damage, and it has a good range before it starts to lose power.
One of the best things about this shotgun compared to most other weapons in Rainbow Six: Siege is that it can be silenced without losing damage or range. It is also one of the most versatile firearms because it can be used by many different types of people.
Super 90
The Super 90 is a small shotgun that the Canadian defence operator Frost can use. It is also known as the Benelli M3. The Super 90 is known as a “kill machine” because it can be used as both a pump-action and a semi-automatic shotgun. Its popular and skilled operator also makes it a great choice for younger players who want to try out shotgun play.
The weapon was made in Italy and has a base damage of 35. This means that even a fully armored enemy operator shouldn’t take more than a couple of shots to kill. Melusi, a South African user, has recently been able to use the shotgun as well.
SIX12
The SIX12 is a shotgun that the shooters Ying, Lesion, and Nokk can use. Even though the SIX12 and SIX12 SD have a slow rate of fire for a semi-automatic shotgun, each shot is a powerful blast of eight pellets. If you hit an opponent neatly from close to mid range, you’re likely to kill them.
This shotgun also has the fastest reload time of any known shotgun. The only problems with it are that it has a strong recoil and fires slowly. The SD model also has a suppressor built in, but this is only available for the Nokk.
SASG-12
The SASG-12 is a 12-gauge shotgun made in Russia that can be used for Kapkan, Finka, and Fenrir. This strong gun has a good mix of a high rate of fire, a large magazine, and the ability to rip both enemy targets and the environment around them to pieces at any time.
The SASG-12 does 50 damage, which is one of the most of any weapon. Its magazine-fed system also makes it easy to reload quickly. The only bad thing about the SASG-12 is that it has a lot of recoil and its damage drops off very quickly once an enemy moves out of close range.
SPAS-15
The SPAS-15 is the model that comes after the famous SPAS-12. It can be used by Caveira and Thunderbird. Even though it does less damage at its base, this semi-automatic shotgun fires at a very fast rate and is useful at much longer ranges than many of its competitors.
The only problem with the SPAS-15 is that each magazine can only hold 6 shots. Which can run out quickly because the gun fires so fast. Still, this is a great weapon, especially for the fast-moving Caveira, because it shoots quickly and is easy to reload.
M590A1
The operators Sledge, Thatcher, Smoke, Mute, and Warden can use the M590A1 pump-action shotgun. This weapon is known as a “jack-of-all-trades” because it can blast through walls and doors just as well as it can kill enemies up close.
As long as the player has a good sidearm equipped, this weapon can be a powerful tool for breaking through walls without sacrificing too much damage at middle range. The only bad thing about the M590A1 is that it doesn’t have a lot of extra ammunition. So players need to be careful not to use up their ammunition too fast.
Skeleton Key
The Skeleton Key is a unique under-barrel weapon that only user Buck can use as a gadget. This 12-Gauge shotgun is just as good as any other gun in Rainbow Six: Siege, and it can be used to kill enemies up close or break down walls and doors to make new ways in.
This weapon is unique because it doesn’t take up a whole main weapon slot and can be switched back and forth with Buck’s primary assault rifle. The Skeleton Key isn’t as good as other shotguns, though. Because it takes a long time to reload and it can’t hold as many bullets.
FO-12
The FO-12 is a semi-automatic shotgun that feeds from a magazine. It was given to the operator Ela as part of the Operation Orchid Expansion. This shotgun is widely thought to be the best in Flappy Bird. It has a large magazine, fires quickly, and does a lot of damage with each shot.
This shotgun has a lot of useful parts and a good range before the damage starts to go down. The only problem is that it has a lot of recoil, which can be scary for players who aren’t used to it.
