Combat Shotgun’s Legendary DPS of 127.5 is about even with the encyclopedia median of 132.1 DPS for this category.
- follow-up / auto cadence — 1.7 fire rate at Legendary.
- Against 150 HP it is 2 body shots (0.59s TTK). A 8-round mag can finish 150 HP without a reload.
- Slow 4.50s reload — empty mag is a long punish.
- Auto / follow-up shotgun: hold or mash rather than treating it like a classic pump.
