Shotgun CQB
Enforcer: Shotgunner Tier 2
Basic (2 pt): You reload shotguns 15% faster.
Ace (4 pt): You reload shotguns 35% faster. You gain a 125% increase steel sight speed when using Shotguns.

Mechanics[]

The reload speed effects of the Basic and Aced versions of the skill stack additively. When Aced, reload speed is increased by 50%, reducing reload times by 33%. Do note that shell-based pump action (such as the Locomotive) or a semi-auto shotgun like M1014, when being reloaded, have 2 reload parts, the first, is when the heister moves their shotgun sideways, and "opens" the shotgun, and the second part is when they load a shell inside the shotgun, increasing bullets in magazine by one.

The Aced version behaves as the Rifleman skill, where the zooming is faster.

Strategy[]

Though steel sights on shotguns are often unneeded unless Far Away is taken, it is worth taking the Aced version solely for the increased reload speed.

Trivia[]

  • The "CQB" in the skill's name is an uncommon acronym for Close quarters combat, more commonly referred to as "CQC".
