COD Mobile shotgun tier list

Here’s all you need to know about shotguns in Season 1 (2024).

S-Tier

• R9-0: A favourite among pros and a user-friendly rapid-fire double-barrel shotgun that excels in quick eliminations while maintaining mobility. Its Smoothbore attachment adds versatility. It’s still the best shotgun in the game and is almost peerless.

A-Tier

• KRM-262: The R9-0's only real rival, the KRM-262 offers one-shot kill potential up close and impressive medium-to-long-range performance with a tight pellet spread, making it an excellent second choice.

B-Tier

• BY15: Distinguished by its exceptional range within the shotgun class, the BY15 offers versatility but lags in mobility, accuracy, and control.
• HS0405: Slightly inferior to the BY15, the HS0405 trades range for better mobility but falls short in fire rate, accuracy, and damage.
• Echo: A semi-automatic shotgun with a quick fire rate, suitable for those who may struggle with aiming. However, it lacks the high damage found in other shotguns, so it only barely makes it into B-tier

C-Tier:

• Striker: In the automatic shotgun category, the Striker, although arguably better than its peers, lacks the damage to be a viable choice in the current Season 1 meta.
• JAK-12: Fully automatic and forgiving for less accurate players, the JAK-12 sacrifices damage output compared to its counterparts, making it less viable.

D-tier

• HS2126: In need of significant rework to become viable, a burst-fire shotgun with the highest fire rate but lower damage and range than other shotguns.
