First off, we will pick out the new JAK Maglift Kit, which is available as an aftermarket part. Not only is this kit highly powerful, but the recent update has increased its rate of fire by 40% (from 357 to 500 rpm), making it unstoppable in any small-sized map.

For the barrel, we went with the Imperator Long Barrel, which improves the bullet velocity and range of the shotgun.

The FTAC Grimline Laser is chosen to greatly enhance the accuracy and recoil control, including the hip recoil control and the hipfire and tac stance spread of the weapon.

The No Stock mod was picked because although it affects recoil control a bit, it makes the weapon much easier to handle.

In terms of the Rear Grip, it’s picked out as it increases the Sprint to fire speed alongside the gun kick and recoil control.

To complete the class setup, here’s the recommended equipment:

  • Tactical: Stun Grenade/ Flash Grenade
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Munitions Box
  • Vest: Infantry Vest
  • Gloves: Commando Gloves
  • Boots: Lightweight Boots
  • Gear: Threat Identification System/EOD Padding
