Shotguns in BGMI have a short range, and you must position yourself well when utilizing them. You can use TPP to let the enemy come near you or switch to a shotgun when the rival is in firing range.

After that, wait for the perfect moment to shoot and keep moving to dodge the enemy's bullets. Also, keep an eye on the number of rounds left in your magazine, and shotguns hold less ammunition per round than other guns.


4) Use better sensitivity settings

Krafton has added a bunch of different shotguns in BGMI. You can use your favorite shotgun and get to the desired number of kills.

The most used shotguns in BGMI are DBS and S12K. DBS offers up to 14 bullets per round which is very handy in 1v3 and 1v4 situations, and S12K offers continuous firing capacity. Some shotguns also propose attachments that help reduce recoil, increase ammunition capacity, and improve the bullet spread.


2) Aim for more headshots

Headshots deal the most amount of damage to an enemy in BGMI. Shotguns have more bullet spread than other guns and deal more damage.

Hence, it becomes necessary for players to aim for the opponent's head to eliminate him with fewer bullets. You may also wait for your opponent to make a mistake before shooting him while he is in a vulnerable position.


1) Improve our crosshair placement

Crosshair placement is one of the best tips for you to fetch the most out of shotguns in BGMI. With a good crosshair placement, you can easily connect more shots with equipped weapons, eliminate opponents, and increase your F/D ratio.

Crosshair is the plus(+) sign available in the center of the screen. You can work on your crosshair placement by performing different drills in the training grounds and playing custom TDM rooms with your pro teammates. It will help you to get better at keeping the enemy in the crosshair and take him down instantly.
