R9-0 shotgun in COD Mobile Season 8: An overview

The R9-0 shotgun is an interesting one and unlike any shotgun available in COD Mobile. R9-0 is a two-burst fire shotgun with an automatic bolt. This means players can tap fire two shots at a time. However, they can also spam these two shot fire until the entire magazine runs out.

This unique mechanic also requires a different style of gameplay. The shotgun is primarily equipped for hip-fire but players can try and build it out in the gunsmith to allow it to be accurate while aiming down sights. However, sprint-to-fire delays will make it difficult for players to control the shots.

R9-0 is best for re-spawn modes, and can be effectively used to clear out hills and flags in re-spawn matches. It has a one shot kill capability in close range and with the right build it can be effective in medium ranges similar to the KRM or the BY15 in COD Mobile.
