M4 Shotgun

The M4 Shotgun in Rust is a high-powered, semi-automatic, military-grade firearm renowned for its effectiveness in close-range combat. With its ability to rapidly fire multiple shotgun shells, players can rely on the M4 Shotgun for superior firepower during intense firefights. It is especially valued for its fast shooting rate, making it a formidable weapon against multiple opponents.

As a weapon of choice in Rust, the M4 Shotgun offers significant damage at close quarters, thanks to its spread shot pattern which increases hit probability against moving targets or in situations with limited visibility. Its semi-automatic nature means it can put down a lot of damage in a short time span, allowing players to clear out buildings or breaches efficiently.

Players can find the M4 Shotgun in supply drops, elite tier crates, or by taking down heavily-armed scientists who sometimes carry this powerful weapon. Once acquired, it's essential to stock up on 12 gauge buckshot or slug shells to ensure you have enough ammunition for unexpected encounters.

To maximize the M4 Shotgun's potential, players should consider close-range tactics and aim for the upper body or head to capitalize on the weapon’s spread and power. Moreover, it's wise to pair the M4 with longer-ranged weapons for versatility, as its effectiveness drastically decreases over distance. Nevertheless, within its ideal range, the M4 Shotgun is an absolute game-changer in the unforgiving landscape of Rust.
