Question
Typically my loadout for the heavy is:
- Minigun
- Sandvich
- Gloves of Running Urgently
However, some of the players I play with (a 32-player server, but I have a reasonably close knit group of people I play Highlander with) have been moaning rather loudly about the amount of time I spend eating my sandvich.
Based on their advice (or to shut them up) I started playing with the shotgun, but I find that I never seem to use it - the minigun can usually shoot down most people attacking me.
What strategies should I be using to ensure that I'm using the shotguns potential?
Answer
You need a shotgun when you can't use you primary weapon because it's either slow or slows you down. This can happen in several situations:
- If you suddenly engage in a close-range fight. If you start spinning your gun, it's possible you'll be dead very soon.
- If you need to get somewhere fast and you still need to shoot on the way.
- To use a crit from K.G.B.
- If your main gun is out of ammo. That also happens.
The sandvich is a great thing, but it won't help you when you are out of ammo or if you need to fight in tight spots. I usually run with the sandvich, but I can't deny that shotgun is very helpful in some cases.
