Specifics

The XM2014 is a combat shotgun used by both the KPA and the US Marine Corps. It is unparalleled in close quaters combat and exels in urban warfare. It can hold up to 8 shells at a time in its tubular internal magazine, in addition to another 40 shells. It can be modified to have less spread and more accuracy at the cost of power, or can be left in the default mode to fire in a wider but less accurate cone. The shotgun accepts laser sights, flashlights, reflex sights, and both types of scopes including the sniper scope (although this is not recomended for obvious reasons). It is most effective with the default ironsights or the reflex sight, although it does work surprisingly well with the assault scope if its fired in a narrower spread.

Advantages

The shotgun excels in close quarters combat, and when modifed for less spread it becomes a formidable mid-ranged weapon as well, able to kill a normal KPA soldier with a single shot. It is also moderately effective against Nanosoldiers at close range.

Disadvantages

The player can only carry a small amount of ammunition for the shotgun, so it is best used as a secondary weapon. Another downside is that the user has to manually adjust the spread of the pellets for maximum effect. It is also has limited effectiveness in multiplayer due to the fact that most opponents will kill the user before they get close enough to use the weapon.

Trivia

• The shotgun appears to be based on the Benelli M4/M1014 Super 90, although the M1014 is semiautomatic while the XM2014 is pump-action.
