Sledgehammer Games‘ Call of Duty Vanguard is finally here and we can’t wait to dive into multiplayer – the only issue we have is with what weapon we’re picking. There are tonnes of new guns to choose from and they’re not all good. If you’re looking for a Shotgun, you could do worse than the Gracey Auto Shotgun. Here’s what you need to know about the Gracey Auto Shotgun and the best loadout on offer.

Vanguard’s Gracey Auto Shotgun – Shotgun

The Gracey Auto Shotgun might look new, but you’ll find out pretty quickly how familiar it feels when you’re running around with one. It’s a semi-automatic Shotgun that fires as fast as you can pull the trigger – more or less – and does a decent bit of damage at close range.

The only real problem with this Shotgun is the damage range. The Gracey Auto Shotgun’s damage range is far from the best in its weapon class – so, you’re going to always need to be up close and personal with it equipped. It’s also going to take a while to reload – it’s a little like the Streetsweeper in that respect. It’s not a bad Shotgun with the right attachments, but it could be better.
