Using the Jackhammer
Ok I know some of this may be pretty obvious to those loyal engees out there, but if uve recently unlocked the jackhammer (one of the best unlocks there is) hopefully some of this may help:
- In close range you can HOLD DOWN the trigger, by keeping ur finger on the left mouse button; you cannot do this on all the other shotties, including the MEC auto shotgun. This unleashes all 7 shots in about 2 seconds flat and even though theres big recoil, any1 close to you will be wiped out. This ability is especially useful when theres a bunch of 2-3 enemy all together prone, because the targets so big, you cannot miss
- RELOAD even when you may only have fired off one shot; theres only 7 in the mag, all of which you will need to use the gun effectively. As the reload time is quite long, make sure uve jumped into a concealed place, so that you dont get caught half-way through reloading.
- Dont be afraid of enganging enemies at MID range; all shotguns tend to be underestimated in their effectiveness at range. Even if you only get 3-4 hits out of the 7, you will still have caused decent damage, allowing for you to finish off with the pistol.
Dont attempt to reload the JH AGAIN, before finishing him off because it will take too long; the key is to be quick with the pistol, before he has time to retaliate properly unload half the mag into him.
- DRAW the opponent towards you. If an enemy sees you quite far away; then jump into a nearby building/ behind a wall / into a ditch. He will most likely come to seek you out, but if you make sure that you engage him within range , then he shouldnt have a chance. The shotgun is essentially a defensive weapon, which is why its best to wait/camp for the enemy rather than go and search for them.
REMEMBER the key to the jackhammer is rate of fire; DONT attempt to use the shells cautiously or conservatively; just unleash the whole mag into the vicinity of the enemy at close range and you cant lose, he wont know what hit him.
