Tips and Tricks

 * The Semi-auto Shotgun is great for playing on Expert Mode because of its wide spread and above-average magazine capacity.
 * Up close, the Semi-Auto shotgun is capable of killing most players and animals in a single shot to the head or torso. However, like all shotguns, the Semi-auto drastically loses power when firing at distant targets.
 * The Semi-auto shotgun is one of the best choices for going lone wolf in Gang Hideouts.
 * The Semi-auto shotgun is also arguably the best mid-range weapon, because when shooting a person at mid range they will stagger, giving the player the opportunity to come up close for the kill.
 * This gun is especially good in Advanced Cooperative Missions, as you do not have to aim so much, and you can fire multiple rounds in rapid fire.
 * Like almost every other weapon in the game, combining Dead Eye with this shotgun drastically increases its range. It should be noted that the shells still spread, meaning aiming for the head in Dead Eye of a target very far away will not guarantee an instant kill.

Trivia
