Echo 12 Gameplay tips

  • Stay inside buildings or narrow corridors to maximize shotgun superiority.
  • Aim at the upper torso to increase your chances of one-shot kills.
  • Hip-fire during rush encounters and use ADS only for slightly longer shots.
  • Use mobility perks to move faster and close distance quickly.
  • Reload frequently because the Echo 12 burns through shells rapidly.
