The Gatekeeper shotgun’s spread and damage drop-off over distance hinder its effectiveness. Aim for close-range encounters and prioritize headshots to maximize its power. Consider equipping range-extending perks or using attachments to improve its accuracy.

Slow reload times can leave you vulnerable. Always be aware of your surroundings and reload in cover when possible. Swap to a secondary weapon or use building materials as a temporary shield while reloading. Consider carrying additional shotgun ammo to avoid running out at critical moments.

The large crosshair makes precision aiming challenging. Practice your aim by firing at stationery targets in Creative mode or using aim-training maps. Adjust your sensitivity settings to find what works best for you. Consider using a controller with adjustable trigger stops to improve your trigger control.
