TACTICS:
Operators using the USAS-12 will find its high ballistic effect fired at a respectable speed will can easily and rapidly achieve  clearance of groups of infected targets. However, its short range and small magazine size creates a large possibility that the wielder will be overwhelmed if they are alone. The USAS-12 should be used when well-covered by nearby allied support.
Recommended gear:
- Bandoliers/Carrier Harnesses decrease the amount the time the wielder is vulnerable after depleting the magazine.
- Glasses improve the wielder's ability to hit targets from further away, with some variants improving accuracy.
- Extended Mags increase the wielder's combat endurance with each magazine.
