XM1014
The XM1014 is a semi-automatic shotgun available to both teams in Counter-Strike 2. It is the only fully automatic shotgun in the game, capable of rapid follow-up shots that other shotguns cannot match.
Overview
At $2,000, the XM1014 is the most expensive shotgun. Its semi-automatic action allows much faster follow-up shots compared to pump-action shotguns like the Nova. The XM1014 also has the best armor penetration of any shotgun at 80%, making it the most effective shotgun against armored opponents at close range.
