"Full-auto shotgun. Fast fire rate. Modest damage." ― Description
The USAS-12 is a South Korean fully-automatic shotgun. It can only be acquired through the Mystery Box.
As a fully-automatic shotgun, the USAS-12 is most notable for its fast fire rate. It does high damage up close with each shotgun blast and is capable of extremely high damage output when fired fully-automatically.
The individual shots from the USAS-12 do high amounts of damage, slightly more than that of the Remington 870. With Double Tap Root Beer, each blast is capable of one-shotting zombies up to and including round 19. However, unlike other weapons of its class, the USAS-12 continues to retain much of its viability even after it loses its one-shot potential. The high fire rate and automatic fire of the USAS-12 mean it is more than capable of administering follow up shots if required.
The USAS-12 is also unique in that it is magazine-fed and reloads all of its shells at once. This feature allows the USAS-12 to reload much faster than the other shotguns.
However, its fully-automatic fire means that it can easily consume its ammunition reserves in a wasteful manner. Often, the player may want to treat the USAS-12 as a semi-automatic weapon and only turning to fully-automatic fire as a last resort. Maintaining careful trigger discipline will allow the player to conserve ammunition and extend the usability of the USAS-12.
Overall, the USAS-12 is capable of dealing high amounts of damage up close due to its fast rate of fire and fully-automatic mode of operation. However, its rate of fire and hunger for shells will often leave the player running dry. Because each shotgun blast already dulls out respectable amounts of damage, the player may wish to avoid spraying in full-auto to prevent reckless consumption of shells.
