How to equip a shotgun
Some Operators won’t have their shotgun equipped by default. To ensure that you have a shotgun when you pick one of the above Operators, you should go into the Operator menu and customize their loadouts before playing. While you can do this during the pick phase of a round, there’s a time limit to compete with that most players prefer to avoid.

The shotgun is easily one of the most powerful weapons in Rainbow Six Siege, but it’s hard to call it the best when you must take into account the user. With enough practice at the Shooting Range, analyzing the data of the spread of shots are various distances, then you could make this the most powerful weapon in your hands. However, you really do need to squeeze in that training if you want to be the best Operator with your play style.
