#4 S686

S686

S686 can fire off two 12-gauge bullets very quickly and is an absolute beast in close-range battles. All you have to do is be accurate with your shots because the gun has a long reload time and only a two-bullet magazine. This makes it quite tough to use. The gun has a base damage of 2.

#5 Sawed-off

Sawed Off

Sawed-off can be termed a mini S686. It is a dual-barrel shotgun with higher spread than S686 due to the shorter barrel. S686 is an exclusive shotgun that fits into the handgun slot. The range of this gun is far less than the others on this list, however.

It is also important to note that these shotguns carry enormous potential and can be best utilized when they fit a particular player's style of play. All the shotguns are quite deadly if used efficiently. The ranking of the guns in PUBG Mobile also depends on players' preference.
