Reviewing shotguns in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, including the 500 Tactical, XM-26 LSS, SPAS 12, 87MCS, and M3.

Shotguns:

  • 500 Tactical: This is considered the best shotgun. While its specific stats are unknown as it has not been unlocked, it performed well in the campaign and is rumored to be a good choice for multiplayer, provided it does not lead to being removed from a match.
  • XM-26 LSS: This is a poor shotgun with only 5 bullets. It is inferior to other shotguns in every aspect. Despite a seemingly fast fire rate, it is not a great weapon, and others agree it is bad.
  • SPAS 12: This shotgun fires slightly faster than the 87MCS and M3.
  • 87MCS: This shotgun is similar to the SPAS 12, making the choice between them largely a matter of personal preference for appearance.
  • M3: This shotgun is nearly identical to the 87MCS and SPAS 12, but it is slightly weaker.
Tips
  • The 500 Tactical is highly recommended if you can unlock it.
  • Avoid the XM-26 LSS due to its low bullet count and overall poor performance.
  • The SPAS 12, 87MCS, and M3 are very similar; choose based on aesthetics if you must use one of them.
