Know Your Loadout: XM1014
The XM1014 is the only automatic shotgun in Counter-Strike 2, and it’s all about close-range dominance. It can clear rooms, hold tight angles, and shut down rushes with brutal stopping power. It’s expensive for a shotgun, but if you’re playing close quarters, few weapons delete enemies faster.
Why Use the XM1014?
- Semi-auto fire rate (~171 RPM)
- Massive close-range damage
- Wide pellet spread
- $2000 cost
- $900 kill reward
Damage Overview:
| Target Area | Damage (Unarmored) | Damage (Armored) |
|---|---|---|
| Head (per pellet) | 27 | 6 |
| Chest/Arms | 10 | 2 |
| Stomach | 12 | 3 |
| Legs | 8 | 8 |
(12 pellets per shot up close, a single hit can deal over 300 total damage.)
The XM1014 thrives in close-range holds, like Inferno apartments, Nuke vents, or Overpass bathrooms. The ability to spam shots makes it deadly when defending tight sites, but it loses all impact at range. You’ll mostly see it in casual or lower-rank matches, since higher-level players prefer cheaper, more versatile options (unless you're s1mple) Still, in the right hands and the right spot it can feel downright unfair.
