Shotgun and revolver only strat

Okay, so we're diving deep into one of R6 Siege's eternal debates: revolver vs. shotgun! As someone who's spent countless hours navigating maps like Clubhouse and Oregon, I’ve tried pretty much every loadout. Let me tell you, there are times when sticking to just a revolver or a shotgun can be an incredibly powerful (and fun!) 'only' strategy, especially if you're trying to shake things up or push your limits. Let's talk about the Revolver first. For operators like Lion or Twitch, their sidearm options are surprisingly potent. The revolver, with its high damage per shot, can be a game-changer in those crucial 1v1 situations or when you're running low on primary ammo after a long firefight. I’ve had so many clutch moments on 'MATCH POINT' where a well-placed revolver shot saved the round. It demands precision, but the reward is immense. It's fantastic for holding tighter angles, or when you're in a '3 VS 3' or '4 VS4' scenario and need to quickly dispatch an enemy without exposing yourself too much. Think about quick peeks from 'FAST DESCENT' on maps like Border or Oregon – a revolver can absolutely shine there. Its range can sometimes surprise people too, making it viable for picks that are just out of comfortable SMG range. Now, the Shotgun. Oh, the trusty shotgun! While it might feel restrictive at first to run a shotgun as your only primary, its utility in close quarters is unmatched. When you're pushing into OBJ sites, especially on maps with destructible floors or soft walls, a shotgun isn't just a weapon; it's a breaching tool. Imagine pushing 'EXT Garage Ramp' or 'EXT High Roof' and needing to create new lines of sight or quick rotations. The shotgun excels at this. It's a fantastic choice for operators like Lion, who can use his EE-ONE-D to pinpoint enemies, then blast them with his SG-CQB. In tight corridors or when dealing with multiple enemies in rapid succession, especially when you're caught in a '5VS4' or '3VS3' retake situation, the shotgun’s spread can wipe out opponents in an instant. Just remember your 'RELOAD' discipline – nothing worse than running dry mid-fight! So, when do you pick which? If your playstyle is more about methodical pushes, setting up crossfires, and maintaining distance while still offering a punch, the revolver as a primary (or a very strong secondary alongside a utility primary) can be brilliant. It forces you to be more accurate and strategic with your engagements. On the other hand, if you're the entry fragger, the flanker, or the one responsible for creating chaos and opening up sites, then dedicating yourself to the shotgun can be incredibly effective. It's about dominating those close-range encounters and leveraging destruction. I've personally found that combining Lion's EE-ONE-D with a shotgun for aggressive pushes, or Twitch's drone utility with her high-damage revolver for precise picks, creates some truly unique and powerful dynamics. The key is understanding the map, your operator's strengths, and the enemy's setup. Don't be afraid to experiment! Whether you're attacking a 'DEFUSER' plant or defending it, knowing when to commit with a shotgun blast or land a precise revolver headshot can turn the tide. Give this 'only strat' a go; you might be surprised how much fun and effective it can be!
