Trench Gun

Description
The Trench Gun is a basic shotgun that is good on short range but useless on longe range, which means its ammo can be punished if you try to use this gun on that range. It is also one of the starter weapons, along with Pistol and Uzi.

Survivors

 * Never use this on long ranges due to Trench Gun's bad accuracy. It can be a ammo wastage leaving you vulnerable to any zombies while reloading.
 * The reload is longer, so if your reloading, try to use a secondary or a melee to fight the zombies until the reload ends.
 * The Trench Gun can one shot a Normal Zombie or any weak zombies in close range. Take advantage.
 * Just keep your distance, you can get damaged by any zombies if not cautious.
 * Try to use this against a Banshee or any high health zombies on close ranges, it can deal more damage.
 * Don't try a Bloater, as it can explode upon death obscure your vision and get more damage.
 * Aim for the head is quite hard due to bad accuracy, so it's best to not do that to avoid wasting Trench Gun's ammo.

Zombies

 * Use the dodge tactic to punish the Trench Gun's ammo, as the Trench Gun's ammo is low enough to leave a survivor vulnerable to zombies while reloading.
 * Trench Gun deals more damage on close range which kills you quite fast even if you have a high health zombie, so it's recommended to stay away.
 * A Bloater can be great against a Trench Gun, since it can explode obscuring the survivor's vision and deal damage to them if not running away or switching into a secondary or melee.
 * As a Banshee, when you chasing a Trench Gun user, always use dodges, the Trench Gun can deal more damage on short range which kills you quickly if not dodging.

Pros

 * High damage when close.
 * Free when you first join a game. (Remember that it is randomised with Uzi.)
 * Cheap to buy with coins.
 * Useful against a high health zombie when close.

Cons

 * Bad accuracy.
 * Useless on long ranges.
 * Long reload.
