Here's an op tip for this gun: After firing immediately reload and cancel it by sprinting as quickly as possible. This will allow you to quickly fire again and avoid that slow pump animation.
I can't express to you how frustrating it is trying to shoot someone with this gun, who is dancing side to side rapidly with a sub machine gun. YOU CAN'T HIT THEM.
andrew94 saj It certainly can be, but sometimes its almost too amazing. You can pull off things that will keep the game fun and exciting where other mundane "hold and wait till they die" guns don't provide the same feedback. I suggest going with a medium to low DPI, (mine is 900) you want quick aim down sights, laser sight and long barrel and keep with it until its muscle memory and reaction. Take a quick aim and shot, try to snap your shots onto them instead of holding and following and if you miss, run away and let try to lure them around corners.
Love this weapon. It's also nice to see that lots of other players are picking up this weapon as opposed to when the game first came out and everybody's create-a-class slots were filled with smg's.
Shooter Games with Ging3rman117 It's basically a mid-range sniper rifle. My highest stats with any weapon come from it, just because of that. 3k kills, 67.8(somewhere around there) accuracy, and a lot of headshots from going for fun challenges.
Back when XboxAhoy was ModernLife Stabbing people all over the place with the knife Telling people you should enter the strife While giving them advices, saving their lives Now it's XboxAhoy Expert with all the CoD Toys Slaying all the young boys With his flanking ploys And that's quite a thing to enjoy.
here's my set-up: KSG w/ laser sight, long barrel, reflex sight Executioner w/ long barrel Primary Gunfighter Lightweight Scavenger Semtex The KSG is an excellent short-mid range weapon, even if it is inconsistent. It's best used with cover. For an idea on range, I've killed enemies in the center near the gas things with one shot from the top floor of the central buildings near the spawns, and two-shot enemies emerging towards the center from the other side. Executioner kills short range enemies quite nicely but the KSG can kill short range enemies hip-fired, even if inconsistent. Just use cover with this weapon. Cover does wonders in dealing with more than one enemy as you won't win many straight-up gunfights with the KSG.
My setup I use is KSG with Reflex, Long Barrel and Fast Mags. Flak Jacket, Scavenger and Tactical Mask for perks and Semtex and Black Hat for Care Packages
EDIT FROM 2018 (Whooo!): I swear I will buy this game on Steam if it goes on sale for under $30 and if it has players just to use my baby again. I miss you so much, KSG. My Loadout: WILDCARDS: Primary Gunfighter ATTACHMENTS: Reflex Long Barrel Quickdraw SECONDARY None SCND. ATTACHMENTS N/A PERK TEIR 1: Lightweight PERK TEIR 2: Toughness PERK TEIR 3: Dexterity LETHAL: Semtex/Combat Axe×1 TACTICAL: Flashbang×1
When you get the accuracy right, you can shoot people from super long ranges in 1-2 shots. Also it's one of the fastes reacting weapons in the game. I just love how it feels.
Hey Stu, instead of the combat axe, I would recommend a sidearm, either a B23-R or KAP-40. This will increase your effectiveness in close quarters, which is where the KSG is very vulnerable. And, without fast hands, the axe is almost obsolete. What do you think?
if you are switching from a smg like i did. i recomend. this class. long barrel, quick draw, and the stock. then light weight, toughness, dexterity, and extreme conditioning. this helped because i was used to the fast movement speed while ads with the smgs. i would go 2 and 15 without stock. then i get stock on and i go 20 and 0. the difference it makes for me is unreal
Flatline Gaming If you loved the MW3 KSG, that's the issue. You need to pace yourself, be patient. You will take damage, but ensuring your shot lands is very important. A great way to prepare to use the KSG is to use it on progressively difficult bots, to practice patience and timing. I didn't need it, though. You could also use the DSR with an ACOG, for a while, that's the closest you get. it's not a gun you can pick up and use easily, like the Remmy, which is literally the easiest gun to use in CoD history. Pace your shots, make sure your heavy lead butt plugs land in the right places-Mouth, anus, or dickhole.
wow this guide, sounds extremely professional....very well done..your voice made me sounds like i'm watching a tv show..very professional and very entertaining.
Personally 80% of Stu's Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide video has helped me but to each there own. I couldn't do what he did for the SMAW. But I powered through it, I am a Primary Weapons Master so I watch every, studding the secondary weapons video is key for me to have diamond everything.
Helpful vids mate. My freinds and I play 4 player splitscreen on my family's Xbox one. We have the settings set 17 points just for the hell of it. We almost always play hardpoint because it's really fun against hard bots. We each predetermine our roles before hand. I usually run an engineer class with the KSG and a Launcher. I carry two EMP grenades and blackhats to trigger enemy traps and hack scorestreaks. I use the launcher to take down enemy UAVs and counter UAVs and trap enemy care packages. I'm basically a COD troll and I love it!
I remember first finding out this things range, became my most effective and favourited gun overnight. Turned me from and average player into a God for a while
This is a great weapon to use if you mostly play Hardcore but need something to use on Core, because it won't force you to change playstyles very much. I strongly recommend carrying a second weapon for things outside of the KSG's range, such as the Tac 45 or MSMC. Like Stu said, the Long Barrel is vital. I actually prefer Stock over Quickdraw Handle, but that's a choice that varies from one individual to the next. And he's right, Flashbangs are the ideal tactical choice for this class.
The first time I used this (and the first time I'd ever played an FPS, actually) was at a friend's house. He challenged me to a 1v1 and brought the KSG vs. a loadout I made without ever having played an FPS before (it was bad to say the least). I got a lucky kill, stole the gun, and went on to get something like 45-50 kills in a row before he rage quit and said I wasn't allowed to use the gun because it was OP (he kept using it though).
With the right gear, you can use a slug-gun as a sniper IRL. Got a deer at 120 yards last year with my pump action. I'm glad they finally put slugs in the game.

The KSG is the 5th sniper rifle
Adam Davies lol so truer
Why couldn’t the mw3 ksg be like that lmao

Here's an op tip for this gun:
After firing immediately reload and cancel it by sprinting as quickly as possible. This will allow you to quickly fire again and avoid that slow pump animation.
So a different take on the lfd2 pump glitch where when you shoot, you immediately shove to avoid the cocking animation?

Yes

Shotguns can now knock enemy's over in COD
1:27 as well.
Wait, fuck this is a 3 year old comment
I can't express to you how frustrating it is trying to shoot someone with this gun, who is dancing side to side rapidly with a sub machine gun. YOU CAN'T HIT THEM.
I hate people using SMgs. You could just hip fire them, or knife them. I never aim when I use the KSG.
thats right!
its so hard to kill someone with the ksg

Returned to Remember the KSG.
I stayed to listen to Ahoy’s awesome commentary.
His says: " If you miss your shot, you might not live to fire another." Then he misses his shot.
+Lord Apophis "Might not live."
Kasen Ibaraki well in real life call of Duty there are a lot of sharks in the game and missing a shot will definitely get you killed.
Though that may be so.. these guides are for the in game weapons. Real life is obviously a different story, haha.
Indeed.
+Lord Apophis Indeed, in fact,you might not even get to shoot a single bullet before you die in real life...
This gun basically provides the close-range power of quickscoping, but with more flexibility :D

The KSG with Long Barrel and Laser Sight was a force to be reckoned with.
Years later...No one's going to talk about the Quad Feed he got in the beginning?!
Still my Favourite sniper 'till this day
Back when XboxAhoy was ModernLife
Stabbing people all over the place with the knife
Telling people you should enter the strife
While giving them advices, saving their lives
Now it's XboxAhoy
Expert with all the CoD Toys
Slaying all the young boys
With his flanking ploys
And that's quite a thing to enjoy.
noice! Noice Poem.
Fuzzy McFudger I forgot about this one. Weird how I was playing Blops2 and had just unlocked the KSG...
Really? That’s funny because I saw Ahoy say somewhere that he wasn’t much of a knifer, but maybe that was just on MW2. 🤷🏻♂️
This gun feels more like a close range sniper rifle than a shotgun
Kaeden Ngai-Natsuhara It practically is. I wish they'd bring it back in newer CoDs
And now we ended up get a "long range" shotgun

At 1:57. You can see he missed his target, but killed a guy that was behind that window?
Yep
Why did i reply to a 3 year old comment
@@ChodeMaster because, he needed clarification
Pure luck
Imagine wondering how you died then watching the killcam
*Facepalm* The KSG can fire any kind of 12 ga ammo. It just happens to use slugs in this game.
I love the KSG
It hit like a freight train and is as accurate as a sniper rifle, while also having fast ADS
My favourite gun from BO2. You could run lobbies with this on a good day.
When you get the accuracy right, you can shoot people from super long ranges in 1-2 shots. Also it's one of the fastes reacting weapons in the game. I just love how it feels.
1:27 holy moly! That dude went skyward!!!!

this week's clips were really impressive... nice job stu
I got the KSG gold today. I'm happy. I still hate it.
And you need to get Aimbot and be good at this weapons
If you are suck on this weapons i understand why you hate it
Waluigi ! just because he doesn't like it doesn't mean that's he's bad
Waluigi ! what? Speak english please.
you need to get gud at accuracy
mightytropius I love it
I love the fact your the only you tuber who does IRL stats love keep it going
When i use the KSG, i focus on mobility and accuracy so i can get to the enemies spawn and take them out
Probably the dopest gun breakdown i ever seen with a voice similar to that of a Viking
THAT RANGE DOE
Yup. May as well be a pump action low ranged sniper rifle.
XboxAhoy, home of RUclips's best closed captions/subtitles.
Agreed.
Did you see what happened at a 1:27
+Vincent Chen yeah lol
yeah that was awesome
XboxAhoy must've had an anti gravity slug round XD... I'm sorry, that wasn't funny
gg wp? And the 'anti gravity' was a joke
Oh wait, I understand, sorry
This is my favorite weapon by far
1:55 its funny how he says the penetration is great and right on queue, he gets a random kill through the wall lol
if you are switching from a smg like i did. i recomend. this class.
long barrel, quick draw, and the stock. then light weight, toughness, dexterity, and extreme conditioning. this helped because i was used to the fast movement speed while ads with the smgs. i would go 2 and 15 without stock. then i get stock on and i go 20 and 0. the difference it makes for me is unreal
Ugh the KSG is the only thing stopping me from getting diamond shotguns.
Should have done it first or second. It makes the others feel easy (and improves your aim overall).
KSG was my first gold gun. You just need to have:
A: Luck
B: Accuracy
C: and Accuracy. oh wait...

I remember first finding out this things range, became my most effective and favourited gun overnight. Turned me from and average player into a God for a while
hey Stu, I like the laser sight instead of the quickdraw because the tighter spread means more kills while hipfiring.
the KSG has been one of my favorite shotguns since MW3, and continues to be. it makes me giggle when I see kids running the laser sight on it.
Did anyone else notice that dude get launched into the produce at 5:21? That was awesome!
I would always put Ext. Barrel, Red dot and fast mag with this gun. I Loved this build
Your guides are so helpful, now i use my weapons better.
Never has then a shotgun more satisfying to use
That was some excellent gameplay Stu!
You sound like a proffessional on a tv show! Plus you are completly awesome! One new sub for you!
Hey Stu,
Love your channel! thanks for the tips! they are super in depth!
This video didnt age one bit, awesome production
I miss this game
The KSG is soooo dirty man. I love this shotgun
liked that flash-bang transition stu
Still to this day the best pump action shotgun in the franchise.
I remember using this with long barrel,fast mags and the bullet-thingy,that makes the bullets like normal ones(Don't judge me,I forgot)
This thing strafes like it already has stock, sometimes too well. I really have grown fond of it

You have the best weapon guide.
Wow that killed the flash bang explosion @3:08
There were camo and reticle glitches all over XBOX. It wasn't editing or anything, it was happening in the game.
I put stock instead of the long barrel. The ability to move fast while ADS is very helpful
And i understand why, balancing issues is the omega of it all, imagine the m1216 or s12 with slug capability on blops 2. hella fun, hella op
Jesus Christ Stu you are so good with that thing!
The KSG is my favorite sniper in Black Ops 2. This shit is a legit choice for competitive as well!
