While it can hit opponent over extreme distance, its damage potential will be greatly diminished.

Counters

Despite firing pellets in a cone spread, the Riotgun is very much not a spray-and-pray weapon due to its slow firing rate. Utilize unpredictable movement and knockback from weapons to throw off the user’s aim.

Its close-range nature makes the shooter susceptible to opponents moving out of their field-of-view. Some of the ways to achieve this are circle-strafing and jumping over the shooter.
