The sound of shotguns in CSGO can be deceiving. Many players think that because a shotgun is a powerful weapon, it should have a loud sound. However, the sound of shotguns in CSGO are actually quite muted. This can lead to some players getting killed by someone who they thought was further away than they were.

This shotgun sound is a lot higher, making it more "realistic" in a sense. Just like in the old days of Counter-Strike: Source, the shotgun sound in CS:GO is a classic sound that many players love. The sound is unique and can easily be recognized when fired. The shotgun sound in CS:GO is powerful and can easily take down enemies at close range.
