MODDING GUIDE

ORANGE MODS
Refer to the JG/CSG section for info on Shotguns and Orange Mods.

PURPLE MODS
Mobility Sling - This weapon's red mod takes advantage of Marksmanship, allowing you to have a JG-like spread if you zoom in thus extending your range a bit, at the cost of cutting your fire rate in half. MS is not recommended however as you'll be rarely using this feature and there are far more useful mods.
3-Point Sling - As with the NFAS you will be switching pretty often so this mod can help.
Tagger - Refer to other shotguns

BLUE MODS
Bandolier - Same as the NFAS.
Magazine Pull - The DOW is reloaded shell by shell - Magazine Pull will give you an extremely short reload time allowing you to fill your magazine in an instant or to place an extra shell when you need it. Since all levels take 2 shells away, go for level 3.
Extended Magazine - Reloading shell by shell with Extended Magazine takes an eternity, so you might want to stay away from it.

RED MODS
The DOW comes with a preset red mod.

DOW is a weird hybrid between all existing shotguns - it has the NFAS TTK and spread, the JG's semiauto and reload functions, and the Shredder's extended range gimmick, and it ends up being pretty much being the middle ground - in a bad way. Technically it's still very usable and it can be effective in the right hands, but all of its rivals have something better to offer and are far easier to use. But hey, permanent shotgun.
Best mod available is Magazine Pull 3, other mods either have no effect or are detrimental.


TIPS
- TTK goes up from 0.6s to around 1s if you fire all your shells while looking down sights. This wouldn't be bad if everything in your range (<20m) didn't already kill faster than the DOW. As such, avoiding Marksmanship except for rare cases (i.e. opponent running away from you) and treating this gun like a semiauto N-FAS is the best course of action.
