Many of the attachments for close to mid-range engagements remain relatively the same, prioritizing a clear line of sight with the enemy and easy handling alongside powerful shots. Shooting from the hip, which shotguns generally excels at, was also taken into consideration along with a more powerful ammunition replacement to make spraying enemies with semi-automatic shots feel powerful without sacrificing any accuracy.
For long-ranged engagements, the 12M Auto really does not excel in being capable of causing critical harm over long distances, something that is also reflected in its various attachments. The focus instead for the build went into taking into account that players using the shotgun must move closer to their target in order to cause harm.
The attachments for long-ranged combat with the 12M Auto is thus meant to reduce the weapon's tendency to have bad handling. The weapon must also be capable of causing increasing harm towards an enemy as the player moves in, by which time they can either swap out ammunition or simply focus fire into an enemy up-close for the kill.
