The 12M Auto is one of the very few shotguns featured in Battlefield 2042. It should be obvious from the name of the weapon that it is fully automatic. As such, it is the most powerful close combat gun in the game. Here is a guide to the best 12M Auto gear and accessories.
Best 12M 2042 Autoload Battlefield
- View – Merge Holo
- Munitions – #1 Buckshot Shell / Tambour
- Underbarrel – LS-1 Laser Sight
- Barrel – Shortened Barrel
You can work well with the weapon's iron sights, but putting a clear scope like the Fusion Holo helps with visibility. Among the various ammunition accessories available, we recommend using the Drum magazine.
As it is a fully automatic weapon, you run out of ammo quickly and having more shells always helps. Here are some other great ammo options:
- Dart Shell – Increases damage against infantry but decreases range.
- Slug Shell – Increases auto shotgun range 12M.

Next, equip the Laser sub-barrel for better hip-firing accuracy. Finally, Shortened Barrel further increases rate of fire while reducing bullet speed. Reduced projectile speed shouldn't be an issue since we're only using Shotgun for close combat.
You can also try the classic MCS-880 shotgun for a change of pace. It's certainly not fully automatic, but offers more firepower and better effective range than the 12M Auto.
