Battlefield 6 has an Insane 1 Hit Kill Sniper Shotgun...
Chapters5
The creator introduces a slug shotgun build and explains its high damage at range when ADS, while hitfire is less reliable.
Jackfrags shows off a slug-loaded M1014 shotgun in Battlefield 6, turning CQB into a slug-fest and racking up near-mythic one-shot moments.
Summary
Jackfrags rolls the M1014 shotgun with slug slugs to test its range and damage in Battlefield 6. He notes that hit-fire isn’t reliable beyond close quarters, but ADS with slugs delivers surprising power at mid-range. The clip highlights how the slug setup can melt enemies up to around 20–25 meters and even asks how the gun would fare on maps like Cairo. He adds quick context about BF Labs play tests on GMO Railway and discusses upcoming map changes and new weapons seen in the BF Labs build, like the PB19 Vityas SMG and the M16 A4 with both full auto and burst modes. Throughout the session, Jackfrags emphasizes pacing, map choice, and avoiding exploitative spam-heavy play, signaling a balanced approach to multiplayer chaos. He also jokes about cosmetics, camos, and a potential return of Grand Bazaar, tying personal hype to the broader Battlefield ecosystem. The video ends with live-fire play, a few near-misses, and an invitation for viewers to drop their thoughts and try the slug setup themselves. It’s a playful yet practical look at how a seemingly niche weapon choice can shape a round’s momentum on certain maps.
Key Takeaways
- Slug shotguns can perform at mid-range when using slugs with the M1014, delivering high damage beyond traditional buckshot ranges.
- ADS with slugs on the M1014 significantly increases kill potential compared to hit-fire, especially on maps with longer sightlines.
- On Cairo and similar maps, the slug setup may outperform expectations by enabling rapid close-quarters punishments even when enemies are at mid-range.
- BF Labs builds show off new weapons like the PB19 Vityas SMG and M16 A4 with full-auto and burst modes, signaling evolving loadouts in the upcoming season.
- The video stresses a balanced multiplayer approach, avoiding sledgehammer spam (artillery or smoke-heavy play) to preserve cinematic moments without overwhelming spam.
- Cosmetics and unlock systems are becoming easier to access, with Fleets of camos and skins contributing to the game’s long-term grind and vanity goals.
- There’s hype around map updates (e.g., Grand Bazaar) and next-season maps, suggesting a dynamic battlefield environment beyond a single match.

Mate, that's ridiculous. Come on. Right then. Today we're going to be using this bad boy here, the M1014 shotgun. I don't think I've ever posted a clip of this in a video, a single kill. I've just not used it cuz the pump action was so good. But I thought today we'd try a shotgun that I hadn't really used before. And I saw a couple threads where people were saying, "This is actually quite good." And the build that I've gone for has got slugs in it. And slugs are pretty good at range as you can see.
Damage is quite high. Now hit fire. Not great. Missed that second shot. Unlikely to hit this. Watch one. See, you got to get real lucky with the hitfire once they get beyond what was that 20 25 m. But if you ADS then Oh, baby. It's actually quite a lot of damage. I mean, that guy at the back there, 43, pretty good. So, yeah, let's get on a close quarters map and check it out. I drop a like on the video, guys. Thank you. That'd be amazing. I know the BF6 videos have been doing great recently and lots of people are enjoying them and watching them and leaving great comments.
So, yeah, appreciate you. This is the build quickly. There you go. I did see as well that there was a BF Labs Apac play test on GMO Railway. So, they're doing BF Labs testing again and they were on Gourmet Railway, which is a map that's apparently coming next season. And yeah, they just don't care. They just live stream on Billy Billy. They put videos on YouTube and it's all out there now. And the map looks pretty big. It looks like it's got seven flags, which is cool. They've added a load of cover for infantry, which is great to see because as much as Gwood Railway I think is a great sandbox map, there was definitely some improvements that could have been made to the BF4 version, like in between the flags.
And it looks like they've thought about it a bit and put some cover there. So, that's cool. I mean, one of the flags is the factory look like a bit of a redesign. So, I'm looking forward to playing it. What map would the shotgun be good on? I mean, I did one on Cairo with the pump action, didn't I? What's the other beta map called? Iberian Offensive. I've not played this for years. It's been 84 years. Yeah, I played that so much in the beta. Could be all right for the shotgun. Actually, we're also in the BF Labs build.
They were using some of the new guns, and it looks like it's a bit of a blast from the past. So, they've got the PB19 Vityas, which is an SMG. They've got the M16 A4. I know some people were thinking it was the A3, but it looks like in the BF Labs build it's the A4, but you can do full auto and burst. That gun's going to be insane. They've got the L115, which is a classic sniper rifle. It's basically the or from CS. And there's also stuff like artillery strike battle pickups and smoke screen battle pickups.
So, it looks like they're doing more of that in multiplayer, which I'm kind of okay with. Could lead to some proper cinematic moments as long as you can't spam that stuff, right? like it's something you have to actually go and get. You pick it up and then you aim and you can be killed while you're doing it. I don't want to see constant artillery strikes or anything like that. That skin is dope, isn't it? I kind of like that skin. I mean, I'll take defibs if I'm playing support mortar. I've done the mortar video. That's done.
Scorpion a secondary, too. Are there any skins for this extinction event? What is that? A gold. It kind of looks like the phantom skull. I don't think it is, though. Have I got Oh, I got loads of camos now, too, cuz they actually let you unlock them way easier. It was so difficult to get, man. What do I go for? Something urban, maybe. I like that one. That's pretty sick. Go with Twilight, Team Edward. Never seen that movie or any of those movies. Wait, my hood's turned off, guys. I always make this mistake when I record a video for the first time in the day.
Let's do this. I'm really interested to see how this performs. I've got to be careful, though, cuz if I rely on hitfire, I'm going to be screwed. We took C there pretty easy. Where should I go? Oh, damn. Now I see. I mean, I know it's slugs, but wait, this guy. Oh, the smoke's in the way, mate. That's ridiculous. Come on. I can hear people, I think. ruined. Anyone else? Anyone want some? Some of the slug. Right, he's going to come in, I think. Come on. I know you want this. Oh, this is disgusting. What are these red things here?
Oh, C4. You just put some C4 down. Does that guy think? Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did I just get another girl with that? This is fun as hell. Why haven't I done this already? Ruined. How did you get up there? Through the window. I'm not sure. I'm going to move. That was an absolute riot. That building. Wow. I had a good time there. Got ABC. Oh, wow. Where did you come from again? Another jump scare. I've been get Why is that pinged? I've been getting jump scared in this game. Very, very scary this game.
How fast can you fire this? It's kind of like a DMR speed, you know. And I guess cuz it slugs, you do get close and long range. Reload. Oh, you're an enemy. Wow. See, that's the close range. One shot. They're pushing underneath now. H, this feels wrong. Come and get me. I mean, point blank, you're not going to miss that bit of hit fire. Anyone else, dude? Come on. Come on, guys. What are we doing? I'm an absolute slug rat right now. I like being a little rat. Wait, I got you, mate. My teammates are being rats with me now as well.
This is good. In the street. Oh, come on. Oh, he's got a sniper. I've got a shotgun. Shotgun beat sniper. I'm going to push out of the building and see if I can actually take the D objective cuz I've just been riding in these buildings for the last 3 minutes. I hear someone. Wait. Deleted. Okay, there is. Don't worry. Did the other guy skip? I think he did. That's dangerous. Very dangerous. Love all these buildings, man. This reminds me of the Matrix for some reason. I don't know why. Every time I play this, I'm like the Matrix.
I know. I need to watch the Matrix again. Goodbye. Yeah. Bye. I can't see. I can't see that. It's really hard to see through that little grave. All right, let's go down here. Are these Wait, is that mortars coming in? That's a lot of mortars. We took D. I mean, we absolutely crushed it on this game. Maybe I should do a Cairo afterwards and see how effective it is on that map as well, cuz it it's very good here. I feel like I don't even have to try with this gun. They just kind of die, you know?
I mean, look, they just died. This has been an absolute stomp of the NATO team. They've been ruined. I want more slugs, though. There's more slugging to be done. Well, it worked really well on this map. It's going to be insane on Cairo. Okay, so this is escalation, too, rather than conquest. So, this is going to get crazy. And the slug is going to start slugging, I'm telling you. Oh, yeah. There were rumors as well that they're bringing Grand Bazar back. in the next season. You have Grand Bazar, one of the best BF3 maps. They're bringing it back, apparently.
So, I might hop on BF3 tomorrow. We'll see. I could see if I can find a BF3 server that's active. I did check earlier. There's about 150 people playing right now. Not much on PC, but maybe there'll be a Grandar server somewhere that I could jump onto. Perhaps I should go engineer on this cuz of the vehicles. We nearly got the first set. Let's go this way. this corridor here. I can see him on the mini map. Peek me. Let's go. Peek me. I'm patient. You got to peek me. Oh no. Watch out, lads. Are they resing?
There's something down there. What is that? Get the drone in. He might still be on the left. No, there was two there. There he is. Ooh, the damage up close, man. That does not mess around. Look at this. Right, mate. Just chilling. He's using the strategy that I was doing the other day on Operation Firestorm. Just lying down on a roof. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. There could be some kills here. Did that not Okay, I definitely need to work on that. It's not very consistent behind me. footsteps. Good. There might be someone upstairs.
OH, GET WRECKED. No one else. I hear someone coming up. Friendly. There's a guy here. Oh, that was lucky. Very lucky. Oh, where's the follow? There it is. Oh, unlucky. They're still there. I think they're still there. I've had an ACOG. Imagine. What is going on there? Well, I'll move. Go to E with my squad. Oh, wait, wait, wait. They're flanking. They're flanking, I think. Hold this for a second. Nearly got that second guy. Let's double frag that in case they're going to go for a res. Might be a flank here looking at the mini map.
Let's see. Hopefully I don't run into any enemies here. Goodbye. They're still here. I clear. Yeah. Guy run past on the left. Right. Where did he go? In here. And where's the other guy that was shooting at me? I hope he doesn't have a rocket launcher on the right. No idea that guy was there. I think that was 14 kills there. Pretty good on B. Did you kill that dude? Yeah. You got to hold on to now. The boys are going to get that. Let's go down here. Quad bike just destroyed the electric thing behind him there.
Up in the window. Oh my god, look at this. There's black down right here. Shooting through the window. Frank. He's right there somewhere. Triple kill with that nade. That was lucky. Wow. Is that it? I think that was the whole squad maybe. Deleted. There was another one, right? assist. Oh. Uh-oh. Get out. I'm coming in there to get you, lads. They're in here. Upstairs. Have they got a trap for me? C4. Something. Where'd they go? They were in here a second ago. Wait, they can't have been. Have they been killed? Maybe they were killed. Well, this is my spot now.
We're two one up. We are Oh, we losing this period. Winning this period. Oh, wait. Was he on the balcony the whole time? No shot. I think he might have been on the balcony the whole time. Isn't that the guy that I just killed? He's kind of like a DMR, you know. There's another guy in the street. He grenaded. All right, he's got my number blowing up the building. Let's move. It does make me wonder if they're confused when they see that it's a shotgun that killed them from that kind of distance, though. Sorry, mate.
Let's go back here. Bye-bye. Let's take this then. Why not? Unless there is someone. Oh, right there. I love these back streets. Very cool. There there's a mine there and there. Good. Okay, we're going to get this for sure. Now, I feel like the slug shotgun has been even more effective on this map. It was pretty good on Iberian offensive, but on here there's just something about the engagement ranges. Maybe it's the fact that I'm playing escalation gives you different opportunities for kills. You really on your own there? I mean, I guess I'm on my own, right?
Are you alone, huh? Did I just sit the enemy right there? Guys, we can't be lying down on the job. Very bad for your health. Right, we got this. Although, one engineer has sorted that. One engineer and that thing's dead. I'm going to go for it. Give me Give me Give me Can you just give me There you go. RPG. No, I thought I get Oh, what a slam. Oh my wow. Can somebody help me, please? I might need to switch to engineer. I mean, I'm going to still use the shotgun, though. Of course, this is where escalation gets real spicy.
Come on. Let's go. I got all the explosives now. I got every explosive there ever was and ever will be. We've got to push up to D. Unfortunately, there's a guy there. Gorilla in the mist. Not missing that. There he is. One more and he's dead. I can't even see him. Please let me out. Dice. Dice. Free me from this prison. Oh, the slide. Please. I'm trying to get over. I don't think we're going to do it, lads. The slug shotgun wasn't strong enough to bring home the bacon for the boys. Oh. weapon. Un what?
Did I not unlock the for DBS already? What the hell? Yeah, I can't believe that Sluggy Boy didn't get the win. But that gun is great. That's a really fun way to play as well. You got to change your brain a bit though cuz you can't hit fire with the slugs. You really just got to aim. But like I said, you can get the one shot at close range and you can fight in medium long range, too. Very, very good. Anyway, guys, let me know your thoughts down below. Appreciate your support on the BS6 live commentary videos.
They've been popping off. You guys have some great comments. Like I said previously, love reading them. Love seeing your reactions and then people going and try the stuff that I'm using. You know, it's always always a blast. With that said, drop a like, guys. Subscribe if you're new. And I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
