- "Compact pump action 12-gauge shotgun with close range stopping power. Optimal for CQB."
— In-game description
The ITA12S is a shotgun featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, introduced in the Operation Velvet Shell expansion. It is available for use by Mira, Jackal, Frost, Amaru and Ram.
Overview[]
While the ITA12S is statistically more powerful than even the M870, the extremely steep damage drop-off and wide pellet dispersion hinder its damage potential.
It is mostly useful for its destruction capabilities during the preparation phase and the early game, eliminating the need to bring a shotgun as a primary weapon or to waste an explosive gadget. While attacking, it is also useful for destroying barricades and hatches quickly, or to create lines of sight.
Pros[]
- High damage per pellet
- Utility use
Cons[]
- Low magazine capacity
- Extremely steep damage dropoff
- Slow reload
