How To Get Shotguns In Depth Tutorial

Every zombie player dreams of reaching the shotgun rank, but we all ask is it based on KD, all round stats or rounds, now we no the truth of ranking up in zombies.

- Short Text Tutorial -
Shotgun rank is based truly on KD and what rounds you get downed on for example if you get downed on lower rounds you have less chance of earning the shotgun rank if you get your first down on rounds 25+ you have more chance of earning the rank. Also it's based on KD aswell, I recommend playing town on easy by your self and get to round 25-30 and end it, keep doing this over and over until rank is earned.

- KD Tutorial -

How To Figure Out Your KD:
Divide Your Kills By Your Downs. (Alot Of People Don't Believe This But It Is True)

Requirements For The Shotguns:
You Will Need Atleast 120-200+ (220 Max)

- Video Tutorial -

- Recommended Tips -
Attempt to get your stats reset in some type of way (Very Difficult).
Start a fresh account with default starting stats i.e. bones.
Be pacient you won't earn them over night.
Know how to or practice to train zombies.

No it's not, It's based on your high round average if you average high rounds you would have a good K/D by default... I got my shotguns within 24 hours i played till round 100 on die rise had the normal skull with 0 downs ended game then boosted revives while sleeping and woke up with shotguns

That's the ways I know and have people of done it .

I heard that if you have more than 50 downs you can't get shotgun rank, is this true?

No DO NOT play on easy unless you already have a good kd. On easy every kill counts as half a kill

Getting There

It is based on all stats really. In only on the skull rank (on new account)but have 36,000 kills with only 7 downs and 6 deaths and have gone to round 55-70 every game. So with a KD of 5,000+ if it were KD based I would have shotguns. But seeing as my bullets fired(50,000),perks drank(56) and such are low that is why.

I agree with this, it is based on the Kill-to-Down ratio and rounds. You could go more than 100,000 kills and only a few downs but if you stop at round 8 every match, you'll stick with the bones. I've tested ten accounts in zombies and have all of them Shotguns. My newest one was based on just rounds and kills, no revives or perks drank, just K/D and Rounds. It currently has 40,000 kills but gone to round 36 in Town by myself and got Shotguns when I only had 20,000 kills. It is based on those two factors: KD and Rounds.

Thank you for definitely confirming this also hope it helped.

You need good rounds recommend attempting 40+ round with no downs or at least one.

Ehem... RelaxingEnd got shotguns with 0 kills.

Recently seen that so you could probably say it's a long process but he was getting very high rounds multiple times and also it's easier/faster like others have said just to get a balanced out KD record and rounds.

Your best option is starting a new account or it's going to be a long process also try and get good rounds which I'm guessing you have already done with that amount of kills also, don't do the town tactic unless you have good rounds.

I'm still pretty sure it's based on KD and rounds, but it has never been confirmed.
