A certain playstyle of shooter (or other competitive) games in which a player uses nothing but a close-range weapon, usually a shotgun. Instead of using good positioning and a balanced loadout enabling them to fight at medium range, they get the highest possible mobility and defense that they can and run straight towards the enemy with their shotgun or close-range weapon.

Most players enjoy it for the close-quarters one-hit playstyle and the ability to strike fear into players who are not equipped to deal with them.
