Tac-19

"Pump-action directed energy weapon. Best in class mobility."

- In-game description

The Tac-19 (referred to as UTS-19 in game files and early footage) is a directed-energy, pump-action shotgun in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Unlike most directed-energy weapons, the Tac-19 uses ammunition and must be reloaded, as opposed to a rechargeable battery. Despite the aesthetics, damage is based on the buckshot, just like all other buckshot shotguns.

Campaign
The Tac-19 is available in the campaign, mostly used by the Atlas forces. It is a starting weapon in "Traffic".

Multiplayer
The Tac-19 is the first shotgun unlocked, and it comes as part of a default class.

It has extremely high damage, easily one-shot killing enemies, as well as generally high range for a shotgun, but a low rate of fire due to the pump action. Compared to other shotguns, it has power a player can rely on for a one-shot kill, but it doesn't have the rate of fire if one relies on making a back-up shot. It's hip-fire spread is also very large, making it good to use a Laser Sight. Due to the pump action, recoil settles almost perfectly for the next shot to take place, making recoil non-existent, and nullifying the need for a Foregrip.

Exo Survival
It also appears in Exo Survival. It costs 1 upgrade point, and is unlocked by default in the Specialist Exo class. It was also originally used by enemy Grunts after the map had been "flipped" at least once, but it was replaced by the S-12 in an update.

Compared to the other shotguns, it is not a totally effective weapon due to its low ammo capacity, slow reload speed, and high hipfire spread, but has a high amount of range for a shotgun as well as a low unlock point value and highest handling of the shotguns.

Exo Zombies
The Tac-19 appears in Exo Zombies. It is available as wall weapon near Exo Health and Exo Soldier for 1500 Credits.
