A catchy synonym for "shotgun noob" a
scattergun scrub is a player in any game featuring
shotguns, that prefers the use of shotguns over precision weapons; especially due to lack of skill or adaptability.
I created the term specifically to address certain members of the
Gears of War franchise.
"That kid keeps
peppering every inch of
the map with his shotgun, he's just another
scattergun scrub.
