Known as the Auto-Loading Shotgun in the Vanguard beta, the Gracey Auto's real-life counterpart is the Winchester Model 1911 shotgun. Like most shotguns, the Gracey Auto is horrid at range, regardless of attachments. But, the Gracey Auto's extremely fast fire rate leaves it with some untapped potential.
Vanguard players that take the time to level up this shotgun and modify the Gracey Auto with the right attachments will find that this weapon is severely underrated. Not only can it win a fight against any other weapon at close range, but it's also thrilling to use and a nice change of pace from the Vanguard weapons currently dominating the meta.
Whether you desire to run around the map hip-firing like a madman or burning your opponents to a crisp with incendiary pellets, we have the best Vanguard Gracey Auto loadouts for you.

Vanguard Best Gracey Auto Loadouts: Perks And Equipment
The Gracey Auto should really only be used on small maps with lots of enclosed spaces and tight corridors. This Vanguard shotgun is a beast in close-quarters combat but stands no chance in a mid to long-range gunfight. However, small maps are also havens for grenade spam. For that reason, we recommend pairing your Vanguard Gracey Auto loadout with the Fortified perk as a way to counter the shower of grenades.
When it comes to equipment, Armor Plates and Stim will help you to maintain and regenerate your health. Fighting at point-blank range is dangerous and will almost always result in you taking a chunk of damage. Armor Plates help you win those close calls while a Stim will bring you back to full health quickly, empowering you to hunt down more action with the Forward Intel and Lightweight Vanguard perks. The Throwing Knife serves as a Get Out of Jail Free card when you run out of ammo. Just quickly toss the knife to one-shot kill an enemy that's right in your face.
- Perk 1: Fortified
- Perk 2: Forward Intel
- Perk 3: Lightweight
- Secondary: Machine Pistol
- Lethal: Throwing Knife
- Tactical: Stim
- Field Upgrade: Armor Plates
That's everything you need to create the best Vanguard Gracey Auto loadout. The Gracey Auto is far from a meta weapon, but there's no denying that it is one of the most enjoyable Vanguard weapons to use when paired with the right attachments and perks.
