Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The Banshee is a pump-action sonic shotgun that balances stopping power and fire rate, according to Screen Rant. The one published class we could read is a hip-fire setup using the Expose variant, and it is a fair starting point for close-quarters play. It reflects TheXclusiveAce's December 2016 video as written up by CODFPS, so it predates later updates.
Best Banshee loadout
This setup comes from one undated CODFPS post about that video, and no second source confirms it. The video's own view is that any shotgun works here.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Variant | Expose | Has the Steady trait |
| Attachment | Laser sight | Sight attachment; effect not listed |
| Trait | Steady | Increases one-shot kill potential |
| Secondary | Hornet | Backup for when a shotgun is not practical |
| Perk | Cold-Blooded | Hides your name from enemies |
Why this build works
The post's reason for Cold-Blooded is psychological: with no name showing, enemies hesitate. Steady works toward the same goal by raising the chance of one-shot kills. Unlike every other class in the post, this one drops Quickdraw, because you are told to hip-fire rather than aim down sights.
How to play it
Fire from the hip and keep to places where you can force close fights, swapping to the Hornet when you cannot. A January 2017 Steam poster also rated the Banshee, though that is only opinion. The Hornet backup may not be legal in competitive play: Charlie INTEL's 30 January 2017 report lists it as restricted under the CWL rule set.
