I got a basic 12 gauge and thinking about upgrades and there's a million options but I don't want to turn it into a tacticool mess, what do y'all actually use?
The only three accessories you absolutely need are a bright light to see what you're shooting at, a side saddle so you don't run dry, and a better grip/stock so it doesn't try to beat your shoulder off. Anything else is just spending money to look cool on your basement couch...focus on the basics
My old 12ga stayed simple, I swapped to a modified choke, added ghost-ring sight, leather sling, and a side-saddle. I took it pheasant hunting and it had cleaner patterns and faster reloading, no tacky stuff at all
