Tactics

Likely the first shotgun the player obtains, it is a large improvement over the handguns available before then. However, its poor stats in categories other than damage and knockback means it should be used as part of a team, where its wielder supports and is supported by the other survivors.

Recommended Gear

• Ammunition Mods increases the damage dealt.
• Ammunition Pouches/Bandoliers decrease the reloading time.
• Extended Mags allow it to lay down more fire before having to reload.
• Glasses increase the short effective range, with some variants increasing accuracy as well.

Pros

• High Damage
• High Knockback

Cons

• Small Magazine
• Slow RoF (vs other shotguns)
• Reloads Slowly
• Short Effective Range

Trivia

• The Shotgun uses the same model as the Ambrose Shotgun, with the only difference being a different color on the wooden parts.
