Summary[]
The Shotgun is a pump-action and single-shot form of shotgun that has 3 shells per magazine clip. It has a very slow fire rate and can deal huge amounts of damage point blank or up close.
Damage[]
Unlike other weapons, the Shotgun fires 7 bullets at once. Each bullet does 25 damage to the body, and 30 to the head. If an enemy is hit in the head with all 7 shots it will total 210 damage. As the player gets further from their target the strength of the shots decrease. After 24 meters of distance the damage decreases to 8 per bullet[1]. It also becomes harder to hit a target with several bullets as the distance between the player and target increases. Beyond 24 meters the Shotgun does not do any damage. It's best to use this weapon at close range.
Weapon Spread[]
Shotgun weapon spread
The Shotgun has a fixed weapon spread meaning that the bullets spread in the same way every time. The bullets are distributed in a hexagon shape. The closer the player is to their target, the closer the bullets will be to each other when they hit their target. The 6 outer bullets align with the edge of the default Shotgun crosshair.
Reloading[]
Similar to the Rocket Launcher, the Shotgun reloads one shell at a time instead of an entire clip. Pressing the reload button will start reloading 1 shell a time until 3 are loaded. The player may interrupt the process before all 3 shells are loaded. This can be very effective for a team wipes where the player kills 3 enemy team members, reloads 1 shell, then kills the 4th. With a reload time of 0.5s per shell, a full "clip" can be loaded within 1.5s.
