It holds 6 shells at a time, firing 10 bullets in a 3x3 pattern with the 10th bullet overlapping the center bullet. This naturally leads to the shotgun landing more bullets at closer ranges, making it an excellent option for dealing burst damage. This is supplemented by its large base damage of 6 per bullet, 150% damage ramp-up for 9 damage per bullet at point-blank, and a fast firing speed of about once every 0.6 seconds. Despite being relegated to a sidearm, the Shotgun is one of the most reliable weapons in the game, and its deadliness should not be underestimated. | ||
