The Shotgun is a close-range secondary weapon.
Overview[]
It can be found at the Warehouse Criminal Base, Police Base, and the Gun Shop. The shotgun is a Break Action Quad barreled shotgun, with a medium to high fire rate.
The shotgun has a magazine size of 4 and fires 12 pellets per shot. When reloading, the shells will all be reloaded at the same time. The animation can not be interrupted. Its damage can vary, dealing as low as 2 damage or as high as 72 depending on how many pellets struck the player and whether or not they landed in the head.
Trivia[]
- The Shotgun is officially called the 'Quad Barrel'
- The Shotgun appears to be based on the Lancaster Four-Barrel Shotgun.
- The old Shotgun appeared to be based on a sawed off Winchester Model 1897.
- The Shotgun is one of the few weapons that can be found at all general weapon locations.
- The Shotgun is one of the three weapons that fire more than one projectile at once, with the others being the AA12 and M1014
- Players can manipulate the knockback generated from firing the shotgun such that they can propel themselves aerially. If a player looks down and fires the Shotgun immediately after jumping, their jump height will be increased tremendously. This can be used in heists to get through them faster (e.g. skipping the piston in Jewelry Store) and getting over higher fences. This movement exploit, aka the shotgun jumping is not applicable to the AA12 or M1014.
- It is one of the five free weapons, along with AK47, Pistol, Knife and Grenade.
- It is one of the few weapons with fall-off damage, with others being the AA12, M1014 and M249.
