Gameplay

The Shotgun can be loaded with two types of ammo, Slug Ammo and Buckshot Ammo. Slug ammo consist of a single, high caliber round that although deals less damage than Buckshot ammo, is significantly more accurate on medium distance. Buckshot ammo are dispersion cartridges that, although can inflict devastating damage at close range, have a low accuracy and are significantly more rare than Slug ammo.

Location

Found within a grave in which one of the Team B members has been buried. The Shovel is required to unearth the grave.

Updates

Patch 06	Added a new equip/unequip animation for shotgun that is simpler and matches the idle held pose, so blending feels smoother and less awkward
Patch 05	Shotgun rail is now on side of gun instead of top to avoid blocking vision Rotated the shotgun in the weapon case in inventory so that the mods are visible now that they are on the side
Patch 02	Removed shotgun pickup from bunker luxury
Patch 01	Halved shotgun damage
