Shotguns are devastating at close range, capable of taking down multiple enemies with a single blast. The Shotgun, Stubby Shotgun, and Spaz-12 (Combat Shotgun) are available. The Spaz-12 offers a higher rate of fire and magazine capacity, making it the superior choice for intense close-quarters combat. Shotguns are excellent for clearing rooms and dealing with aggressive enemies.
However, their effectiveness drops significantly at longer ranges. Always try to close the distance when using a shotgun. They are available from Ammu-Nation and can be found in various locations. The Spaz-12 is a must-have for missions involving tight spaces and numerous enemies.
