Learn where to find the Broken Shotgun and how to use it to bypass traps in Resident Evil Outbreak. Essential for Chris's scenario!

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the Broken Shotgun. Don't worry, it's not actually useful for shooting, but it's a super important key item in the Spencer Mansion. Think of it as a puzzle piece! Where to find it: You'll find this beauty in the Firearms room within the Spencer Mansion. It's there in both the original _Resident Evil_ and the _Remake_. What it's for: This broken gun is your ticket to getting the regular Shotgun without getting yourself squished by a ceiling trap in the 1F east lounge. This is especially crucial if you're playing as Chris, as it's the only way for him to get past that trap. For Jill, it's a bit more flexible, as Barry Burton can sometimes save you. But if Barry's not around to help, you'll need the Broken Shotgun too. Quick Tip: Keep an eye out for this item; it's key to progressing without taking unnecessary damage!
