Shotgun: Pump Charge

Learn to wield the ULTRAKILL Pump Charge Shotgun. Charge shots for increased damage and tighter spreads, blending controlled aggression with raw power.

The Pump Charge shotgun is a versatile and potent weapon that bridges the gap between raw power and controlled aggression. Its primary fire is a standard shotgun blast, effective at close to medium ranges. However, its true strength lies in its ability to charge up its shots for increased damage and a tighter pellet spread.

Holding down the primary fire button allows the Pump Charge to build up energy. A fully charged shot not only deals significantly more damage but also fires a more focused blast, making it effective at longer ranges than a standard shotgun. This charging mechanic transforms the Pump Charge from a simple close-quarters weapon into a tool capable of engaging enemies at various distances with precision and force.

The alt-fire, the Pump Charge, is a unique projectile that, when fired, will travel a short distance and then explode in a localized burst. This is excellent for dealing with enemies that are slightly out of reach or for breaking up enemy formations. It can also be used to create a temporary barrier of damaging energy, forcing enemies to reroute or take damage.

Effective use of the Pump Charge requires a good understanding of its charge levels and when to deploy the alt-fire. For standard encounters, a quick tap of the primary fire is sufficient. Against tougher enemies or at a distance, a charged shot is essential. The alt-fire is best used to supplement your primary fire, either to finish off weakened foes or to control enemy movement. Mastering the reload animation is also important, as a well-timed reload can keep your offensive pressure high.

• Primary Fire: Standard shotgun blast, with charged shots for increased damage and tighter spread.
• Alt-Fire (Pump Charge): Localized explosive burst. Useful for ranged engagements and breaking formations.
