Reload Time:

• Reloading from 0 (first shell):
  • Normal = 1.39s.

Upgrades

• Upgrade 2 (600): Base damage x1.5 (30 per pellet, 210 total), Base weight + 2 (7 total).

• Upgrade 4 (1500): Base damage x2 (40 per pellet, 280 total), Base weight + 4 (9 total).

Notes

• Player's stance has no effect on the pellet spread.
• Amount of recoil depends on player stance and movement. Crouching and aiming down sights gives the lowest possible amount of the recoil.
• Reloads each shell individually, and can be interrupted by pressing the fire button, aiming or bashing.
• Non-dry reloading (when there is at least one shell in the tube) requires players to play short animation where they draw and rotate the gun in order to prepare for shell insertion. This animation is not played during the dry reload where it is, instead, become the part of the "first shell insertion" animation.

Skill Synergies

• The Support's level 5 skill High Capacity Magazines gives it an extra 4 shells at the beginning of the round, lessening the need to conserve ammo.
• The Support's level 10 skill Salvo adds additional damage to pellets that pierce, potentially killing more ZEDs behind the one you shot.
• The Support's level 15 skill Armor Piercing Shot helps deal with large crowds of Clots and Bloats that are bodyblocking your shots.

Strategy

A strong weapon to use at the beginning of the round, even for low-level Supports. Not only does it tear through crowds of Clots, it can kill Gorefasts and Gorefiends in about 1 or 2 solid bodyshots; given the Gorefasts' high body health, this can help lessen pressure on everyone, especially for Firebugs, who fare poorly against them. Focus on crowds of Clots and Gorefasts. Avoid Bloats, Crawlers, and Stalkers if you can; Bloats will soak up a lot of shots unless you headshot them, Crawlers are difficult to hit effectively, and Stalkers will avoid your gunfire. If you're attacked in the middle of a reload, you can bash the offender and shoot them in one swift action, if you're loaded with at least 1 shell.

Trivia

• The flashlight on the muzzle break serves no purpose and can't be used, since all characters already have a flashlight equipped on their body.
