The Shotgun fires 10 pellets per shot for a total of up to 90 damage at point-blank range, enough to kill every class but the Soldier and the Heavy in two hits. However, it has damage falloff over distance and a wide spread, making it weak in long-range firefights.

The Shotgun's shells always fire at least one pellet straight down the [[Heads-up display|crosshair]], while the other bullets are spread out.

This article is about the stock primary or secondary weapon shared by the Soldier, Pyro, Heavy, and Engineer. For other shotguns, see Shotgun (disambiguation).
“ ”

The Shotgun is the default secondary weapon for the Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy, and the default primary weapon for the Engineer. It is a pump-action, sawed-off shotgun.

The Shotgun deals high damage at close range. However, its damage falloff at range and low accuracy makes it weak in long-ranged firefights.

The Shotgun's shells always fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair, while the other bullets are spread out. Random bullet spread, enabled in Casual Mode, causes the bullets to spread out in a random pattern. When random bullet spread is disabled, the pellets instead spread in a fixed three-by-three grid pattern, with two pellets overlapping in the center of the grid.

Taunting as Pyro with the Shotgun equipped results in the Hadouken kill taunt.
