The '''Shotgun''' is the primary weapon for the [[Engineer]], and the secondary weapon for the [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Heavy]]. It is a pump action style Shotgun with a small stock.
 
  
The weapon fires 10 pellets at a time every 0.6 seconds, and can deliver high damage at close range, but has a high damage falloff, which is suitable for close range skirmishes. Usage and strategies will vary between [[class]]es.
+
The '''Shotgun''' is the default secondary weapon for the [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Heavy]], and the default [[Weapons#engieprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Engineer]]. It is a pump-action, sawed-off {{botignore|shotgun}}.
 +
 
 +
The Shotgun deals high damage at close range. However, its [[Damage#Distance modifier|damage falloff]] at range and low accuracy makes it weak in long-ranged firefights.
  
As the Engineer's most powerful weapon, players will use it primarily for defending their [[buildings]] from nearby attackers, or for helping a low-leveled Sentry Gun finish off a kill. Pyros may use the Shotgun for engaging targets unreachable via the [[Flamethrower]]. Soldier players will often rely on the Shotgun if out of rockets, and possibly for closed spaces where explosions would cause self-damage. On the other hand, users of the Heavy will employ the Shotgun to take down an enemy if he doesn't have the time to rev up his own [[Minigun]], or when mobility while firing is most crucial.
+
The Shotgun's shells always fire at least one pellet straight down the [[Heads-up display|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.  
  
Like the [[Scattergun]], [[Shortstop]], and the [[Force-A-Nature]], the Shotgun's first shell will fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before 'bullet spread' takes effect. When random spread is disabled the pellets will land forming a three by three grid pattern.
+
[[Taunts|Taunting]] as Pyro with the Shotgun equipped results in the [[Hadouken]] kill taunt.
  
Renaming a Shotgun with a [[name tag]] allows the renamed version to be used and shared by the Engineer, the Soldier, the Pyro, and the Heavy.

* As with most {{botignore|shotguns}} in the game, the Shotgun is a left-handed model (as shown by the ejection port being visible on the left hand side of the gun), despite all classes holding it right-handed. A right-handed Shotgun has the ejection port on its right side to prevent ejected shells from striking the user.
*Before the Mann-Conomy update, Shotguns used by different classes used different reload speeds. (Engineer and the Heavy reloaded their Shotguns the fastest whilst the Pyro reloaded the slowest)
 
*After the Mann-Conomy update, every class used the fastest reload speed.
 
**A Renamed Shotgun uses the old reload speeds.
 
* When pumped, the shell ejects from the right of the Shotgun, the opposite side of the ejection port.
 
* The Heavy's hand is so large he pumps the Shotgun with his thumb and index finger.
 
* When you hold down the reload button the user would appear to be inserting an infinite amount of shells. However this case is only exclusive to Pyro's Shotgun.

Latest revision as of 19:54, 7 November 2024

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.
