The '''Shotgun''' is the default [[Weapons#engieprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Engineer]] and the default secondary weapon for the [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Heavy]]. It is a pump action-style sawed-off {{botignore|shotgun}}.
+
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 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 over distance. Usage and strategies will vary between [[class]]es.
+
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 [[buildings]] from nearby attackers, [[spy checking|checking suspicious players]], or for helping a low-level [[Sentry Gun]] finish off an enemy. Pyros may use their Shotgun to engage targets outside the range of their [[Flamethrower]] or when underwater. Soldiers will often rely on the Shotgun if they are out of rockets, cannot take the time to reload, and for closed spaces where explosions would cause self-damage. On the other hand, Heavies will employ the Shotgun where there is no time to use the [[Minigun]] effectively, 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 [[scout#primary|Scout's]] primaries, 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.

* When pumped, shells are ejected from the right of the Shotgun as opposed to the ejection port on the left. Additionally, shells appear to be ejected the wrong way, with the tube facing the firing pin instead of the primer. Not only that, but the Shotgun, along with the Pistol and the Frontier Justice both appear incorrectly mirrored, in that the ejection port is on the left of the weapon, even though it should be on the right. Whether or not this is intentional is uncertain.

* The [[Stock weapons|stock]] variant of the Shotgun has a different viewmodel position compared to non-stock variants of the weapon.
* When the Pyro reloads the Shotgun, no shells are actually loaded into the gun. Additionally, the last shell will be reloaded twice with a sound and animation error.
 
* When the Heavy reloads the Shotgun, the first shell stutters and disappears. Also the inside of the ejection port moves everytime the Heavy inserts a new shell.

A right-handed Shotgun has the ejection port on its right side to prevent ejected shells from striking the user.
* The Shotgun appears to be a [[w:Ithaca M37|Ithaca M37 Shotgun]] with a sawn-off barrel and an altered stock. An American-made firearm, this {{botignore|shotgun}} was used during World War II and the Vietnam War.

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.
