The Reserve Shooter is a secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a pump-action shotgun with a wooden forend and stock, and an olive-shaded metal barrel and receiver.
At the cost of having only three shells per magazine, this weapon increases the speed in which the Soldier switches between weapons by 15%. It is also able to deliver mini-crits to airborne targets for 3 seconds after switching to it. Unlike the Direct Hit, the mini-crits from the Reserve Shooter are awarded even if the enemy was not launched into the air by explosive damage.

Update history
June 23, 2011 Patch (Über Update)
- The Reserve Shooter was added to the game.
- Fixed a bug where the Reserve Shooter would Mini-Crit against swimming targets.
- Added/Refined recoil/draw/crit/reload forces for all of the new weapons in the Uber Update
Bugs
- When taunting, the Shotgun sounds are used.
- While reloading, it is possible to force the reload animation to loop endlessly by holding both the primary and alt-fire buttons after reloading at least one shell. This can be similarly performed with the Frontier Justice and the Shotgun.
Trivia
- A Reserve Shooter is someone who provides backup for the front lines should any error occur.
