The Reserve Shooter is a secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a pump-action shotgun with army green metal on the barrel and receiver and tan-wooden fore-end and stock.
At the cost of having only three shells per clip, this weapon increases the speed in which the Soldier switches between weapons by 15%. Additionally, it is able to deliver mini-crits to airborne targets for 3 seconds after switching to it from another weapon. 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.
