And that is how you do it, men!
The Soldier displays proper airshot technique

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. A star within a circle is visible on the weapon.

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.

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, Family Business and Shotgun.
