Revision as of 15:35, 23 December 2018

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 primary weapon for the Engineer and the default secondary weapon for the Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy. It is a pump action-style sawed-off 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 classes.

As the Engineer's most powerful weapon, players will use it primarily for defending buildings from nearby attackers, 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.

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.

Taunting as Pyro with the Shotgun equipped will perform the Hadouken kill taunt.
