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 first shell fires at least one pellet straight down the [[Heads-up display|crosshair]] before "bullet spread" takes effect. 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 [[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.
+
[[Taunts|Taunting]] as Pyro with the Shotgun equipped results in the [[Hadouken]] kill taunt.

* Interestingly, whenever the [[Pyro]] equips his Shotgun, he pulls back once on the pump as if he was ejecting a spent shell, while the [[Engineer]], [[Soldier]], and [[Heavy]] do not.

* The Shotgun is a left-handed model (as shown by the ejection port being visible on the left hand side of the gun), despite all classes holding it right-handed. A right-handed Shotgun has the ejection port on its right side to prevent ejected shells from striking the user.

Revision as of 03:39, 20 March 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 first shell fires at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before "bullet spread" takes effect. 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.
