The '''Shotgun''' is the primary weapon for the [[Engineer]], and the secondary weapon for the [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Heavy]]. It is a pump action style Shotgun with a small stock.
 
  
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, which is suitable for close range skirmishes. Usage and strategies will vary between [[class]]es.
+
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}}.
  
As the Engineer's most powerful weapon, players will use it primarily for defending their [[buildings]] from nearby attackers, or for helping a low-leveled Sentry Gun finish off a kill. Pyros may use the Shotgun for engaging targets unreachable via the [[Flamethrower]]. Soldier players will often rely on the Shotgun if out of rockets, and possibly for closed spaces where explosions would cause self-damage. On the other hand, users of the Heavy will employ the Shotgun to take down an enemy if he doesn't have the time to rev up his own [[Minigun]] or when mobility while firing is most crucial.
+
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.
  
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.
+
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.  
  
Renaming a Shotgun with a [[name tag]] allows the renamed version to be used and shared by the Engineer, the Soldier, the Pyro, and the Heavy.
+
[[Taunts|Taunting]] as Pyro with the Shotgun equipped results in the [[Hadouken]] kill taunt.

Medium range is defined as the length from the main resupply door to the opposite wall on the upper level of [[2Fort]]. Long range is defined as the length from battlement to battlement on 2Fort. Base damage is the damage done at 512 [[Hammer unit|units]] before damage variance or bullet spread. Ramp up maxes out at 0 units. Fall off maxes out at 1024 units.

Latest revision as of 20:36, 4 April 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.
