Shotgun

The Shotgun is the 3rd weapon available, unlocked at level 4 and costing. It is the first shotgun in the game. It boasts an 8 round clip, with each bullet doing high Damage. In addition, the high Agility allows you to move quickly. However, it has poor Range and Accuracy. All in all it is an extremely powerful weapon for a low-leveled gun.

Strategy
The Shotgun is best used at close quarter battles to cripple Elite Bots and instantly kill enemies with low to normal boosting Health armor. Do not be surprised though, if in multiplayer, your victim does not drop right in front of your eyes. With even more damage-resistant armor being added to the shop, players are able to withstand a bullet of this deadly weapon if proper precautions are taken. However, the enemy's Health will be drastically reduced such that your next shot, if aimed correctly, will ensure his death. If used further away, the effectiveness of this weapon is reduced by 25% as the amount of shots falling on the opponent is reduced.

Apart from Damage, Agility is also an advantage of this weapon, so use it to sneak up on enemies quickly and, if spotted, evade the bullets that come your way. Its poor Range and Accuracy forces you to go in for the kill, but don't underestimate this weapon. Just like its relatives, it has the ability to rip apart enemies at close range. Although its reloading takes time which is a big bummer, you can interrupt the reload, allowing you to defend yourself in case your enemies decide to take advantage of your reloading time. Overall, it is a deadly weapon that should not be underestimated and is a glimpse of what stronger Shotguns can do.

Vulcan Dynamite
Vulcan Dynamite's signature weapon is the Shotgun, and is a worthy foe, for he can sneak up on you when you don't notice him and take you down with the sheer might of his weapon. In Missions, he is usually on top of the score list, most commonly after the player.
