Loadout Description[]

This lightweight shotgun is extremely fast and light, but is highly inaccurate as well.
- Can be upgraded
- Can be used akimbo
ALT-FIRE: Fire 2nd Shotgun
Overview[]
As an automatic shotgun, this weapon has a high rate of fire. It doesn't need any reloading which makes it ideal against groups of unprotected enemies. It is not really accurate, but you can hit mid-range enemies if you crouch.
As with most shotguns, it is effective only against unprotected and chitin targets and cannot pierce any defense, armour or supernatural, so you'll have to rely on headshots against enemies equipped with body armor. It also can't use alternative shell types, hindering its versatility.
As the loadout menu says, you can dual-wield the weapon. You will sacrifice a great deal of accuracy, even if you crouch. You won't be able to shoot while sprinting as well. As there is significant recoil at every shot, the user needs to constantly adjust or risk shooting over its target. However, with good aiming it can inflict severe damage at a very rapid pace with great satisfaction.
You will gain 8 shots per pick-up and you can hold up to 40 in total.
Upgrades[]
There are two upgrades for the Auto-Shotgun.
AS Accuracy Mod[]
This upgrade increases the accuracy of the weapon, reduces spread. The weapon becomes quite accurate if you crouch. The penalty of dual-wielding is also reduced but not by as much. Costs 150 polymers.
AS Magazine Mod[]
This upgrade doubles your total ammo capacity. Instead of 40, you will now be able to carry up to 80 shots. Costs 100 polymers.
Trivia[]
Ironically, while the loadout description calls the shotgun 'lightweight' and 'extremely light', it is a heavy category weapon.
