Perfect


A combat shotgun is a mid-tier missile weapon notable for the high number of projectiles it fires per shot, making it effective against large groups of enemies in close range. However, its wide spread makes it inaccurate at longer range. They are typically found in chests or as a data disk.

It is the more powerful of the two "shotgun" weapons, the other being the single-shot pump shotgun.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • Combat shotguns are most effective against low-AV, swarming enemies such as Golgotha's chute crabs and Bethesda Susa's plastronoids.
  • The large number of stray pellets generated by this weapon can easily anger neutral creatures.
