The '''Shotgun''' is the weapon you start with. It is not very powerful but remains useful throughout the singleplayer campaign for hitting monsters (such as [[Scrag]]s) at long range, when a slow-moving projectile won't do. For close-range combat its use is completely eclipsed once you pick up the [[Double-Barrelled Shotgun]], which is more efficient in both damage over time and damage per shell used (but has a wider spread).
