The Shotgun is a weapon in Payback 2.
Description[]
The Shotgun is a close-ranged ballistic weapon that deals high burst damage up close. It is a sawed-off double-barrel shotgun that shoots 5 pellets per shot that fans out in a wide arc. Hitting all five pellets at a single enemy is almost a guaranteed kill though some are lucky enough to survive; However the wide firing arc will disperse the pellets at any sort of range, requiring you to be up close and personal.
Vehicles, being a wider target, are especially vulnerable to assaults with the shotgun. Fragile cars such as the Pug will burst into flames within seconds of coming into the range of this weapon.
Being a double-barreled weapon the shotgun will consume 2 ammo per shot. It is impossible to fire one shell after the other, unlike real life.
Trivia[]
- Five pellets is a very odd number of pellets to be coming out of a double-barreled shotgun. Most common 12-gauge 00 buckshot shells will have anywhere between 9 to 15 pellets per shot.
- Shotguns in real life are decently accurate even out to medium range. It is however common to severely exaggerate the pellet spread in most shooters for game balancing reasons; Payback 2 is no exception to it.
- It appears to have a logo on the sides of the body near the trigger, which could indicate that’s the manufacturer of the weapon.
- Pretty powerful weapon for close range, players and AI players can be killed with 2 shots (or even just 1 shot if you are close enough and all pellets hits the target!)
- For 1 shot, you need to be quite close enough and all pellets needed to hit the target without a single miss. However, this is only work to higher the chance of 1 shot kill which means it is not 100% guaranteed to get 1 shot kill.
- If you pick up the shotgun you will get 20 rounds.
