Shotguns

Shotguns are one of the many firearms you can find, being suited for close quarters combat, they are one of the best weapons in the tight spaces of the caves, being found with ease at mid-to-late game, however they can carry only one bullet, and the user needs to be skilled with ranged weapons in order for them to be effective weapons.

All shotgun types use "Shotgun Shells" as ammo.

Quality Variations (Shotguns):

Feature Bonuses
Enhanced +5% Critical DMG
Reinforced
Standard ------------------------
Shaby -5% Critical DMG
Rusty -10% Critical DMG

Be careful when choosing a shotgun, since the ones with lower quality tend to have either a huge bullet spread, or almost no spread at all, both lowering the total damage dealt.
