It is VERY heavy. Before you take it to your gallery, you will need to workout a bit.

—Weapon description in the Gallery

The Heavy Shotgun is a Primary weapon released in the 9.0.0 Christmas update.

Description[]

It is a dark gray shotgun that shoots a spread of bullets at a high fire rate. It has average damage, a high fire rate, decent capacity, has a good bullet dispersion, decent mobility, and a slow reload.

Appearance[]

Like its real life version, the Heavy Shotgun has a gunmetal body, barrel, grip, stock, carry handle, muzzle, and magazine.

Performance[]

The Heavy Shotgun shoots a spread of bullets with instant bullet travel time and a high fire rate. It is very powerful and best effective at close range. Firing in short bursts can save the player a lot of ammunition. The range is actually very good, but the damage isn't. It is 3-5 shot on the body depending on range, and 2-3 shot on the head.

When reloading, the player takes out the clip of bullets from the weapon's back and is replaced by another. It has no delay mechanics.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Since this is a shotgun, use this at close range.
  • The weapon has low mobility so it's recommended to switch to a different weapon while moving.
  • Useful for crowd control if paired with Singular Grenade.
  • Aim for the head to maximize damage.
  • You can wear speed-up hats, such as Burning Tiara, to greatly increase your offensive potential.
  • Play on small maps e.g. Pool Party, where this weapon works best.
  • In close ranges, it is possible for one to hold and fire, but never do this before you get near the opponent, as most of the shots wouldn't reach the opponent.
  • Pair this with a triple laser spam set, so you can easily finish off players who you have hit with a laser without spamming your lasers again.
  • Have a good aim, it is easy to miss shots with this weapon, since the bullet range is slightly farther than other shotguns.
  • Stay mobile while wielding it.
  • This weapon is a hard counter against Melee users.
  • Pick off users at a close range.
  • Try to aim for the head.

Counters[]

  • Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
  • Try outmaneuvering the enemy by strafing around while firing.
  • Area damage weapons can make short work on its users.
  • Attack from behind, so he will have a hard time to react.
  • Luring the user into open areas where this weapon is useless gives you advantage.
  • As this gun has low capacity, try to waste your opponent's ammo by simply running around and jumping, preferably while using the Ninja Tabi (PG3D) or Berserk Boots.

Trivia[]

  • It is based on the Pancor Jackhammer, a prototype Bullpup automatic shotgun designed in 1984.
  • It was removed including its upgrades in the 11.4.0 update for unknown reasons.
  • This weapon and its upgrades appear to be reskinned as a Pixel Gun, which seems to fire one bullet at a time, instead of a spraying pattern. This weapon on the user's screen still shoots the spraying pattern.
  • Its reskinned (yet less powerful) counterpart is the Rhino, introduced in 14.0.0 update.
  • Despite it being a "Heavy" shotgun (especially with what was said in the Gallery), it has a mobility of 65, which is basically an average mobility. There are weapons with a mobility of 50 and look less heavy than this weapon, like the Pixel Gun.
  • Its reskinned variant the Rhino, has a higher mobility as it isn't as "Heavy"
  • Its Gallery description is accurate to its real life counter part saying that it is very heavy even though its in game mobility says otherwise.
  • Its name is a reference to how the real Pancor Jackhammer was very heavy, being about 17 pounds.
