This article describes the Pixel Gun 3D weapon. If you're looking for the same weapon in Pixel Gun World, see Simple Shotgun.

Perfect in its simplicity. The shotgun is very powerful in close-quarter fighting, and pellet will pierce through the pixels of your enemy easily.

—Weapon's description in Gallery

The Shotgun, formerly called the "Simple Shotgun", is a default Primary weapon introduced in the 2.5.0 update.

Description[]

It is a shotgun that shoots a spread of bullets. It has bad accuracy and deals a good amount of damage. Its fire rate is fairly high for a shotgun, but its mobility is very low.

Appearance[]

The Shotgun appears to be an Akkar Churchill SBS, judging by the size of the weapon. The barrel and base are made of silver-white metal, probably steel or aluminum. There is a shell ejection port on the right side, launching shells whenever the user reloads or shoots.. A small sight is at the end of the barrel but cannot be used. It does area damage (its pellets spread over a rather wide area). The sliding handle (or the pump) appears on a tube below the barrel. It seems to be some type of wood.

Performance[]

This weapon, being a simple shotgun, shoots multiple bullets at once with a spread. These bullets have instant bullet travel time. It does surprisingly decent damage, even in high levels, especially if powerful Modules are applied.

When reloading, there is a pumping animation on this weapon, where the player inserts bullets inside the shotgun. It has no delay mechanics.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Use in close quarters combat and aim for the head.
  • Switch to a different weapon if enemies get close before the reload is done, as it takes a while to reload.
  • Use it in maps where there are many obstacles. This weapon's bullets will hit enemies that won't be able to escape easily.
  • Do not hold the fire button with the shotgun unless at near point-blank range. Waiting a second before shooting again restores the weapon to first-shot accuracy.

Counters[]

  • Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
  • Ambush user(s) with explosives.

Recommended Maps[]

Equipment Setups[]

Any good sniper to pick off enemies from a distance.

Trivia[]

  • It resembles both the Ithaca Stakeout shotgun and the Maverick 88 shotgun.
  • In very old versions of the game, the player would hold this weapon with just one hand and it would just shoot only one bullet.
  • Despite having only a magazine size of 7, the player loads 8 shells into the gun.
  • The reload animation back then involved inserting all of the shotgun shells inside the ejection port of the shotgun, which is very unrealistic for a shotgun.
  • After a shot is fired, the player pumps the gun, but if you reload, after the animation, the player pumps the gun again, despite a shell already pumped into the chamber
