We have implemented a shotgun in your pistol so that you could shoot from the shotgun while shooting from the pistol. Cool, ya? (we haven't installed a display yet, tho)

—Weapon's description in Gallery

The Shotgun Pistol is a Backup weapon introduced in the 10.1.0 update.

Description[]

It is a blue pistol that shoots multiple bullets with a spread at once just like any other shotgun. It does decent damage, has a high rate of fire (for a shotgun), a fairly sized magazine and high mobility. This weapon is also very effective in close range, so a close range map is a good idea for this weapon. Part of a War Hammer gimmick pack for the iconic skull.

Appearance[]

It appears to be a blue pistol with a yellow barrel and an extremely bulky ammo drum. There is a large yellow skull with a stitched face in the front of the gun's ammo clip, with tiny white skulls on both sides of the gun. The skulls look like the ones from the Dual Machine Guns.

Performance[]

Since it is a pistol, the player holds this pistol from their right hand. Since it is a shotgun at the same time, it shoots multiple bullets at once with a spread. The bullets are regular bullets that have instant bullet travel time. It has surprisingly decent range and damage compared to the majority of other shotguns. When shooting, the drum magazine of the weapon turns 360 degrees once.

When reloading, the large magazine from the bottom is taken out and is replaced by a spare magazine. It has no delay mechanics whatsoever.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Get close to your opponent any chance you get. A few well-placed shots at near point-blank range can deal a large amount of damage, especially with a headshot.
  • Try avoiding using this weapon in longer-ranged battles, as it will deal little damage to enemy players because of it is close range.
  • The Shotgun Pistol has a fast reloading speed, meaning you can get almost right back into battle after.
  • It is useful for zooming around and/or sneaking up on lone players.
  • This weapon can be used against melee users (due to the melee weapon's inferior range compared to any ranged weapons).
  • This weapon can be very effective at charging into and taking out entire teams if used effectively due to its high mobility and how easy it its to hit targets at its max range while zooming around bullets.
  • Equip the Cape Editor, Burning Tiara, and Halloween Mask for maximum performance with this weapon.

Counters[]

  • Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
  • Stay alert and make sure that no users of this weapon are planning to sneak up behind you and attack.
  • Use other high damaging weapons such as the Laser Minigun as it is excellent in slaughtering its users.
