Shotgun ranged

The Shotgun is the loudest decision in the game — it clears a room and announces it to the whole map.

Weapon Overview

A devastating short-range firearm that can drop multiple zombies per shot and is forgiving of low Aiming.

Durability

Durable mechanically; ammunition is the constraint.

Damage

Extremely high at close range, with the spread hitting multiple targets at once.

Noise

The highest in the game. A shotgun blast can pull zombies from a vast radius.

Endurance Cost

Low physical cost; catastrophic noise cost.

Multi-Target Potential

Excellent — the spread is genuine crowd-clearing power.

Repairability

The weapon lasts; shells are scarce and precious.

Skill Synergies

Best Situations

Last-ditch defence of a base, breaking out of a surround when you have already accepted the noise.

Worst Situations

Anywhere you do not want a horde. The shotgun does not solve a zombie problem so much as relocate the entire county to you.
