The Shotgun is a firearm featured in Escape Dead Island. It is a standard shotgun which allows for high short range damage and crowd control capabilities, with poor long range performance.
Location[]
Given by Xian Mei at the front of the GeoPharm Labs near the beginning of Mission 7 - Beauty and the Beast.
Usage[]
The shotgun is a good addition to Cliff Calo's arsenal as it gives the ability for high short range damage which is capable of one shot killing weaker, more numerous enemies such as Shamblers or Infected. With 8 shells in the magazine, the shotgun can kill several enemies before needing to reload, but when it does, each shell must be reloaded individually, which can cause an untimely death if swarmed whilst doing so. Regardless, the shotgun has good headshot damage and can kill zombies very quickly. Like any shotgun, it has very poor damage beyond point blank range, with a large weapon spread due to the buckshot and therefore deals negligible damage beyond a few meters distance. It is also very loud and so will attract any zombies in the vicinity when it is fired.
Notes[]
- The shotgun deals 24 damage on bodyshot and 36.06 damage on headshots. Shotguns experience a sharp damage drops off.
- The shotgun has a fire rate (including reloading full magazines) of 1.35 bullets per second yielding DPS of 32.4 and 48.7 respectively
