Shotgunner

Shotgunner is one of the several different types of marines. This marine costs 4 BP.
__TOC__
== Description ==
Fusion shotguns are the cheapest weapon. They fire a burst of explosive ammo, shredding enemy crowds (Planetary Campaign description).
* Strong vs. crowds
* Lacks accuracy against small targets.
Shotgunners possess characteristics similar to riflemen, but their weapon's unique feature is the ability to fire multiple hits in a cone-shaped spread. This makes shotgunners adept at confronting swarms of bugs. They can hold off additional bug streams compared to regular riflemen, with a shotgunner handling one stream and one equipped with Grenades potentially managing two or even three streams.
== Usage ==
Shotgunners are most effective in scenarios with limited BP where the budget doesn't allow for flamers, such as at the beginning of a map. Shotgunners outperform flamers against spitters. Their strategic advantage lies in their ability to handle concentrated bug formations effectively.
