Double barrel shotgun

The double barrel shotgun, also known simply as the double barrel, is a purchasable in Factions MP, released in the Survivalist Weapons Bundle, and a long gun in The Last of Us Part II. It also appears in The Last of Us: American Dreams.
== Factions MP ==
The double barrel is a rugged weapon, evident in how the stock of the gun has been wrapped up in what looks like electrical tape. When using it, the player's Factions MP character holds the double barrel is unique. When aiming, the player will bring up their left (or right if shoulder switching) arm and rest the barrel of the weapon on it.
The double barrel's biggest advantage is its low cost; It only takes up one loadout point as a purchasable gun and costs a mere 240 parts to equip in a match. It deals 60 damage per shot at point blank or very close range; at its maximum range it deals only 20 damage per shot. These characteristics make it very similar to the Shorty, which also requires one loadout point by default, takes two shots to down targets, and holds two shells. It has marginally faster reloading speed than the Shorty, but the latter can be upgraded to have a faster reload speed and can also be suppressed.
One key difference between the two is that using the Shorty takes up the pistol slot, while the Double Barrel is a long gun. As such, using the double barrel instead of the Shorty frees up the pistol slot. This enables players to make their class more versatile rather than being restricted to a closeup secondary weapon.
Despite these perks, this gun's primary weakness is its slow fire rate. Compared to the shotgun and tactical shotgun, it has a significantly slower rate of fire, which can make follow-up shots difficult.
Due to its high damage but slow fire rate, the double barrel pairs well with high damage weapons, such as the bow, frontier rifle or hunting rifle. A shot with the double barrel followed by a shot from these guarantees a quick down at close ranges. A 2x4 is also a good combination with this gun for similar reasons.
== The Last of Us Part II ==
The double barrel is found by Abby in Seattle while searching for Owen Moore. She retrieves it from a China store if the player takes the optional path to enter the store through its roof shortly after separating from Manny Alvarez."Seattle Day 1" Like the Factions MP version, the double barrel holds two rounds and is a one-hit kill to most enemies at close range. It has an over/under barrel design. Abby also uses a different variation when in Santa Barbara, which has a side-by-side design, which functions identically and keeps any previous upgrades."Santa Barbara"
The following is a list of upgrades available for the double barrel shotgun at workbenches, and the parts required to upgrade each:
Upgrade 	Description 	Effect 	
Stability 	"Add weight to the stock to decrease weapon sway."Decreases weapon sway, which increases accuracy indirectly.	-35% Recoil +50% Stability	30
Reload Speed	"Store shotgun shells in bullet loops on the stock to increase reload speed."Increases reload speed. 	+35% Reload Speed 	40
Damage 	"Replace the barrel to fire more powerful shots."Increases weapon damage per shot. 	+30% Damage 	60
Further, if the player chooses to upgrade Abby's supplement trees, they can craft incendiary shells to use in the gun. The shells are especially useful against infected.
