Shotgun

* Shotgun (Pathologic 2)
* Sawn-Off Shotgun (Pathologic)

The **Shotgun** is a ranged Weapon in *Pathologic 2*. It shoots Shotgun Ammo, and can hold up to 2 shots. While it becomes almost useless at medium to long range, it is devastating at close distances, and excels indoors. Because of its small ammo capacity, it is not recommended for use against multiple opponents at once. As with all other firearms, the Shotgun's pellet spread tightens when aimed down sights.

The Shotgun is first available via Bad Grief starting on **Day 4** for 11780 money (Grief's Shotgun will have an initial durability of ~70%). As the game progresses, Grief's asking price will increases until it plateaus for 15200 money on **Day 9**.

The Haruspex can also receive a Shotgun as a reward from Bad Grief for killing Barley the Barber and his men as part of a quest available as of 07:30 on **Day 8**, after Bad Grief relocates to the Cathedral. Should he not want to get involved, the Haruspex can also purchase a shotgun from Barley instead (along with all other goods previously sold by Grief).

Shotguns can be looted from infected districts. They are found inside houses and are stored in containers. They rarely spawn and will have low durability.

Shotguns can be sold to Bad Grief/Barley and traded to Militia.

The Shotgun fires 5 pellets within each round: If all 5 connect, they collectively deal 110 damage per bodyshot and 165 damage per headshot. Each shot decreases durability by 5%. The chance of jamming is (1 - durability)2.

## Notes

* It is likely that the Shotgun's real life likeness comes from a Sawn-off variant of the TOZ 34 hunting shotgun.
* Shotguns take up 2x4 inventory slots. They do not stack.

## Notes

* Despite the fact that a sawed-off shotgun still possesses the same amount of devastating knock-back and force of a regular shotgun, The Bachelor and the Haruspex carry the shotgun in only one hand (which is extremely ill-advised in real life).
* There is a visual bug which, while at a standstill, causes the player model's left index-finger to appear at the bottom left of the screen when the Shotgun is raised.
* Whilst its *Pathologic 2* counterpart possesses a more distinct look and counterpart, the *Pathologic* Sawn-off Shotgun is a more nondescript sawn-off hunting rifle, as its description entails. Its Russian name, *самопал* roughly translates to *"self-made"* (Sawn-off).
