The Riot Shotgun is a handheld weapon added as part of the Saints and Sinners update.

Function

The Riot Shotgun is a short-range weapon that fires eight pellets from a single Shotgun Shell or Shotgun Rubber Shell, or one bullet from a Explosive Slug. As for every other firearm, used ammunition cannot be recovered. Shotgun Shells deal larger amounts of damage at close range, where more pellets may hit.

It should be noted that the Riot Shotgun has a wide spread even for skilled users. Therefore, in the hands of the unskilled, the spread greatly reduces the weapon's utility outside of point-blank range.

Comparison

The Boom Stick and the Autoshotgun use the same types of ammunition as the Riot Shotgun.

  • The Riot Shotgun shoots only once per second and can shoot 6 times without reloading.
  • The Boom Stick can potentially fire 10 shells per second but needs to be loaded with 2 shells 5 times per second (use the number hotkeys to reload).
  • The Autoshotgun shoots almost 2 times per second, has high ammo capacity and stores mixed ammo, but at the cost of not fitting in standard inventory slots – instead it must be equipped on the Toolbelt slot, or carried in the character's hands.

Usage

The Riot Shotgun is held with both hands and must be loaded with Shotgun Shells or Explosive Slugs or Shotgun Rubber Shells to be used. As with all weapons and tools, using it is done by holding the Right Mouse Right-click to take aim, then by Left Mouse Left-clicking to shoot/use.
