Background
Edit
A tube-fed holdout shotgun; the weapon of choice of homeowners and police officers for CQC and self-defense due to its much shorter length, which increases its portability and maneuverability in tight spaces, but at the expense of some ammunition capacity, accuracy, and range.
A common and recognized firearm sold throughout the world.
TacticsEdit
The Last StandEdit
It fires a small spread of projectiles that altogether yield a large amount of damage, stopping most enemies with only one or two shots. However, it is slow to operate and reload and should be relegated to a backup role on later days. This is the third weapon the player can scavenge, but it can also be picked up after killing a fat biker zombie on the fifth night.
NotesEdit
- There is a bug where if the player starts reloading then pauses the game, the weapon will reload whilst the game is paused.
The Last Stand 2Edit
The same gun as seen in TLS1. It is a good firearm to give to a fellow survivor, as they can reload it quickly (only needs to load a single round to load all eight), unlike Jack (needs to load all eight individually), and is a good primary/secondary weapon until the player begins entering more heavily infested areas. It can be scavenged in Whistler's Grove.
The Last Stand: Union CityEdit
Again, the same weapon, only some of the pellets can actually "miss" and hit other enemies. A good primary/backup weapon against small or moderately-sized groups, but players must make sure to reload often.
How to ObtainEdit
- A Normal variant can be found in Room 203 of Glendale Apartments. (Canal Park)
- A Custom Stock variant can be found in the Union Security gun cage. (Newtown)
- A Normal variant can be found in the third house on Fifth Street. (Whistler's Forest)
ProsEdit
- High Total Damage
- High Knockback
- Can interrupt reload sequence to shoot/shove
- Can hit multiple targets
ConsEdit
- Slow ROF
- Reloads Slowly
- Inaccurate
- Low Ammo Cap
- Very Loud
The Last Stand: Dead ZoneEdit
Likely the first shotgun the player obtains, it is a large improvement over the handguns available before then. However, its poor stats in categories other than damage and knockback means it should be used as part of a team, where its wielder supports and is supported by the other survivors.
Recommended GearEdit
- Ammunition Mod increases the damage dealt.
- Ammunition Pouches/Bandoliers decreae the reloading time.
- Extended Mags allow it to lay down more fire before having to reload.
- Glasses increase the short effective range, with some variants increasing accuracy as well.
NotesEdit
- The Shotgun uses the same model as the Ambrose Shotgun, with the only difference being a different color on the wooden parts.
How to ObtainEdit
- It can be scavenged during Level 4+ missions.
- A Level 5 Long Barrel variant can be obtained by completing the Ivan The Trader task.
- Level 7 Extended Choked variants can be crafted using a Shotgun and 4 Machined Parts at a Level 3+ Weapons Bench for 4 after scavenging the required schematic.
- Level 9 Quiet Quick Load variants can be crafted using a Shotgun and 14 Machined Parts at a Level 3+ Weapons Bench for 5 after scavenging the required schematic.
- Level 11 Quiet Quick Action variants can be crafted using a Shotgun, 35 Machined Parts, 1 Fore-end, 1 Trigger System, 1 Barrel and 10 Rivets at a Level 3+ Weapons Bench for 19 after scavenging the required schematic. Also requires a Level 11+ Engineer.
