Shotgun |
 |
The shotgun is my personal favorite. At close range, it can easily take a Splicer down with one shot. Its ammunition and upgrades are some of the best in the game, too, making the weapon a good choice in almost any scenario. Combined with an immobilizing plasmid, the Shotgun will get you through virtually every encounter Rapture can throw at you without much of a fight.
Your first opportunity to pick up this weapon will be from the floor of the dental ward in the Medical Pavilion.

| This basic buckshot for the shotgun provides a devastating blast at short range. Definitely an attention grabber. |

Exploding Buck |
| This powerful buckshot explodes on contact with a target, dealing extra damage and sometimes setting them on fire. A personal favorite. |

Upgrades
 |
Shotgun Rate of Fire |
| A steel gear accelerator increases the shotgun's rate of fire. An amazing upgrade that should be taken as soon as possible. |
 |
Shotgun Damage Increase |
| A gas-assisted firing mechanism increases the shotgun's damage. Definitely one of the best upgrade choices in the game. |
