Shotgun Overview
Mechanics Unlike most weapons ingame, shotguns fire a moderate number of pellets per shot instead of a single bullet. The base accuracy is the same across all models, with each pellet doing 134 damage within 10 meters. Pellet count is tiered, with semi/full auto having the least, standard pump action shotguns in the middle, and burst damage pump actions having the most of all.The NC's Jackhammer heavy weapon is an exception to the rule. It has a higher base accuracy while aiming down sights, and its pellets do 112 damage max instead.
