Functionality[]

The Heavy Shotgun is a semi-automatic weapon, with a low damage output and tight spread. It can pierce through multiple targets making it great for dealing with grouped up enemies. Its damage against structures is increased, hence its name.

• Damage falloff begins at 10 meters (2 tiles).
• Damage decreases down to 83% of its maximum at 15 meters (3 tiles).
• Damage steadily decreases down to 47% of its maximum at 25 meters (5 tiles).

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• When choosing between the Heavy Shotgun and the Tactical Shotgun, keep in mind that while the Heavy Shotgun may be more consistent due to its tighter pellet spread, it has a slower fire rate, and smaller magazine than the Tactical Shotgun.
• The Heavy Shotgun has a lower damage fall-off, so keeping your mid range against your opponent can be very beneficial.

Counters[]

• The Heavy Shotgun suffers at close range due to a poor hipfire spread. Keeping within close range when engaging with an opponent wielding a Heavy Shotgun can be very beneficial.

Weapon ID[]

The Heavy Shotgun is referred to as Shotgun Slug Fire in the files.

• Rare: WID_Shotgun_SlugFire_Athena_R
• Epic: WID_Shotgun_SlugFire_Athena_VR
