==Combat== In close combat situations, the {{PAGENAME}} is tremendously powerful and deals a high amount of damage to enemies. It has a slight spread of the shot which allows the [[Weapon]] to hit multiple targets at once; a [[Shotgun Choke|shotgun choke]] may be attached to tighten the buckshot spread, reducing spray but concentrating the damage per shell. Alternatively, a [[Sawed-Off Shotgun Barrel|sawed-off shotgun barrel]] may be used instead to achieve the opposite effect, increasing spray to hit more targets; the [[Shotgun Duckbill|duck bill]] attachment changes the spread to a more horizontal pattern. The damage is calculated if all the 8 pellets hit. A major drawback for the shotgun is the low ammo capacity, particularly due to its use for close range combat. Players should be mindful of the remaining ammo in the tube, as while the shotgun is powerful, players can be caught off-guard while clearing buildings and tight spaces. As well, using buckshot to hunt animals may damage the carcass, diminishing the amount of resources harvested from the animal. Players that intend to use shotguns as their primary weapon of choice should invest their skill points in the [[Strength]] attribute and upgrade the [[Boomstick]] perk. The [[Perk Books#Shotgun Messiah|Shotgun Messiah]] books will also benefit shotgun users.
