DOOM 3 Hints
Shotgun
Damage: up to 182 (14 per pellet times 13 pellets)
Clip/Max Ammo: 8 / 320
First Found: Mars City Underground
As in most games of this sort, a shotgun blast at close range is extremely powerful, but medium-range shots are significantly less powerful, and long-range shots are practically worthless. It's pretty much *the* best up-close weapon, being capable of taking down most lesser creatures in a single point-blank head shot, but remember that it can't hold more than 8 shells at a time and has a reload time that can seem like forever if you're forced to reload with a monster right in your face (fortunately, this is one weapon that can fire while in the middle of a reloading operation).
