Half-Life 2 Hints
Shotgun
Damage: 8 per pellet (7 pellets per blast with Primary Fire, 12 pellets per blast with Secondary Fire)
Clip / Reserve: 6 / 30
First Found: "We Don't Go to Ravenholm...", Section 3
This is everybody's favorite up-close weapon since it deals a huge amount of damage in one shot (especially if you use Secondary Fire to shoot two shells at once). You can use it on enemies who are closing fast, or you can make hit-and-run attacks on larger, slower-moving foes. Remember, though, that this is going to be your very last choice for any long-distance shooting.
