Quake 4 Hints

Shotgun

  • Damage: 112 (14 per pellet times 8 pellets)
    Clip/Max Ammo: 8 / 50 (clip size is upgraded to 10 in "Operation: Last Hope")
    First Found: Hangar Perimeter

    This is the usual sort of single-barrel shotgun -- a close-up powerhouse that is especially useful for point-blank head shots. It's also fairly good at medium range, not being quite as "scattery" as the shotguns in many other shooters.
