How strong is the Shotgun in Stillskin Forest?
The Shotgun fires six pellets of 18 damage each (108 if all hit), enough to drop a Walker in one blast at close range. It holds six Shells, takes 2.4 seconds to reload, reaches 70 studs, and is the loudest weapon in the game: every shot is heard 120 studs away.

Overview
Devastating up close. The spread is wide, so damage falls off quickly with distance, and headshots multiply each pellet by 1.4 rather than doubling. Shotgun hits always stagger an infected.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strengths: highest burst damage; staggers; can stop a Brute charge.
- Weaknesses: loudest weapon (120-stud noise), short range, slow reload, lowest durability of any weapon (70).
