How to get it
3-3, Drilling Facilities: at the second floodgate (the two-switch one), run down the west pier to the end: silver briefcase by a small cabin. Take it before you move on by boat; otherwise it enters the shop at 4-1 (₦4,000).
Verdict
The best stopping power against Big Man, Giant and Gatling Majini; a good main shotgun from 3-3 if you did not commit to the Ithaca.
Shop: ₦25,000 of upgrades at 3-3; then one firepower step per chapter up to 900 (₦12,000) at 6-2.
- Its wide spread lowers your accuracy against single targets.
- Most of 3-3 is on a boat, where shotguns are of little use; bring a machine gun or rifle.
- Lost in Nightmares: it can be the weapon Jill picks up in the dining hall (8 shells).
- Desperate Escape: at least one always appears (8 shells); a fixed one sits in the locker of the building under the Rocket Launcher platform in the turret area. On Professional, get the shotgun in the first section or restart.
