How to get it
Combine the Broken Shotgun with a Repair Kit. Two routes:
- Keep both shotguns (recommended): in ch02, leave the Broken Shotgun in the Display Room statue to take the M37. In ch04, get the Model Shotgun (Main House Attic, metal shelves in the SE corner; reached from the 2F Kid's Room with the Snake Key and the red button under the lampshade), swap it into the statue for the Broken Shotgun and repair that.
- Repair it right away in ch03 with the first Repair Kit (under the Main House porch): you lose the M37 until you have the Model Shotgun.
Madhouse: the Model Shotgun is in the Processing Area Dissection Room from ch02.
Verdict
The best shotgun: 11% more damage per shot, more reach and more knockback. Worth the Repair Kit.
- Tighter spread, longer reach and more knockback than the M37.
- You reload every 2 shells: fire and reload with discipline.
- Pairs well with the P19 Machine Gun: burst and knockback next to sustained fire.
- Does +70% against Molded: a full blast to the head kills.
- IGN prefers it for the Barn Fat Molded and for Marguerite.
Per-pellet damage: unconfirmed (80 x 10 measured in play, 100 per hit in the game files). The total of 800 matches.
Nightmare: 200 Scrap (4,000,000 points). Ethan Must Die: green crates (2 stars).
