How to get it
Leon, ch09: Supply Box, on sale from the first one (Central Camp).
Verdict
Game8's and GameRant's best shotgun: semi-auto and tight. It is the shotgun you buy first, selling the MSBG 500.
- Game8 lists a base of 9 shells, but the Carbon Tube Extension gives 8 and 9 at levels 1 and 2: the real base is 7 (Gamer Guides).
- Game8 (Insanity) pairs it with the Cute Bear Charm.
- Before the Willis Tower, IGN raises shotgun and rifle power.
