What the shotgun lacks in range, it makes up for in absolute devastation. Available to
Rilfeman Class and the Engineer Class, the shotgun is the ultimate in short range weapon. Capable of killing most with a single shot and with a capacity that ensures you wont run out mid battle.
The shotgun in Killzone 2 is bested used in maps that are indoors, for example Radec Academy. It severly lacks range, so shouldnt be used anywhere with large open spaces as even a basic rifle will turn you inside out before you enter range. Ensure to reload after each encounter.
