Appearance

Tips & tricks

  • The only reliable way to obtain shotgun ammo box is through the ammo box. However, it's advised to buy ammo for it sparingly, as it costs to craft a single box of shotgun ammo.

  • You can obtain shotgun ammo through the Ammo Furnace, so if you have the Oil Drill, you can get a lot of ammunition. However, less people know that Biofuel also works, therefore you can farm tactical shotgun ammo by creating a lot of biofuel.

  • When shooting with the Tactical Shotgun, multiple pellets shoot out instead of one, but it only takes up 1 ammo. Therefore, it is a great gun to loot the Cultist Stronghold, as the Cultists spawn in hordes.
