'''Shotgun''' (ショットガン) is a weapon that blasts a wide spread of seven pellets downward for five [[Charge|charges]]. Its recoil is by far the strongest of any weapon each blast kicks the player upward about as much as a jump, making it as much a movement tool as a gun.

Each pellet deals 6 damage, so a point-blank blast is devastating, but the spread and short pellet range make it weak at a distance. The heavy charge cost means a default battery only holds one shot; shotgun runs want [[Battery|batteries]] and [[Car Battery|car batteries]]. While [[Gem High|gem high]] the blast more than doubles to 15 pellets.
