Shotgun

Type	Gun module (S)
Charge cost	5 per shot
Damage	6 per pellet, 7 pellets (15 pellets while gem high)
Japanese	ショットガン

Shotgun (ショットガン) is a weapon that blasts a wide spread of seven pellets downward for five charges. Its recoil is the strongest of any weapon: each blast pushes the player upward about as much as a jump.

Behavior

Each pellet deals 6 damage, so a close-range blast deals high total damage, but the spread and short pellet range weaken it at a distance. The heavy charge cost means a default charge meter only holds one shot. While gem high the blast more than doubles to 15 pellets.

Acquisition

The shotgun can be found in gun modules within safe zones.
