Favorite videogame shotgun

[Cat tit bingo]

My personal favorite is the akimbo sawedoff double barreled shotguns you reload like a terminator from marathon 2 and 3, there's just such a beautiful rythem when you fire those guns

It's been so long since I've played Destiny 2. I can't remember if there was a shotgun I liked. I love anything that will get pve guys off my ass. I run more sniper/automatics. I loved DARCI, and Sweet Business. When the Mercury DLC dropped I got a automatic sniper rifle that was pretty chill.

Team Fortress 2.
The game is designed around shotguns, so it's always fun to use them.

My favs in rough order

Prodeus- Quad barrel shotgun
Unreal series- Flak Cannon
FEAR- VK-12
Shadow Warrior- Quad barrel riot gun
Doom II- Super shotgun
Blood- Double Barrel
Ion Fury- Disperser (if you count that it also fires grenades too)

FEAR- VK-12

I always forget about FEARs shotgun, which is a shame cause it so fucking satisfying

Does the flak cannon from UT99 count? That or the TF2 engineer shotgun.

That bad boy - fallout one you could flat back a super mutant with a short burst to the nutsack.

You really do not need more than this.

Despite having a genuinely retarded design (The Drum magazine's placement is nonsensical), the Combat Shotgun from Fallout 3 was fun as hell to use in the cramped quarters of the DC subway and ruined buildings against ghouls and super mutants.

I enjoy the shotguns in Starfield because they have this odd sound effect which kinda gives you the impression you're splattering something squishy rather than firing a firearm. Also I got a double-barrel that can shoot four rounds for some reason.

I don't play many games with guns. I like Richard's shotgun in the Resident Evil remake. I feel sorry for him. He dies in such awful ways.

I also like the shotgun in Zero Tolerance because when I was a kid I liked the voice saying "Shotgun collected".

Floor secure. Proceed to next level.

The shotguns in RDR2 because they're closer to shotguns irl in terms of range and don't have cartoonish damage drop off.

But otherwise for shotguns I like in other games, I like the TF2 shotguns and the ones in Blood.

 

[RollerGator]

The one from Gears of War

 

[Skitarii]

 

[Two Dollars]

Super Mario 64.

 

[The Last Stand]

Akimbo Model 1887 from MW2, pre-patch.

Basically like the Terminator on the motorcycle.
