GNASHER SHOTGUN DESCRIPTION The premiere close-range weapon, the Shotgun is ideal for blasting apart Locust in your face. The Shotgun is particularly strong against smaller Locust, such as Wretches and Tickers. It's often best to use the Shotgun while you're mobile, not up behind cover. Blindfired over cover, the Shotgun is mildly useful against Locust closing on your position. But it's difficult or impossible to hit targets at a distance with an accuracy. CLOSE RANGE The Shotgun is ideal. It can inflict grievous wounds up close. It's usually best to fire the Shotgun on the move, as you don't need precise accuracy with the Shotgun's cone-like spread. MEDIUM RANGE At medium range, it's better than you might expect. The only real issue is that firing it from the hip exposes you to considerable danger in most fights, especially on higher difficulty levels. You can blindfire over or around cover even at medium range and deal decent damage to targets in the open. This is especially true for targets moving toward you. Trying to hit enemies farther away or behind cover isn't worth your time. LONG RANGE The Shotgun is exceedingly poor at long range; don't use the Shotgun in these situations. COVER The Shotgun isn't great against targets behind cover, but it can be good if you're moving up to close range. Cover does little good against the Shotgun's spread at fairly close range. Again, evaluate the situation carefully before you adventure. You can get into trouble moving up on enemy positions if reinforcements arrive midway through the battle.
