The Shotgun is a Tools item found exclusively in Episode 5: The Light At The End Of All Things in the Wintermute story of The Long Dark.
Overview
A single-shot, break action shotgun, the Shotgun performs devastating blows to any animal it hits. The Shotgun fires 12GA Slugs instead of pellet based buckshot. This effectively turns it into a high powered Hunting Rifle (of which it shares similar holding and walking animations), albeit only being able to fire 1 round at a time before reloading. When reloading, a Shotgun Shell Casing is ejected and a fresh Slug is placed inside.
The only options present in the Backpack menu are to Unload or Drop the Shotgun. Slugs/Casings unloaded from the Backpack are place directly into the inventory. The Shotgun cannot be Harvested.
Location
It if found exclusively in the mission High Energy in Episode 5, during Part 2: Strange History.
There are 3 Shotguns found during the mission:
- The first is found in the Supply Room (opened with the Supply Room Key just before leaving the Suzuki Radio Telescope facility) along with 23 rounds of shotgun ammunition.
- A second is found inside a Weapon Locker at the 2nd Geothermal Station, along with Shotgun Ammunition.
- A third shotgun can be found in the 3rd Geothermal Station, inside another Weapon Locker.
The Shotgun disappears from Mackenzie's inventory during the mission Conflagration (Part 4: Terminus) of the Episode.
Use
As a shotgun, it has tight spread but very poor range. The shotgun fires slightly lower than it's iron sights when aiming; take this into account when aiming a shot.
It is advised to aim towards a Wolf and shoot at it while it is close. It is very likely to kill a Wolf if used this way with no risk to Will Mackenzie. If the shot does not kill it, the Wolf will be in a flee movement and not attack Will.
