</infobox> A Shotgun Shell Casing is a Materials item found exclusively in Episode 5: The Light At The End Of All Things in the Wintermute story.

Overview

It is produced whenever Shotgun Ammunition is fired from a Shotgun. Once the Shotgun is reloaded, a Shotgun Shell Casing is deposited onto the ground that can be picked up. The Shotgun can also be unloaded in the Backpack, depositing the Shotgun Shell Casing into the player's inventory.

Currently, there is no option to reuse the casing to produce more Slugs, since an Ammunition Work Bench is not present in Episode 5 (despite the description stating that it can be used to craft new ammo).
