Shotgun (Dead Rising 2)

	Shotgun (Dead Rising 2) Type Firearm Uses 20 (Dead Rising 2) 15 (Case West) Strength Great Location See article Fits in Inventory Yes

The shotgun is a weapon in Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Dead Rising 2: Case West, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.

This weapon fires a spray cone of lead pellets, making it lethal at close-quarters, but pitiful at long range. It can be combined with a pitchfork to create the Boomstick in Case Zero and Dead Rising 2.^[1]

It is not recommended that players give the survivors shotguns, as more often than not, the friendly AI will end up shooting Chuck as well if he ends up in their line of fire. It is a good firearm against psychopaths.^[1]

The shotgun can be found on zombified security guards, particularly in the arena, as well as on the Silver Strip and certain areas of Fortune Park. There is also a couple of shotguns found in the gun store on the second floor of the Palisades Mall.^[1]
