Tactical Shotgun

The Tactical Shotgun is a Hardmode, post-Plantera ranged weapon. It is an upgraded version of the Shotgun, auto-firing six spread shots per bullet consumed (against the Shotgun's four), for a possible combined base damage of 174 per bullet spent (not including bullet damage stats which are then added). It has a 7.64% / (1/13 / ) chance to drop from Tactical Skeletons in the post-Plantera Dungeon.

Its best Modifier is Unreal.



Tips

 * The Tactical Shotgun's wide spread, high knockback, and numerous projectiles make it effective at crowd control.
 * Against single targets such as bosses, Chlorophyte Bullets negate the Tactical Shotgun's inaccuracy at long range.
 * It is unadvisable to use this weapon with Meteor Shots or any kind of piercing ammo against single targets. The bullets' piercing damage will cause the target to become invulnerable for a few frames, which means only one bullet will hit.
 * Crystal bullet is highly recommended for crowd control since it creates 3 shards with each 60% damage of it's origin, creating 18 shards per shot.

Trivia

 * Despite appearing to have a scope, the Tactical Shotgun has no inherent Scope-like zoom capability without the use of an added Scope accessory.
 * While the Tactical Shotgun is fully automatic, the Tactical Skeleton enemy that drops it seems to wield a significantly slower, semi-automatic version.
 * Despite being fully automatic, it still fires rather slowly.
 * The Tactical Shotgun appears to be a different gun than what the Tactical Skeleton uses.
