More actions
A JS-2000 shotgun, previously just shotgun, is a pump-action shotgun. The JS-2000 can be attached to the character's back for quick access and encumbrance reduction.
Usage
The JS-2000 uses shotgun shells as its ammunition, which fires 5 pellets in a spread pattern. These pellets have the potential to kill multiple targets in a single shot. Due to this spread, the JS-2000 shotgun will generally kill zombies in one or two hits, regardless of the player's skill. The closer the target is to the player, the more damage that will be inflicted. Shotgun shells aren't required to be in the secondary slot and can remain in the player's inventory. This makes the JS-2000 the ideal weapon for quickly killing a large group of zombies and blasting an opening to escape, as well as an excellent weapon for training the aiming skill, particularly at lower levels.

Reloading
JS-2000 shotguns can hold 6 shells, +1 after being racked. After each shot, the shotgun needs to be racked. This is done automatically, however if the player isn't given enough time to rack the shotgun, this will need to be done manually (default: X). Like other firearms, the shotgun can be reloaded with R. To avoid using the contextual menu in the inventory, the shotgun can be reloaded, racked or unloaded by holding R and selecting the desired action.
Drive-by shooting
All guns have the ability to shoot from vehicles. First press V, which opens the vehicle radial menu and open your window. Aim and fire. Drivers and passengers are all able to use this ability at the cost of reduced accuracy while the vehicle is moving. The driver cannot control the vehicle while aiming, it's recommended to cruise at a safe speed and make sure there are no obstacles that can cause a crash while you're driving and shooting.
Attachments
Attachments can be attached to shotguns with the use of a screwdriver. When you have the screwdriver and desired attachment, right-click the JS-2000 in your inventory, select Upgrade and select the attachment you want to use. There are four different types of attachments that can be added to shotguns.
Choke Tube - Full: Increases damage by 0.5. Decreases blast arc by 0.1.- Choke Tube - Improved: Decreases damage by 0.5. Increases blast arc by 0.05.
Ammo Straps: Is intended to increase shotgun reload speed, but does nothing currently.
Sling: Reduces the weight of the shotgun by 0.3.
Crafting
The JS-2000 Shotgun can be sawed, increasing its accuracy & spread at the cost of range. See Sawed-off JS-2000 Shotgun for details.

Condition
The JS-2000 shotgun is a firearm, therefore being influenced by the firearm skills: aiming and reloading. It has a maximum condition of 10 and will be damaged depending on the player's aiming skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (60 + aiming x 2).
Repairing
Repair of the JS-2000 shotgun requires a minimum of level two in aiming, and either another JS-2000, or a sawed-off JS-2000. The aiming skill determines how much will be repaired and the chance of being successful.
It should be noted that repairing the JS-2000 shotgun makes following repairs less likely to succeed and can, if repaired numerous times, cause reduced durability instead of increased.

Location
The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.
Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.

- The JS-2000 shotgun is most likely based on Remington Model 870 shotgun, which was developed in the 50s and is still used by law enforcement agencies, and the US military.
