in the humble words of Teddy Roosevelt
speak softly and carry a big ass
boomstick he said that right welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
best shotguns in video games
for this life we’ll be looking at
shotguns that have left a lasting
impression on gamers throughout history
from vintage side-scrollers to recent
classics and due to the mature nature of
many of these games were obliged to let
you know that things are about to get
kind of bloody so viewers consider
discretion hereby advised number 10 m9 t
close assault weapon system halo series
for the vast array of weaponry at ones
disposal sometimes simpler is just
better
something Master Chief knows very well
the halo shotgun quickly became a
preferred tool for vanquishing bows both
in the campaign as well as in its oft
celebration multiplayer while its
original version was arguably the
strongest boasting a devastating
combination of power range and a
whopping seventy two rounds of ammo he
will shock and remained a staple
throughout the series intent on settling
almost any dispute that happens in close
quarters spree number nine slosher
splatoon
it’s a literal turf war in this title
and the games version of a shotgun is
definitely unique Inklings battle using
weapons that resemble super soakers
paint brushes rollers or for this list a
bucket and while bringing a bucket to a
gunfight may seem unorthodox it operates
similarly to that of a conventional
shotgun while you might not consider it
to count think of it this way it has
short range a wide spread and does
devastating damage up close it’s totally
a shotgun this powerful close-range
weapon is capable of splatting enemies
in two hits but it’s also extremely
useful for flushing out hidden targets
since players can lob their shots over
walls by adjusting their trajectory
number eight akimbo winchester model
1887 call of duty modern warfare to me
online
Infinity Ward helped perfect the art of
the absurd by introducing a dual wield
option in multiplayer and nothing seems
more absurd than dual wielding lever
action shotguns heck even the t800 only
used one for crying out loud as silly as
it was Opie these weapons were a force
to be reckoned with with the online
community so much so that a patch was
later introduced to nerf the stopping
power amid numerous complaints by gamers
who were on the receiving end of their
fury but hey as Hannibal Smith said
overkill is underrated number 7 scrap
gun overwatch
ha road hog who looks like the lovechild
between a Mad Max villain and bebop from
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a
lumbering character who can deliver
massive amounts of damage the scrap gun
is Hogg’s signature weapon and it’s not
just a name when you see him reloading
you might notice how he’s basically just
cramming handfuls of garbage into the
breach of this bad boy
reinforcing the down-and-dirty nature of
his character of course this crap gun is
best when paired with Road hogs
signature hook ability as you can put
the reel in squishy players and then
unload in their startled faces road hog
totally ope OH
number six tactical shotgun left 4 dead
2 shotguns are never great against
armored enemies but you know who almost
never wears armor zombies while the
combat shotgun is definitely great for
clearing threats immediately in front of
you we prefer the tactical shotgun for
its better range and smaller spread
making it a bit more versatile
it’s high rate of fire combined with
enough damage to lay waste to multiple
enemies in a single shot can make wading
through swarms of infected seem like
your Moses parting the Red Sea the
damage modeling in left 4 dead 2 is
top-notch and we can’t think of any
better weapon to use if you want to
demonstrate it number 5 the SG o 4
shotgun Metal Slug series good
Thank You Neo Geo’s arcade phenomenon
first took the world by storm in 1996
with this side-scrolling
run-and-gun shooter this 12-gauge
shotgun delivers major hurt to anything
unlucky enough to get in its path enemy
infantry are knocked back by its blast
and it’s even capable of annihilating
vehicles with only a couple of rounds
it’s extreme power is hindered by sparse
amounts of ammo but when this weapon
does come out your enemies will wish
they had never rendered number 4 BK 12
combat shotgun fear fear is a funny
franchise as it offers you a terrifying
paranormal scenario and ruthless cunning
soldiers to fight but it also offers you
quite a lot of hardware to make you feel
very safe case in point this pump-action
shotgun is one of the deadliest
close-quarters weapons in the game
housing 12 shells per magazine and a
ridiculous 180 in reserve so with beers
signature bullet time mode you can watch
with grim satisfaction as the BK 12
shreds dudes to pieces in super slow go
shoot
number three bone duster Bulletstorm
this outstanding implement of murder is
the heavenly bone duster it is a
Christmas miracle gift from jolly ol
Saint Nick himself an over-the-top game
requires an over-the-top shotgun and
bone storm does not disappoint in this
regard this quad barreled 26th century
blunderbuss fires compressed air shells
that can quite literally tear enemies to
shreds when charged it’s powerful enough
to penetrate cover or vaporize those
hapless enough to be caught out in the
open making it both devastating and
surprisingly strategic at the same time
remember you get bonus points for
totally vaporizing your foes so leave
all mercy at home
number two flak cannon Unreal Tournament
series
another gun that’s definitely a shotgun
without necessarily being labeled as one
this bulky industrial looking thing is
probably the most notorious of all the
Unreal Tournament weapons punching out
soup cans sized shells of glowing
bouncing trample the flat cannon can
give enemies in a single shot its
primary fire launches clusters of molten
shrapnel that can reach more distant
players or ricochet around corners to
kill enemies behind cover running around
tight corridors with this sucker makes
you basically unstoppable most players
won’t even know what hit them until the
flack shards have kurute before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
number one super shocked doomed to hell
on earth
dooms original shotgun was a marble this
was one of the first person shooters you
know so the amount of raw power on
display along with the awesome looking
digitized animations of the rack slide
were just way too cool for any player to
forget so doom 2 took it a step further
why have one barrel when you can have
two basically the only new weapon in
Doom 2 2 / SOT gun was a room-clearing
machine plus it basically laid the
groundwork for every other video game
shotgun to come after it long reload
time between shots check enormous spread
check results that you cannot argue with
double check with our list what’s your
favorite video game shotgun for more
explosive top 10s published every day be
