The Combat Shotgun can fire four-round bursts, or in single-shot mode, and uses any of the five 12g ammo options, making it an excellent choice for beginners. It's an effective tool when things are up close and personal, but inferior compared to more advanced automatic shotgun designs, like the H&K CAWS and the Pancor Jackhammer.

This weapon can be crafted with only the first level of professional training, and requires no blueprint. Since it can be sold to multiple Merchants all over the map, it's a favored item for those players looking to make Caps via Barter runs during their early game.

Advantages
