The Shotgun, also known as the break-action shotgun,[1] is a long gun-type weapon that appears in Alan Wake.
Description[]
The shotgun deals two to three times more damage per shot than the revolver and has a semi-decent range. It is the second strongest long gun type weapon, being only surpassed by the the Hunting rifle and surpassing the Pump action shotgun by a slight margin. However, it can only hold two rounds at a time, resulting in it needing to be constantly reloaded. Both of its barrels can be fired in quick succession. It is also possible to hit several enemies at once with a single shot (which awards the Two For the Price of One achievement). The Shotgun uses shotgun ammunition.
