Tips

 * Shotgun is the spread-based weapon as it shoots spray of 5 projectiles.
 * Although, it's actually effective in combat due to its decent hitbox and its damage multiplying depending on number of pellet that hit your target.
 * It still does not synergize as well as Bazooka, Flamethrower, and Impulse Gun when it comes to combining with Mouse Gun.
 * Shotgun tend to be more useful against giant players due to its projectiles being able to stack more easily.
 * It can also potentially be used against jetpacks.
