Various shotgun configurations.

"There are few weapons that offer the comfort and familiarity of a shotgun. Built for close quarters combat, they provide immediate, violent conflict resolution."

— Grimoire Description

Shotguns are time-honored holdout weapons that are quite common and known for their reliability. Their sturdy frame can accommodate a variety of attachments and accessories.

Shotguns are only effective at close range with the exception of both The Chaperone and Universal Remote. At maximum range their damage output is 20% lower than at closer ranges.
