More importantly, it is a good way to disable weak points on tougher enemies such as Arachnotrons, Mancubi, and Revenants at close range.Īlternatively, Full Auto transforms the weapon from a pump-action shotgun into a fully-automatic one, giving it a tighter spread and allowing it to shred through weaker enemies or deal high damage to a single tough enemy quickly.
Its attachments, however, are what makes it relevant throughout the game, and these are the Sticky Bomb and the Full Auto mode.Īs the name implies, the Sticky Bomb can stick to surfaces or to demons before detonating, and it makes the Combat Shotgun much more efficient at dispatching groups of low-ranking demons. As such, it is mainly useful for eliminating lone fodder demons or priming them for a Glory Kill to recover health or charge your Blood Punch. This is the gun you begin the game with, and it is the weakest weapon in the game, as its default firing mode’s damage output is nothing to write home about.
First up, we have none other than Doom’s staple Combat Shotgun.
