Recommended Pump Shotgun Usage
When the Enemy is Close
Shamblers and Bloaters are formidable enemies with high durability and damage. Defeat them using the Pump Shotgun, but remember not to enter the range of their attacks.
Recommended Pump Shotgun Upgrades
Increase Fire Rate
The Pump Shotgun has a slight delay between shots. Increasing its fire rate allows you to shoot the next round faster. It also makes it easier to fight when you miss a shot or when surrounded by multiple enemies.
Usable Even Without Upgrades
The Pump Shotgun already has sufficient firepower without upgrades. Given the limited Parts in the story, it's advisable to prioritize upgrades for other weapons first.
