The Shotgun is one of the most powerful weapons in The Suffering, but has become weaker in the sequel.
Carnate[]
The Suffering features a pump shotgun with a shortened barrel and a small grip, of the type that might see use in a prison or in other aspects of police work. When the weapon is out of shots, Torque will have to load more cartridges into the weapon, which will result in the longest reload time of any of the projectile weapons.
Recommended to use against Slayers, Mainliners, Burrowers,Inferna Girls, and Marksmen.

Note: The Shotgun appears much weaker in the sequel The Suffering: Ties that Bind
