Battlefield 3 DLC Guide — Premium › Essentials › Close-Quarters Weapons

Shotguns

Nobody misses with a shotgun. Although these weapons lack the accuracy and finesse of the other weapons, their brutal power is a worthwhile trade-off. At close range, these weapons are unmatched, capable of killing with one shot. Like PDWs, shotguns are available to all classes.

SPAS-12

Ammo: 12 gauge

Rate of Fire: Pump-action

Magazine Capacity: 5

Range: Short

Fire Modes:

  • Single-shot

Unlock: These Hurt Too assignment

  • 20 kills with pistols
  • 20 kills with shotguns

This Italian-made iconic shotgun has seen great success since its introduction on the market during the 1980s. It’s become popular worldwide thanks to its capacity to handle a great variety of shell types. Its unique magazine design further simplifies the use of varied ammunition, allowing the SPAS-12 to remain in high regard with police and military units worldwide.
