Shotguns — Far Cry 5 eGuide | Prima Games eGuides

Shotguns are extremely powerful but only at short range. The farther the distance from your target, the weaker your bullet spread is, making them ineffective at greater distances. However, at point-blank range, it’s absolutely devastating. One of their drawbacks is also long weapon reload time, as you can load only one shell at a time in most shotguns. If you need to reload a shotgun, it’s best to switch to another weapon, unless you’re in a safe area. Shotguns have two different ammo types: slugs, which help penetrate armored foes, and incendiary ammo, which lights the target and area on fire. As mentioned previously, both Weapons Pro and Tactical Ammo Bag are great perks to pick up if you favor shotguns.
