Description[]
"Master the use of Shotguns"
After reaching level 4 in Shooting, a survivor can choose this specialization to improve their effectiveness when using Shotguns.
Training[]
"Yeah, yeah, shotguns are a classic, but you've still got to use them to improve your Shotgun Specialization."
- Shotgun Specialization is trained by killing zombies with a shotgun. This skill's XP gain rate seems unaffected by traits and facility bonuses, unlike Shooting.
- Feats like Multi Kill and Headshot Streak DO NOT give bonus XP.
Notes[]
- According to the game file, each single kill gives 10 points, and Multi Kill and Headshot Streak each gives a bonus of 20 points.
Specialization Details[]
"As you increase your mastery of shotguns you'll be able to maximize the effectiveness of the weapon's kill zone." Notes
- Default (level 1) bonus to Kill Zone Size is +7%
- The "points" part is data taken from game file (presumably XP requirement). Needs more testing.
- For each level of Shotgun Specialization, the player is rewarded with 1 Fame.
| Level | Points | Description | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 200 |
Don't rack the slide when there's a shell in the chamber. It makes you look like a jackass. |
|
| 3 | 200 |
The trick is to not panic, just feed the shells in one by one. |
|
| 4 | 200 | Nothing like pulling the trigger and seeing a whole pack of zombies fall down. |
|
| 5 | 300 | Have you ever seen what double-aught buckshot can do to a zombie's head at close range? |
|
| 6 | 300 | In the old days they'd fill shotguns with nails, bits of glass, rocks, whatever they could get their hands on. Bet that'd ruin a zombie's day. |
|
| 7 | 300 | "12 gauge" is "I love you" in Survivor. |
