The Shotgun is an unlockable weapon in Megabonk that fire a spread of bullets at an enemy, with each pellet doing damage. This weapon fires in a 2 round burst before resetting its cycle.

Unlocked by interacting with Tumbleweed in Desert Tier 2, with a 5% drop chance.

Strategy and Synergies

  • Tomes:
    • Size Tome - Increases the size shotgun blast, hitting more enemies.
    • Knockback Tome - Can greatly increase the already high knockback of this weapon.
  • Projectile Count is not a priority on this weapon, as it does NOT increase the number of shots you do each cycle, but instead adds a pellet to each shotgun blast. You will still only do 2 bursts before resetting its attack cycle.
