Shotguns in The Ascent is a Weapon category that is used to inflict damage against hostile characters. It is one of five categories, Sidearms, Shotguns, Machineguns, Precision Weapons, and Excessive Weapons. Shotgun weapons are powerful short range weapons that usually have a slower firing rate compared to a machinegun, but are ideal for close range combat. Shotgun weapons fire a cluster of shots in a fan-spread pattern. There appears to also be damage falloff as distance to target increases. These weapons can beat out a rifle with a good shot and right range.
In The Ascent, there are various types of firearm weapons, each consisting of various stats, bonuses, effects, and types of attacks such as Ballistic, Digital, Energy, and more. Weapons are usually obtained as rewards from completing Missions, purchased from Merchants, looted inside chests or crates from various Locations, and are dropped by Enemies or Bosses. This page will indicate a list of all the Shotgun weapons in The Ascent which will also include its description and values. You can find detailed information on its location and properties on each individual page linked below.

Weapon Description |
Riot GunBallistic shotgun. |
1,099 | A no-nonsense ten-gauge shotgun is always nice to keep in handy for close encounters. Jam it in under someone's chin and blast away to much guaranteed satisfaction. |
ES4 EraserEnergy shotgun. |
1,399 | Functions like a shotgun, but within the stink of cordite and constant need for cleaning. The Eraser energy shotgun has a good spread vs range ratio, and will serve you well when things get close and personal. |
The FistBallistic shotgun. |
699 | CyberSec Mega weapon smith truly went ballistic with this five-barreled multi-shotgun. If this won't solve your problems, nothing will. Loved by weapon fetishists all over Veles. |
ScorcherModified shotgun. |
300 | EightCo fast found a niche market with their Scorcher shotgun, which will deal devastating and firey damage to anyone foolish enough to not recognize this terrible contraption for what it is. |
BitsplitDigital shotgun. |
??? | If you're pure organic, you've got nothing to fear from this shotgun. Fortunately for you, very few people are. A few ones and zeros will never quite pack the same punch against flesh as a good chunk of metal, but a completely digitalized weapon is both environmentally friendly and the perfect tool for taking out robots. |
