Have yet to find a shotgun?

[KnightFall1856 24]

Where have some of you found them? I NEED one. 

[leviski 2152]

I have one, Ill drop it in the middle of the NE airfield, Give you the server IP and say have at it.

 

(since items don't de-spawn until server restart.)

2) Go back to your cave

The house with the piano. It seems they have increased the weapon spawns on the shelf there (but decreased the food and soda spawning in the top room, though that is of little relevance to this thread). I just found my first shotgun there today in Svetloyarsk (which has several of that kind of houses. Found a speedloader for it in the second house).

Piano houses you say? Thanks !

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar 23]

Barns maybe? Thats the first place i would go looking for one.

the 3rd floor of the school building haves most time one of these weapons... you might find a gun, or a mosin or a shotgun in some rare occasions m4 but the range and accuracy of the shotgun is awful. someone couldnt shoot me from 10 meter distance although me and my friend were wiggling to our hearts content (means static position not moving) in order to get new followers for the holy order " tha wiggle "

I'm thinking that like me the OP is just curious and wants to try out the new gun for the first time. I have kept my Mosin as well, and just carry the shotgun in my hands, ready to drop when I am out of ammo. It doesn't help that atm you seemingly can't load slugs (the green ones), but only pellets (the red ones), which considerably minimises the ammo pool for this gun.

Lol I dropped a pristine M4 with all magpul parts and an acog for a shotgun because I just wanted to try it, I did kill one guy but he ran ito the room I was hiding in because I heard him coming and a second guy I winged at point blank and he combat logged. xD

 

But to add more to the thread I found mine in third floor of the school (twice as I saw a second again today) and a hacksaw was in th piano building too so I had some fun with the sawn off version till I was server wiped into sad times.

That's where I found the only one I've seen so far, it was on the top shelf of the corner shelves. It sort of blended in, I thought. I stared at it for half a second before it occurred to me that it was a shotty.

[KnightFall1856 24]

Imo I think the shotgun will be just fine, esp with slugs. Its all about strategy, same with the pistol. If youre in an urban area you  might have to burn a shell or two to force your opponent back into cover while you advance/reload. I cant wait :D

Keep it long barreled though its got some pretty good range and the ammo is more readily available than the mosin ammo. Mosin ammo has become very scarce.

I found one at Rifty.

 

Took a hacksaw to it as soon as I could. That thing is a beast! Sneak up on some one and just shoot thing in the air. I can promise you that they will be running away, with their pants now having a wet condition.

Piano house. I found 2 next to eachother at the new city. Dropped it immediately because the sound effect made me throw up in my mouth. ^_^

[GrappleX 354]

Found one in a TEC building a little while go. Might be worth a shot.

Yeah, I had a mosin and found a shotgun in the piano house, which was conveniently beside a hacksaw - I sawed off the shotgun and now it fits in my hunter backpack :) 

[KnightFall1856 24]

Been to several piano houses and then again after a server restart..no dice. Guess im just unlucky
