Are you looking to get the Shotgun in Lethal Company? Here’s how to acquire the best and rarest weapon in the game. This gun was introduced in the latest update and is extremely tricky to find. However, if you can get your hands on it, you’ll be able to one-shot most creatures in the game. While it comes with limited ammo, it’s a great get-out-of-jail card. Additionally, it’s immensely satisfying to one-shot an annoying Thumper or Spider, so it’s well worth it. Let’s go through everything you need to know about this weapon.
How to get the Shotgun in Lethal Company
The only way to get the Shotgun in Lethal Company is by killing a Nutcracker. These spawn more commonly in higher-difficulty moons like Rend, Dine, and Titan. The best way to kill Nutcrackers in Lethal Company is by having a player tase them with the Stun Gun while another hits them with the Shovel.
Once they die, you can pick up the Shotgun from their hands. Also, make sure to check around their body and pick up the Shotgun ammo too. While the Shotgun may come loaded, there will always be two shells on the ground next to it.
Unfortunately, you can’t buy the Shotgun from the shop or get it in any other way. Similarly, you also can’t buy ammo. The only way to get more shotgun shells is by killing more Nutcrackers. If you were skilled or lucky enough to kill one of them and managed to acquire this valuable weapon, let’s see how to use it.
How to use the Shotgun
The Shotgun is the only Ranged weapon in Lethal Company that does damage. To use it, make sure it’s loaded and simply press left-click to shoot. As you can guess, it works better in close range. If you can get close, it will one-shot any enemies that can be killed.
Keep in mind that not all enemies can be killed in Lethal Company. You can kill the following enemies with the Shotgun:
- Loot Bugs
- Thumpers
- Spiders
- Nutcrackers (great way to get more ammo)
- Masked Enemies
- Snare Fleas
- Baboon Hawks
- Eyeless Dogs
If you shoot at any enemy that’s not on the list above, you will do no damage and probably end up dying because you got too close. As for the enemies on the list, I recommend using the shotgun only when they come too close. Don’t chase after them unless you’re extremely confident in your skills and aim.
To wrap up this guide, you can get the Shotgun in Lethal Company by killing Nutcrackers. You can’t buy it from the shop, and the only way to get more ammo is by killing more Nutcrackers. On the bright side, you can use the Shotgun to kill various enemies in the game, with the most satisfying one to kill being the Thumper.
