Shorter range than the Chrome, but much greater spread as well as two more pellets in a shot. Like any Shotgun, it is great for taking out a horde at close range as well as clearing out infected indoors. Its relatively slow rate of fire means you can better control your ammo usage as well as fewer friendly fire incidents. Its wide spread and short effective range means that you'll have difficulty dealing damage beyond close range. Its slow rate of fire as well as having to reload each shot individually makes it harder to deal with a lot of infected or a fast-moving target. | Shorter range than the Chrome, but much greater spread as well as two more pellets in a shot.

The Chrome Shotgun is the other Tier 1 shotgun. It has the tightest spread of any shotgun, though it has less pellets per shot compared to the Pump Shotgun but more damage per pellet, which makes it deal less damage compared to the Pump Shotgun. The tight spread makes it much more effective against infected in mid-range. Other than that, it can do what any other shotgun does, clearing infected indoors, taking out hordes in chokepoints and cr0wning the Witch. | The Chrome Shotgun is the other Tier 1 shotgun.

The | The L4D2 version of the Auto Shotgun from the first game. It has a wider spread and more pellets per shot, but less damage per pellet than the Combat Shotgun. The Tactical Shotgun is possibly the best weapon for dealing with threats at extremely close range. It has a high rate of fire, good penetration as well as a large clip. While holding the mouse button let's you fire it semi-automatically, tapping it quickly actually makes it fire faster. Like any other Shotgun, it's good for taking down hordes and cr0wning witches, but the Tactical Shotgun does these close range tasks the best, though it suffers more at longer ranges compared to other Shotguns. Finally, it's incredibly effective against the Tank, so much that there's a 15% damage penalty for using the Tactical Shotgun against one. | ||

The Combat Shotgun is the Tier 2 variant of the Tactical Shotgun. It has a tighter spread and more damage per pellet, but less pellets per shot. Most of what has been said about the Tactical Shotgun applies here as well, though it's better at handling mid-range threats due to it's tighter spread. As a reminder, it shares the damage penalty against the Tank with the Tactical Shotgun. | |||
