Effective use also requires more fore-thought than in previous entries, as almost every demon has a quick but deadly melee attack. This makes it a useful weapon for clearing out groups of fodder demons, or taking down particularly tanky heavy demons.ĭespite this, the Super Shotgun is useless at long ranges, and it uses up lots of ammo, since it requires two shells per shot, meaning that it has only 12 uses at maximum, and 8 uses at minimum.
The gun retains its usefulness at medium ranges. Its massive stopping power can cause most heavy demons to stumble. Its wide spread brings down multiple fodder demons with a single shot. The Super Shotgun deals heaps of damage up close, gibbing those weak fodder demons in one hit.
