How to Use the Shotgun in R.E.P.O.

If you’ve ever looked at a monster and thought, What if I just removed half of it in one shot?, then the Shotgun is exactly what you need. At a hefty $92K, this beast of a weapon delivers devastating close-range power—along with a healthy dose of regret if you don’t handle it right. And heads up: that third shot? Yeah, that one comes with some extra excitement.

How It Works

Point, Shoot, and Hope You’re Holding On

  • Aim at whatever’s in front of you. Preferably a monster.

  • Pull the trigger. Enjoy watching something get obliterated.

  • Keep in mind: your third shot will yeet the shotgun behind you with uncontrollable recoil. No, you can’t stop it. Yes, it will be hilarious (unless you’re surrounded).

Make Every Shot Count

  • This thing hits like a freight train, but ammo isn’t unlimited.

  • If you miss, that’s $92K worth of regret.

  • If you really miss, you might just blast something you didn’t mean to (teammates included).

Brace Yourself for the Third Shot

  • First shot? Great. Second shot? Nice.

  • Third shot? Good luck.

  • The recoil will throw the shotgun behind you, meaning you’ll need to retrieve it—or just accept that it has moved on to a new life without you.

When to Use It

  • When a monster is way too close – Because nothing says “back off” like erasing its front half.

  • When you need pure stopping power – If a Tranq Gun is a polite “please go away,” the Shotgun is a firm “GET OUT.”

  • When you want chaos – The third shot is basically a party trick. Just hope you’re not the one getting surprised.

At $92K, the Shotgun is an expensive way to make monsters regret chasing you. Just remember: every shot matters, and that third one? That’s a wild ride whether you’re ready or not.
