Shotgun

The shotgun is probobly the most broken and annoying weapon in Beatdown (besides scalpels) and can turn a Aaron VS Raven into a Carlo VS Gregorio. Fortunately, most of the characters with shotguns are too badly programmed to use them. A shotgun can hold 5 ammo and deals heavy damage. The charge time makes up for the loopable shooting, but clearly not enough. If the first shot hits, and the other player knows how to abuse the attack loop, you're fucked.

When the first hit of a shotgun hits, run forward and wait for the opponent to begin getting up. Take a shot as they are getting up and they will be thrown back again. Repeat. If you want to keep your shotgun for the next round of combat, leave at least 1 shot in it. The next round, it will be fully replenished to 5 shots. This loop guarantees you 4 free un-blockable hits on your opponent.
