  1. Shotgun damage is calculated per pellet.
    Correct: 15dmg/pellet x 1.25 = 18.75dmg/pellet ≈ 19dmg/pellet, resulting in 57 damage total.
    Incorrect: 45dmg x 1.25 = 56.25 ≈ 56 damage total.
  • Fortified head shot damages may vary ±3. This is due to uncertainty over whether Fortified reduces non rounded or rounded damage numbers. This difference is negligible on non pellet based weapons.

Pros and Cons[]

Pros

  • Similar magazine capacity to Mastiff and Peacekeeper, and like the Peacekeeper, can reload all of its shells at once.
  • Good damage if Hammerpoint Rounds are attached.
  • Like the P2020, is free in Arenas.
    • Shares the same upgrade costs as the P2020.
  • Will fire from the hip automatically unlike other shotguns.

Cons

  • Small pellet spread and only has three pellets.
  • Relatively slow fire-rate without Shotgun Bolts.
  • Low damage output without Hammerpoint, and can take an entire magazine to down a player.

Skins[]

There are a total of 12 skins for the Mozambique Shotgun: 1 Legendary, 2 epic, 7 Rare, and 3 Common.

Trivia[]

  • The name and triangular pellet pattern of the Mozambique Shotgun is a reference to the Mozambique Drill technique of shooting someone twice in the chest and once in the head.
  • Requesting optics for the Mozambique will result in the Legend asking for pistol optics, instead of shotgun ones, despite the weapon being classified as a shotgun.
