Special Note: The non rounded per pellet head shot damage numbers for Fortified, assuming Fortified reduces non rounded numbers, are (No Helmet -> Lvl3/4) 9.35, 9.18, 8.7875, and 8.60625. They ALL round to 9 damage/pellet equaling 99 damage total.

Note: Fortified head shot damages may vary +-11. 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

Cons

• High recoil.
• Long reload times (2.5s manually and 3.5s with empty mag).
• Requires somewhat precise aim to deal high damage.
• Bad iron sights.
• Slow fire rate without a Shotgun Bolt.

Trivia

• The binary code on the Pal 9000 skin reads "Kill Pathfinder".
• The Peacekeeper's codename is "energy_shotgun" and it shoots blue projectiles like energy weapons. This is due to the Peacekeeper's shells actually being batteries. Despite this, it does not use Energy Ammo for gameplay reasons.
• Gibraltar has a "spinning" draw animation similar to reloading or chambering the next shot with a single hand. This same animation is seen when using a zip line, Octane's Stim or any other action that may use the legend's left arm.
