Survivor Shotgun

The Survivor Shotgun is a slightly buffed version of the normal Shotgun, in which it is more accurate, has less recoil, and more damage (subject to change) but it only spawns within the "Save One Bullet" mutation as a special weapon.

Advantages

 * Being a slightly better version of the Shotgun, a human that knows how to use a shotgun is able to easily use this, perhaps utilize it more.


 * Good for close range. If a zombie tries to come close, the Survivor Shotgun can easily get a 1 shot kill on them. It is often a guaranteed instant kill.


 * The even higher amount of pellets will guarantee a hit than the normal Shotgun.

Disadvantages

 * A human is only given the Survivor Shotgun in the specific mutation "Save One Bullet" meaning that you cannot guarantee yourself one every round.
 * Still bad at long range, meaning that will have to use a Pistol or two to finish a zombie at medium range.
 * The Survivor Shotgun, although better than the normal Shotgun, still suffers at controlling hordes. This can be especially troubling when there's a horde and you cannot switch to another weapon.
 * It's also quite deadly to miss a shot. Save your ammo only when you can guarantee a kill. Quickswitching to a pistol can help finish off if all the pellets don't quite hit.

Trivia

 * First survivor weapon in the game, along with being the first gun specifically unlocked under certain circumstances.
 * Second Shotgun added to the game, with the first being the normal Shotgun.
 * Although this gun is basically the Shotgun, it holds no unique gibsets besides the normal Shotgun's gibsets.
