Chrome Shotgun

"This shotgun'll work."

- Coach

The Chrome Shotgun is a Pump Shotgun variant in Left 4 Dead 2. The spread of the 10 pellets in a shell can take down multiple Infected at a time. This often makes it better at handling hordes than the submachine gun or Pistols. It reloads about 2 shells per second and fires 1 shell per second. Although the range on the shotgun is much better than most First Person Shooter games and more true to reality, the spread of the shotgun makes pistols better for ranged encounters.



Trivia

 * The shotgun's new animation, instead of pumping downwards due to recoil, now seems to resemble Team Fortress 2's shotgun pump animation, but slower.
 * It would seem that the Chrome Shotgun is more accurate than the Pump Shotgun; the crosshairs are slightly tighter.
 * It appears to be modeled after the Remington Model 870 Marine Magnum.
 * The Chrome Shotgun also has a new reload animation, which is the same as if you emptied the shotgun in Left 4 Dead.
