PostsBesides most explosives, the Shotgun deals the most damage over all other weaponry in the game, making it very important for players to get a hold of it as early as possible. Unfortunately, the gun isn't easy to find, but this guide will show you exactly where to find the Shotgun and how to add it to your arsenal.
How To Get The Shotgun
Finding the Shotgun in the forest can be tricky, mainly because it's not found in the open; it's buried.
With the gun being buried, you need to have found the Shovel first before attempting to dig it up. Once you have this tool, you can now make your way to the Shotgun.
The Shotgun is found buried in a grave in the northwestern section of the map along with a GPS Locator.
The gun is found just off the main path, left to the Abandoned Camp and between the two small ponds.
The grave will be completely underground, so you need to keep your eyes peeled for the wooden cross, posted directly on top of the spot.
Once you find the cross, pull out your shovel and get to digging, the grave is just a few scoops under the dirt.
After revealing the grave, just break it open with your shovel, and you will be met with a dead soldier clutching the weapon to their chest.
The Shotgun is now yours for the taking. Just don't forget to grab the GPS Locator as well.
