The shotgun guyalso called the former human sergeant in the game manuals, and sometimes shortened to sergeantis an armored space marine which has been turned into a zombie during doom shotgunner invasion from Hell.

What would you think if it were real? I'd like it. Would it be easier or harder to take down than a chaingunner? Honestly, if I were to add a Zombieman, it'd probably be a rocket launcher guy instead. However a super-shotgun guy would be neat, mostly used for gotcha! It is real , thanks to Realm

The pump-action single-barrel shotgun is one of the most versatile and useful weapons in the Doom player's arsenal. It is first found in a secret area of E1M1: Hangar or possibly taken from a former human sergeant on the upper two skill levels , then in a non-secret area on E1M2: Nuclear Plant. A shotgun contains 8 shells when picked up 16 shells on the "I'm too young to die" and "Nightmare! Shotguns looted from the corpses of shotgun wielding zombies contain 4 shells 8 on ITYTD and NM and, unlike pre-existing shotguns, disappear when crushed beneath doors or moving ceilings. The player's shotgun fires seven pellets, each of which inflicts points of damage for a total of points of damage per shot, provided that all pellets connect against the target. Each pellet has the same random directional offset as a pistol shot, which gives an aggregate horizontal spread between 2. Unlike the super shotgun of Doom II , which spreads pellets in a rough cone, there is no vertical dispersal; presumably this was a consequence of the game engine's predominantly planar design. The shotgun packs a deadly punch at close range, and the grouping of the pellets is tight enough to make the weapon useful for medium-range attacks. In a pinch, the shotgun can be used for sniping, though the spread of the pellets makes it hard to do much damage at long range. Packs of weaker enemies are particularly vulnerable to shotgun fire, and it is often possible to kill two or more zombiemen or shotgun guys with a single shot. It should usually kill an imp with a well-aimed blast or a demon in two, but this is often not the case. Against tougher enemies, such as cacodemons , it is usually best to lunge forward and fire at short range, then dodge the enemy's attacks while reloading. This tactic works well when combined with circle strafing. The shotgun is considered a light-medium weapon, stronger than the fists or pistols, so it is generally good for dealing with small groups of humanoids, and the occasional tough monster scattered in mazes. For riot control, say large crowds of former humans, imps, demons, or several hell knights and cacodemons, it is better to use available weapons with greater firepower such as the plasma gun and rocket launcher ; for Doom II the super shotgun is perhaps the best alternative since there is no splash damage and because it draws from the plentiful shell ammo pool.

Last time, you decided that ricochet attacks are better than blue shadows on dodges and dashes. I expected this outcome but am still glad to see a good quarter of you favoured cool essence over cool effort. We continue.

The super shotgun , also called the combat shotgun in the manuals not to be confused with the combat shotgun in Doom or in Doom Eternal , or simply called the double-barreled shotgun , is often abbreviated to SSG , and is a sawed-off , break-open, double-barrel shotgun, in contrast to the original shotgun which is pump-action and single-barreled. The super shotgun takes the same ammunition as the shotgun, but uses two shells per shot. However, whereas the shotgun fires 7 pellets in each shot, a super shotgun blast has 20 pellets. Each pellet still does points of damage for a total of points of damage per shot with vanilla RNG, provided that all pellets hit the target. The super shotgun is about three times as damaging as the standard shotgun per shot, a good bargain since it only uses twice as much ammo each time. One well-aimed blast from a super shotgun almost always kills two imps , one demon , or one spectre , and often inflicts additional damage to nearby monsters.

In the IWADs the shotgun guy is first encountered on these maps per skill level :. All of that to say, holy shit, the pistol fires WAY too slowly to be useful when the zombies drop shotguns.
