Warhammer 40K: How To Use Shotgun Special Ammo

A lot of players may have noticed this whenever they tapped on the special action button for the Combat Shotgun which allows the character to load up a round in the chamber that makes a very strange sound when fired. But that’s pretty much what happens and until you tap the special button once more, the next shot you fire will have a normal sound.

So to help you understand better, the special ammo for the Shotgun is best used when up against multiple enemies while the normal shot is recommended for handling a single enemy. And one of the best ways you can put the special shotgun ammo to use is to aim it at the head level of a crowd and shoot. The nature of its bullet spread will see you take down a number of enemies at once.

The special ammo for the Shotgun simply changes the weapon’s spray pattern by creating a kind of horizontal line as opposed to the normal Shotgun blast which creates a typical circle when shot.

Lots of weapons in Warhammer 40K: Darktide has special features that are pretty cool. And there’s a lot more to come when the game launches globally on November 30th.
