The Automatic Shotgun is devastating in close quarters, but loses effectiveness at medium range. Great for ambushes and attacking players who are weakened but carry armor.

• The Automatic Shotgun has received a damage buff to accomodate the difficulty of getting into appropriate range and the improved usability of bullet weapons in the PC environment.
• The model has been changed to reflect a real world gun more.
• The Automatic Shotgun can now penetrate.

In the original game the Automatic Shotgun could be found in the following singleplayer missions:
