Officers,
Sometimes the only way out of a situation is to get up close and personal.
5 – ShotgunsExperience tells us the purpose of the shotgun – from the earliest Doom games to modern shooters, it's the killing device that offers high damage, typically at the cost of short range and high spread (but that can also be an advantage). The hostiles you'll be facing in Tactical Squad are well aware of these weapons' qualities, so if you see someone taking a close position against your team, it's time to act fast – don't let them get too close!
Luckily, the same option for planning out your own moves is very much available to you. Aside from the breaching shotgun, a non-lethal, definitive means to opening doors that resist more subtle solutions, there is also your standard-issue shotgun. There's more versatility to it than you might expect from our intro, though – you can use the pre-mission Equipment screen to outfit your operative in the type of ammo that suits your tactical needs:
● buckshot – whose spread covers a wide area but travels at low range,
● slug – one bullet, but allows you to shoot at a higher distance,
● bean bag – used for less lethal apprehension of suspects.
And last but certainly not least – if you want more updates, here's a reminder that we've uploaded a brand new devlog video for our game. Check it out right here:
