Shotgun (Fallout 2)

The Winchester Widowmaker shotgun is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
A decent early game weapon, the shotgun is outclassed by the hunting rifle. However, it will do as a primary weapon for John Cassidy or Vic until something better comes along.

Variants

 * Sawed-off shotgun: A Widowmaker shotgun with the barrels sawn-off. This results in higher maximum damage (by two points), but the range is cut down to a meager 7 hexes.

Locations

 * Loot
 * Redding: Tall locker in the Sheriff's office.
 * Vendors
 * The Den: Flick
 * Vault City: Happy Harry

Behind the scenes

 * The weapon's appearance is, of course, a reference to Mad Max and his signature gun. The sawed-off variant, even more.
 * The actual Winchester Widowmaker was an autoloading shotgun, rather than the conventional break-open weapon seen here.
