Shotgun (Fallout)

The shotgun is a small gun in Fallout.

Gameplay attributes
One of the most useful weapons in the game, the Widowmaker uses the commonly available 12 gauge shells and deals good damage at short ranges. While it is fairly low for a general use weapon, 14 hexes is still more than enough to lay waste to anyone foolish enough to come close. Especially if one aims for the eyes.

Locations

 * Quests
 * Junktown: One of the rewards received from Killian Darkwater after recording Gizmo's confession (comes with 100 shells).
 * Loot
 * Vault 13: Inside the armory, accessible after convincing the Overseer to provide more guns.
 * Khan base: Inside the fridge.
 * Necropolis: Found inside the Hall of the Dead: In the fridge and behind the secret door on the shelves.
 * Non-player characters
 * Junktown: Lars, Marcelles (named "Ol' Betsy").

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.
