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

Background[]

A Winchester Widowmaker double-barreled 12 gauge shotgun. A short barrel, with mahogany grip.[1]

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.
