The Shotgun is a weapon featured in Halo: Combat Evolved and its remaster, Combat Evolved Anniversary. It has since gone on to appear in nearly all subsequent games in the series.

Universe and lore[edit]
- Main article: M90 shotgun
In the original Combat Evolved, the Shotgun featured is the M90 shotgun.
In Anniversary, the weapon's model was replaced with that of the M45E shotgun from Halo: Reach, though in-game materials still refer to it using all of the original CE designations. Despite this, the original CE design is considered the canonical MA5B in reference texts released since.[2]
