*One of the most dominating weapons in the Halo Trilogy, the Shotgun shows its most effective side in [[The Library (Level)|The Library]] in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and in ''[[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]]'' in ''Halo 2'', where equipping one allows the user to plow through hordes of Flood forms. | *One of the most dominating weapons in the Halo Trilogy, the Shotgun shows its most effective side in [[The Library (Level)|The Library]] in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and in ''[[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]]'' in ''Halo 2'', where equipping one allows the user to plow through hordes of Flood forms. | ||
*In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', | *In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the user can perform what players call the "speed pump", or a "slam fire" to use the real-world term. In this method, the player must reload the shotgun almost instantly after firing each shot. After each time he/she repeats this procedure, the shotgun will be reloaded faster than the normal rate. As a result, the shotgun will inflict a seemingly unstoppable barrage of projectiles until there are no longer any shells left to spare. This method is extremely useful in the level, [[The Library (Level)|The Library]], as well as the remainder of the levels after it. | ||
*This weapon is easily the best choice in the game for taking out powerful enemies such as groups of [[Flood Combat Forms]], [[Elites]], and [[Brutes]]. Even on ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' [[Heroic]] difficulty, it is possible to take out shielded Elites with as few as two rounds, and only on [[Legendary]] do the Flood become capable of surviving a direct hit from the shotgun. | *This weapon is easily the best choice in the game for taking out powerful enemies such as groups of [[Flood Combat Forms]], [[Elites]], and [[Brutes]].

*Brutes, [[Councilor]]s and [[Ultra Elites]] are the only enemy that can survive a point blank shotgun blast on Normal difficulty in ''Halo 2''. Hunters can be killed by shooting directly into the exposed orange [[Lekgolo]]. However, on Legendary difficulty, any rank higher than a [[Minor Elite]]'s shielding and health can withstand a point blank shotgun blast. Beware, for the [[Flood]] can wield shotguns to devastating effect, since they have an extremely long jumping range. | *Brutes, [[Councilor]]s and [[Ultra Elites]] are the only enemy that can survive a point blank shotgun blast on Normal difficulty in ''Halo 2''.
