The M90's incarnation in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' is arguably the strongest version. It can hold 12 shells, and the player can carry up to 60 more shells for a total of 72 shells. It has the longest and most realistic effective range of all the three models, and its fifteen tungsten pellets could kill, weaken or injure targets at short to medium ranges. Although it is more likely to kill a closer ranged enemy as the shotgun is weak on further distanced enemies, the shotgun could also kill nearly any infantry target at point blank range. It even has the capabilities to take on lightly armored vehicles, such as the [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]] effectively. Players could hold the trigger button down for continuous fire. To melee, the player swings the shotgun up and brings the butt of the weapon on someone's head/front. If the player fires the entire magazine or if the player picks up a Shotgun without a full magazine and fires it empty, the character model will rack the shotguns pump after reloading, although most players usually opted to reload after every shot. It reloads more quickly than in ''Halo 2''. | The M90's incarnation in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' is arguably the strongest version.

Interestingly, the player can hold down the fire button for continuous fire, though one can clearly see John-117 racking the pump after every shot, showing this is an oversight by Bungie.
