The Double Shotgun is a double-barreled shotgun that appears in Serious Sam 2. It is the successor to the Double Barrel Coach Gun from the other mainline games.
Overview[]
The double shotgun fires both barrels at once when the fire key is pressed. After the gun has been fired, there will be a brief delay between shots (slightly longer than the Auto Shotgun's), then the gun will be able to fire again.
The double shotgun has a surprisingly tight spread, making it useful at up to medium range. However, the actual spread is more horizontal than compared to the auto shotgun's spread.
Appearances[]
The double shotgun first appears in Riverdance. It is then featured in the first or second levels in subsequent episodes.
A blunderbuss version of the double shotgun exists, which is used by Flying Kleers.
Tactics[]
- The double shotgun is quite powerful against medium-strength enemies, such as small Bone Snakes and Levitators. It takes two to three shots to finish off most medium-strength enemies with the double shotgun.
- Because of its tight spread, this weapon can be used at up to medium range. However, it should only be used against medium or large-sized enemies because of the spread. Otherwise, at least a few pellets will miss every shot.
- Its short reload time makes it a good rapid-fire weapon against medium-strength enemies like Kleer Skeletons and Martial Arts Zombies.
Behind the scenes[]
- The double shotgun had two different models in the earlier versions of the game, one resembling a blunderbuss (similar to the model used by Flying Kleers) and another with a display with numbers on it.
