Shotgun

Shotguns remain a potent battlefield option despite the availability of much longer-range weapons. While standard rifles and even pistols can serve a soldier well in the open expanses of the world, shotguns support the close-range operations necessary in capturing and defending the tight corridors of key facilities around Auraxis. Empire variations on the classic shotgun design for the Terran Republic and Vanu Sovereignty have not yet been announced, but the New Conglomerate appears to have appropriated the Sweeper. Shotguns are available to the Heavy Assault, Light Assault, Engineer and Combat Medic classes.
