Shotgun

Frozen Synapse 2
The Shotgun unit is a Mercenary in Frozen Synapse 2.

Though short ranged, shotgunners have higher reaction time and will usually win in most close-combat situations. They are also fast moving and fairly inexpensive to buy.

Frozen Synapse
The shotgun is a close range weapon that fires several pellets at once, just like a real shotgun. The reaction time of a shotgun vs any other weapon at close range is always quicker, and it will therefore win within its own range unless the enemy has a big situational advantage. Unless an enemy is flagged to be ignored or the enemy is out of range, the Shotgun will fire automatically.
