Spas-12 Shotgun

The Spas-12 Shotgun in Rust is a semi-automatic firearm known for its rapid firing capability compared to the slower, craftable Pump Shotgun. Though it offers a lower base damage, it compensates with speed, making it a formidable weapon in close combat scenarios. This shotgun can equip three attachments to enhance its performance and features an internal magazine with a 6-shot capacity. It accepts all types of shotgun ammunition, including but not limited to handmade shells, giving players versatility in ammo choice.

As a rare military-grade weapon, acquiring the Spas-12 Shotgun isn't straightforward; it cannot be crafted. Instead, players can obtain it through looting. It sporadically drops from Military Tunnel Scientists and is a potential find in various crates around the map. Players may also acquire it as a coveted reward for defeating the Bradley APC or the Patrol Helicopter, showcasing the shotgun's value and rarity. Additionally, keep an eye on Supply Drops, as there's a small chance of finding one nestled among other valuable items within.

When using the Spas-12 Shotgun, consider your engagement distance; its effectiveness wanes at longer ranges. Up your advantage by adding attachments, like a Shotgun Choke to tighten the spread or a Holosight for better aiming. Remember to stock up on adequate ammo for lengthy excursions, as the weapon's 6-shot capacity might require frequent reloading under pressure. Mastering the Spas-12 Shotgun can make the difference in fast-paced skirmishes, turning the tide to your favor with its quick shots.
