The combat shotgun is a semi-automatic shotgun for the support specialist perk, which comes equipped with a red-dot sight and a flashlight; the third weapon to do so, alongside the shotgun and 9mm tactical pistol, with the fourth being Vlad the Impaler. It bears several similarities to the pump shotgun but the combat shotgun fires semi-automatically, has a smaller magazine, and its reload time is approximately 35% slower per shell.

There is also a "Golden Combat Shotgun" available in the "Golden Weapons" DLC. Its statistics are identical to the normal Combat Shotgun.

[edit] Price and ammunition

The combat shotgun has a base cost of £2500, the same price as the SCARMK17. The support specialist perk offers discounts on this cost at intervals of £250 per level in the perk, to a current minimum price of £750. The ammunition cost is £10 for three shots; £160 for a full refill at the base level and approximately £3.33 per shot.

[edit] Damage

The combat shotgun has identical statistics per shot to the shotgun; it differs only in its potential rate of fire and ammo capacity. Combat Shotgun spreads out seven pellets per shot and pellets deal 35 damage each. Carries 6 shells and shoots them rather faster than the shotgun. However its reload sequence is slower than the standard shotgun. In situations where this additional rate of fire isn't utilised, due to its extended reload time and reduced capacity, it is less efficient than the regular shotgun.
