Shotguns/Tom Clancy's The Division 2

These weapons inflict extremely heavy damage at short range. Each shotgun blast fires a shell that spews buckshot (small spherical pellets) in a widening spread that can strike multiple targets at once. Shotguns are particularly valuable in the brutal, close-quarters environments common to urban combat. It also serves well as a defensive or support weapon. The multiple entry channels of a point-blank defensive shotgun blast are more likely to inflict immediately disabling wounds than a handgun or a rifle.

Enemies struck by shot gun pellets tend to stagger and flinch, disrupting their ability to return fire. The Divisions store of shotguns includes a variety of options such as (from slowest to fastest firing) breech-loading, pump-action, semi-automatic, and automatic.
