The DS-117 Shotgun, more commonly known as the Combat Shotgun, is a weapon featured in Doom (2016).
Campaign
The shotgun fires 10 pellets with 22 damage each, and one random one that does 26 damage so it can do up to 220-246 damage a shot. But it has a rate of fire of 900 milliseconds, and has a fairly large cone spread.
Ammunition
The Combat Shotgun shares its ammo pool with the Super Shotgun. The player can increase his max ammo cap by using Argent Energy Cells and allocating its power to "Ammo" subsystem.
