Due to these attributes, the pump shotgun makes a great early-mid game close combat weapon due to its impressive damage output, but the handicapped range will be a limiting factor as more powerful, better-equipped enemies take to raiding your settlement. As typical with a short-ranged, faster-firing weapon, the pump shotgun's effectiveness won't be too badly hindered if it were to be equipped by a less accurate (<95% post-processed accuracy) shooter - and it benefits more from a trigger-happy than a careful shooter as a result. Its high stopping power also means that it's effective at crippling, or even outright destroying limbs and organs.

As [[raider#Tribals|tribal raiders]] don't get any better-equipped than plain [[tribalwear]], and possibly a [[parka]] (which still offers little protection), the pump shotgun is a great counter against them as there will be little-to-no resistance from its impressive raw damage output.

Pump shotguns can be purchased from outlander combat suppliers and towns, and orbital weapon traders for a moderate price - or obtained via incapacitating a pump shotgun-wielding [[raider#Outlanders|outlanders]], [[raider#Pirates|pirates]], and [[raider#Mercenaries|mercenaries]]. Pump shotguns can also be manufactured at a [[machining table]] once the [[research#machining|machining]] research has been completed; for 60 steel, 3 components, and {{ticks|30000}} of work.

===Conclusion & Comparison===
+
==Analysis==
−
Overall, when put up against other weapons in RimWorld; the pump shotgun really is just middle-of-the-road in its class: it's considerably better than the cheaper [[machine pistol]] in terms of damage output and accuracy, but still has a significantly shorter range which'll put the machine pistol at an advantage. However, the more expensive [[heavy SMG]] has a significantly higher (~32%) higher average useful DPS than the pump shotgun, as well as a slightly longer range - and the [[LMG]] has a significantly longer range than the pump shotgun, although the pump shotgun's useful DPS is actually slightly higher (~14.8%) than that of the LMG's.
+
The pump shotgun's main strengths include its good per-shot damage, as well as having the joint-highest stopping power rating (shared with the [[chain shotgun]]) out of all conventional weapons in the game; only explosives outperform the shotguns in this particular aspect. Stopping power is so high that it can stagger every pawn kind in the game barring [[elephant]]s, [[thrumbo]]s and [[megasloth]]s. Accuracy is also excellent, technically out-performing even the ever-reliable [[bolt-action rifle]] in this aspect. Overall rate of fire is also decent, and damage output is the highest out of all single-shot non-explosive ranged weapons in the game.
  
  
−
Against its brand new burst-firing cousin, that is the [[chain shotgun]], things get more interesting: while the pump shotgun has superior range to the chain shotgun, the chain shotgun still has higher overall accuracy than the pump-action shotgun - 3 times 41.1% (~123.3%) versus 82.5% at 8 tiles, the most likely range that both of these weapons would see a lot of use at - and the chain shotgun also has a higher damage output, and there's even more to come as the chain shotgun has a lot of unrealised potential in normal combat scenarios - but there's more information on that matter on the chain shotgun's page. However, the chain shotgun is considerably more expensive and also rarer than the pump shotgun.
+
This weapon's also easy to acquire owing to its relative cheapness resulting in early-game raiders occasionally using it, as well as overall ease of production.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
However, as to be expected from shotguns, range is severely lacking; even hand-thrown [[pila]] can out-range a pump shotgun, let alone low-tier firearms such as the [[revolver]], and the pump shotgun only out-ranges the chain shotgun, [[Frag grenades|grenades]] and [[Molotov cocktails|molotovs]]. Armor penetration is also quite poor, being in a similar league to the [[autopistol]] and [[greatbow]].
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Overall damage output also falls behind cheaper burst-firing weapons such as the [[machine pistol]], though the pump shotgun does regain ground and even claim a slight advantage towards its maximum range.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
All-in-all, the pump shotgun is best suited as a close-quarters offensive weapon, but can also act as a supporting weapon for close-quarters encounters such as [[infestation]]s due to its rate of fire and stopping power. It's not advisable to hunt with the pump shotgun due to its short range since quarry is more likely to turn manhunter.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Against an unarmored human, a pump shotgun can kill with 3 hits to the torso, 2 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 2 hits; and destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 4 hits (~10.3 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.  
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Overall, the pump shotgun is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 6, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.

The pump shotgun is a moderately heavy, single-shot weapon in RimWorld which deals a slightly higher amount of damage per shot; a slightly shorter time between shots; short range and very high overall accuracy.

Acquisition

Pump shotguns can be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, outlander settlements, or obtained from the following raider kinds:

Raider Kind Chance Average Quality Health
Scavenger Gunner 11.65% Normal 40-110%
Pirate Gunner 22.62% Normal 70-230%
Town Guard 18.90% Normal 60-200%
Mercenary Gunner 12.13% Normal 70-320%
Ancient Soldier 9.50% Normal 100%


Pump shotguns can also be crafted at a machining table once the gunsmithing research has been completed; from 60 steel, 3 components and 12,000 ticks (3.33 mins) of work. A crafting skill of at least 5 is required.


Analysis

The pump shotgun's main strengths include its good per-shot damage, as well as having the joint-highest stopping power rating (shared with the chain shotgun) out of all conventional weapons in the game; only explosives outperform the shotguns in this particular aspect. Stopping power is so high that it can stagger every pawn kind in the game barring elephants, thrumbos and megasloths. Accuracy is also excellent, technically out-performing even the ever-reliable bolt-action rifle in this aspect. Overall rate of fire is also decent, and damage output is the highest out of all single-shot non-explosive ranged weapons in the game.


This weapon's also easy to acquire owing to its relative cheapness resulting in early-game raiders occasionally using it, as well as overall ease of production.


However, as to be expected from shotguns, range is severely lacking; even hand-thrown pila can out-range a pump shotgun, let alone low-tier firearms such as the revolver, and the pump shotgun only out-ranges the chain shotgun, grenades and molotovs. Armor penetration is also quite poor, being in a similar league to the autopistol and greatbow.


Overall damage output also falls behind cheaper burst-firing weapons such as the machine pistol, though the pump shotgun does regain ground and even claim a slight advantage towards its maximum range.


All-in-all, the pump shotgun is best suited as a close-quarters offensive weapon, but can also act as a supporting weapon for close-quarters encounters such as infestations due to its rate of fire and stopping power. It's not advisable to hunt with the pump shotgun due to its short range since quarry is more likely to turn manhunter.


Against an unarmored human, a pump shotgun can kill with 3 hits to the torso, 2 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 2 hits; and destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 4 hits (~10.3 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.


Overall, the pump shotgun is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 6, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.

Pump Shotgun vs. Comparable Weapons

This section goes over how well the pump shotgun fares against comparable weapons (similar value, tech level or similar characteristics) in 1 vs. 1 combat.

Methodology

  • All testing is semi-automated which allows for large sample sizes to be gathered per set of results with ease
  • All pawns have skill levels of 14 in ranged and melee
  • No pawns have any traits that affect combat performance
  • All pawns are of at least 18 years of age and completely healthy
  • Pawns are divided by walls to prevent stray shots from skewing results in any way
  • Weather is always kept clear
  • No cover is used for either team


Results in the tables below are the percentages of battles that pump shotguns either won or tied against the weapon listed in the first column of said tables, with a sample size of 2,000 battles per result. Higher percentages are better.
