The SG-88 Break-Action Shotgun is a support weapon that can be found at points of interest on any planet on any difficulty. It is a standard over-under shotgun, fitted with a futuristic stock.
It is generally found on the corpses of civilians and SEAF personnel who made a heroic last stand.
Gameplay tips[]
- It has one shell in each barrel and the possibility of keeping 40 shells in reserve.
- Ammo boxes give 10 shells while supply boxes give 20 shells.
- Kills light and medium-armored enemies with one headshot up-close, including Devastators. Almost zero delay between shots, and low recoil, allows it to deliver both barrels accurately with ease.
- It's a decent option at lower difficulties due to the lack of unlocked support weapon stratagems and decent damage, but will generally be outclassed by even primary weapons as one unlocks more and more of their armory.
- Although it is a shotgun, its tight choke gives it a pretty deceptive range, capable of retaining lethality out to 50 meters.
- Generally only worth picking up at higher difficulties for a challenge, or you literally have no other choices for support weapons at the moment.
Trivia[]
- It was the only support weapon in the entire game that cannot be obtained using stratagems, prior to the addition of the Entrenchment Tool.
- Previously, the weapon used an AK47 as its minimap icon. Later patches corrected this, and now features double-barreled shotgun.
