What is the Tactical Shotgun?

The Tactical Shotgun is a super cool and powerful gun in 99 Nights in the Forest! It's one of the best weapons you can find to protect yourself from scary monsters in the dark forest.

How Good is This Gun?

• Each ball does 10 damage to monsters
• If you hit the monster's head, each ball does 20 damage!

• If you're using the Berserker class at max level, it can do 256 damage! 💥

How Fast Can You Shoot?

Where Can I Find This Gun?

Ruby Chests

The best way to get a Tactical Shotgun is by opening Ruby Chests (the special red treasure boxes). These are rare chests you find in the forest!

Workshop Crafting

Sometimes you can also make it at the Workshop, but you need to be lucky to get the recipe!

First Time Bonus! 🎁

When you pick up a Tactical Shotgun for the very first time, you get 43 shotgun shells for FREE!

• 3 shells in the gun
• 40 extra shells to use later

And guess what? Every NEW shotgun you find gives you 43 more shells! So if you find another shotgun later, you get more free bullets!

What Does It Look Like?

The Tactical Shotgun looks like a cool army gun with:

• A long barrel (the front part)
• Green and brown camouflage colors (to hide in the forest)
• 4 shotgun shells stuck to the sides (so you know it's a shotgun!)

It's based on a real gun called the Kel-Tec KSG, but made to look extra cool for the game!

How to Use the Tactical Shotgun

Good Things About This Gun ✅

1. Shoots Many Balls at Once - One shot fires 8 pellets, but only uses 1 ammo! That's a great deal!
2. Great for Groups - Perfect when lots of enemies are close together
3. Strong Damage - Can take down tough monsters quickly
4. Good Range - Works best when enemies are close, but not too close

Things to Remember ⚠️

1. Ammo is Expensive - It costs 20 gems to make more shotgun ammo at the workshop
2. Takes Time to Reload - 5 seconds is a long time when monsters are chasing you!
3. Only 3 Shots - Make sure each shot counts before reloading
4. Works Best Up Close - The pellets spread out, so it's not good for far-away enemies

Best Tips for Using This Gun! 🎯

Tip 1: Save Your Ammo

Shotgun ammo boxes are hard to find and expensive to make. Don't waste shots on weak enemies - use it for tough monsters!

Tip 2: Perfect for Cultist Stronghold

The Cultist Stronghold is a dangerous place where lots of bad guys come at you all at once. The Tactical Shotgun is PERFECT here because one shot can hit multiple enemies!

Tip 3: Aim for Groups

When you see 2 or more enemies standing close together, that's the perfect time to shoot! Your pellets will hit all of them at once.

Tip 4: Reload When Safe

Because it takes 5 seconds to reload, make sure you're in a safe spot or have friends protecting you before you reload.

Tip 5: Backup Weapon

Always carry another weapon (like a sword or spear) for when you run out of ammo or need to reload quickly.

When Should You Use This Gun?

GOOD Times to Use: ✅

• Fighting groups of enemies
• Inside the Cultist Stronghold
• When you have lots of ammo
• Against big, tough monsters
• When friends are helping you

BAD Times to Use: ❌

• When enemies are far away
• When you only have a little ammo left
• Fighting just one weak enemy
• When you're by yourself and surrounded

How to Get More Ammo

Method 1: Ammo Boxes (Best Way)

Find Ammo Boxes around the map - they give you shotgun shells!

Method 2: Workshop Crafting

You can craft shotgun ammo at the Workshop, but it costs 20 gems for one box. That's expensive, so only do this if you really need it!

Method 3: Find More Shotguns

Each new Tactical Shotgun you find gives you 43 more shells! If you're lucky enough to find another one, pick it up for the free ammo.

Combat Strategy

Step 1: Get Ready
