🏆 Our top 8

1. #1

   Specter 1882 Shorty

   • $164
   • 2 slots
   • Damage 178
   • Drop range 20 m
   • Capacity 3+1

   A 3+1 pump shotgun in 2 slots with the lowest sway among 2-slot shotguns (87). Three shots in a row without reloading — a reliable answer when someone gets right up to you.

   Romero 77 Shorty

   • $46
   • 2 slots
   • Damage 214
   • Drop range 20 m
   • Capacity 1

   The hardest single shot in the list — 214 damage — for $46. It's single-shot, so a miss is punished, but as a second weapon next to a carbine or bow it's the cheapest way to keep a shotgun at hand.

   Dolch 96

   • $690
   • 2 slots
   • Damage 97
   • Drop range 70 m
   • Capacity 10

   10 rounds with a 0.4 s cycle — the biggest magazine among fast-firing 2-slot weapons you can buy. Next to a 3-slot rifle it gives you a loadout for both ranges. Expensive ($690), so it's the pick once money is no longer a problem.

   Mosin Obrez

   • $290
   • 2 slots
   • Damage 126
   • Drop range 100 m
   • Capacity 5

   The sawn-off Mosin: a Special Long bullet (126 damage vs 136 for the full Mosin), 5 rounds and 100 m range. A rifle in your pocket — it complements a bow or a 3-slot shotgun when the fight moves to mid range.

   Terminus Shorty

   • $148
   • 2 slots
   • Damage 188
   • Drop range 20 m
   • Capacity 5+1

   The biggest magazine among 2-slot shotguns — 5+1 — and 188 damage per shot. The cycle is longer than the Specter Shorty's, but you have enough shells for a whole fight inside a building.

   Chu Ko Nu

   • $75
   • 2 slots
   • Damage 150
   • Drop range 15 m
   • Capacity 10

   A repeating crossbow: 10 bolts at 150 damage each, the smallest spread in the list (10), all for $75. Bolts drop early (15 m), so it's a close-range weapon — a perfect match for a 3-slot rifle.

   Centennial Shorty

   • $103
   • 2 slots
   • Damage 120
   • Drop range 110 m
   • Capacity 5+1

   The shortened Centennial: one of the fastest bullets in the list (540 m/s), 5+1 rounds and 110 m range for $103. For when you want a second rifle rather than a shotgun.

   Vandal 73C

   • $35
   • 2 slots
   • Damage 107
   • Drop range 120 m
   • Capacity 6+1

   $35 for 6+1 rounds and 120 m range — among the longest in the list. The cheapest way to carry a second rifle with a magazine: no loss if you die, and next to a 3-slot shotgun it covers mid range.
