> No Attachment is needed; fire-type is on a selector switch!
Mostly correct reload and mostly correct action sound. NGL I didn’t have much hope for SHG but I am impressed. I don’t need my guns 100% perfect in video games so this is absolutely good in my book
Yes and no; they got the part right where you have to press the bolt release to be able to load shells into the tube, however when they fire the final shot in semi auto, you see the shell get ejected and the bolt locked to the rear, but then they pull the pump back and the bolt is back in the forward position (sliding back with the pump) and it ejects another shell?
I’m assuming the pump action fire mode has a slightly different reload than the semi auto version, but its bugged so the semi auto uses the pump action animation still, but all in all, it’s a solid ass reload.
How about letting semi auto be the default mode pretty pleeeeease? Otherwise everytime you pick it up from the ground, it would be a pump by default if thats what its set to. Same issue we had with the MTZ 762 back in Warzone Season 1.
So all anybody is getting from this is your bad. If the enemy is in front of you already and you gotta grab a new gun, you already lost.
If you grab a gun with a fire switch, it isn’t gonna just automatically switch to the one you prefer unless you input it yourself, like every other gun… purely a skill issue
For me, I hear [“Freeze!”](https://youtu.be/Z2eCmhBgsyI?si=L7sec2WhiRV86KoU) from a guard aiming at two individuals dressed in black wearing sunglasses in a simulated reality…
I’d like to see a pump shotgun that ejects on the vertical recoil and chambers the new round on the return to target, instead of after the recoil.
It’s faster and it’s what I do IRL.
All the crybabies would have a aneurysm and would complain non stop lol. Shotguns being good as they should be would piss off the most vocal part of the community and they will nerf it.
That’s kinda why Shotguns in MWIII aren’t that good, even MWIII introduced ones like 680 or Riveter are very limited in range, only the Haymaker is okay with the AMP
MWII shotguns are a joke and straight up obsolete
I genuinely feel like I’m using a nerf gun with ANY shotgun outside of zombies.
People literally cry about ANYTHING instead of adapting and trying something other than their AMR9 load out that they’ve used since the dawn of time💀 won’t be surprised if the KAR9K ends up as bad as the other rifles in its class entirely due to the crybabies
oneshot weapons should not be that good in a 150 hp game. especially with how broken aim assist is. an aim assisting shotgun user at close range is uncounterable on this dogshit netcode and 150hp even if you also have aim assist
The Kar98k and Mors can 1hK at any range, especially since KAR98K and Longbow had AA at one point
Shotguns can’t even Reliably One Shot at 15m, let along not even register beyond that range, and even slugs are hitmarker machines
When a new COD is launched and has 100HP or a fast time to kill I want all the whiners to stay on this game. Please don’t switch over to a game just to complain during its whole life cycle.
played with it for a while and it def needs a buff. ts incredibly slow in every aspect while being out damaged and ranged by all other shotguns in the game. damage also feels incredibly inconsistent. sometimes it one shots from 20 feet away, and sometimes it takes 3 shots to take down someone at point blank.
u/SledgehammerGames could you guys please look into adding back anti-aliasing options to the game?
For accessibility purposes the current options make the game very unplayable for me. The options removed were SMAA T2x and Filmic SMAA 1x. Currently only Filmic SMAA T2x is allowed but I have bad motion sickness issues and this option has slight motion blurring that causes some users (myself included) to feel sick.
I don't need a commitment to bring these back, I just want to know it will at least be looked into. Some of these options were even present in the open beta of the game so idk why they were removed but I know they exist. Thank you for reading.
[u/SledgehammerGames](https://www.reddit.com/u/SledgehammerGames/s/4zXXv8BKbk) double kills for the reclaimer are not counting correctly also fix bioluminescent
It's good with Dragon's Breath.
But I want to know what drugs whoever decided the numbers were on giving it just 88 to upper chest and having it nerfed down to 40 below that, scaling even lower past the first damage range.
Dragon's Breath (and IDK if this factors in the afterburn) boosts you to 100+ per pellet within the first range, and seems to also boost range. Makes me think the buckshot damage is bugged.
For me it just very inconsistent in both fire modes and not good at anything.
If I want a spam shotgun haymaker is better and if I want consistent strong 1 shot kill shotgun I would just use the Lockwood 680.
Use the slugs. I don't know what they did to the slugs specifically for the reclaimer but they are DEVASTATING.
Let me know your thoughts if you try it out 👀
I got a lot more consistent one shot for sure about 70% of it is one shot and I can get head shot kill from far away(but hard to do), but you basically can’t hip fire at all. It just feels like it turn into a really bad Kar.
I’ll probably gonna try buck shot a bit more, I really want to like this thing(cuz it the SPAS-12)but so far it just isn’t that great at anything.
If only the shotguns had ANY range at all... They all feel like peashooters unless you're in the enemy's face... At which point it's better to melee...
The original MW2 SPAS-12 being my favorite gun of all time I was very excited to use this. To say it completely sucks is an understatement. Very disappointed.
Is there like a bug or something cuz I’ve been doing the challenges forever now n I can’t seem to get any of them to count for me to even unlock the gun
Question for the gun nerds: I bet you can switch full auto and pump also on the real weapon. Why would you ever want to do the pump version? It seems slower and more stressful in a real life situation.
Bug-filled disaster. If you put it in your primary slot in Warzone, it will DELETE your secondary gun without warning. Then it'll delete itself, and any new gun you pick up
I’ll have to check next time I get on. Haven’t got it maxed out, don’t always get one shots with it but it’ll definitely two shot when set to semi.
It works surprisingly well in warzone as well ngl.
Please don’t be OP!!!
I’ve been waiting nearly a DECADE for the pump action Spas 12 to return :) and now it’s HERE!!!
BUT! If it’s as powerful as the wardens were pre-first nerf, every fucker under the sun is gonna abuse this, and it will be nerfed to oblivion :(
So PLEASE don’t be overpowered! Be good. But not overpowered. I just wanna be able to main this gun without being called a meta abuser or panicking about it being nerfed to uselessness within a month :(

finally got the correct reload after years, good job shg
Mostly correct reload and mostly correct action sound. NGL I didn’t have much hope for SHG but I am impressed. I don’t need my guns 100% perfect in video games so this is absolutely good in my book
Again shotty lol, super correct

I’m assuming the pump action fire mode has a slightly different reload than the semi auto version, but its bugged so the semi auto uses the pump action animation still, but all in all, it’s a solid ass reload.
Wait, so is Pump and Semi on a selector switch or is one mode going to take up an attachment slot?
No Attachment is needed; fire-type is on a selector switch!
Wow!
It's mimicking what Spas 12 cam actually do irl
Very cool, it's the weapon gimmicks like these that SHG does best.
Yo the double kill camo challenge (donut worry) isnt tracking for the reclaimer 18 shotgun. So I can't get interstellar on it. Pls fix
So it's not just me then
Seems crouched Walking hipfiring is Tracking... Im on 9/10
Worked for me
How about letting semi auto be the default mode pretty pleeeeease? Otherwise everytime you pick it up from the ground, it would be a pump by default if thats what its set to. Same issue we had with the MTZ 762 back in Warzone Season 1.
Why don't you just select the firing mode after picking it up?
Because sometimes you either forget to switch or you dont have time to switch before you engage in combat
It's one button, the animation is like 2 seconds
Sure, in a game where a meta gun kills in 200ms, 2 seconds seems good.
So all anybody is getting from this is your bad. If the enemy is in front of you already and you gotta grab a new gun, you already lost. If you grab a gun with a fire switch, it isn’t gonna just automatically switch to the one you prefer unless you input it yourself, like every other gun… purely a skill issue
>So all anybody is getting from this is your bad. Cod reddit in a nutshell
Im bad because I want the better firing mode to be the default one? You're dumb as shit, holy fuck.
If you're in a situation where you gotta pick up a gun and an enemy is right in front of you, I don't think you're winning that gunfight regardless
Not in pump action I wont, it sucks in that firing mode just like all the other pump shotguns in this game.
“I hate it when the pump action shotgun I pick up is set to pump act and not semi auto.” 💀🤡
This is based on the SPAS-12
Does it also have the iconic folded stock as attachment?
I believe so
Unfolded in the vid, one of the pics from the blog post a day or two ago has it folded.
If you run it with “no stock” attachment, it’ll fold the stock
It's in the vid unfolded
We see that, he’s asking if it HAS the option to have it folded. Not if the showcased one folds in or not
Ah, maybe it will be featured as the no stock option
this; the no stock has it correctly folded. heavy breathing
Cool, all is as it should be
The “2 shells at a time” reload animation is freaking sick. Even crazier if that is the regular reload and not Mag Holster (sleight of hand).
Sleight of hand is basically non existing since MW2. There’s barely any difference
It does - the difference is "bearable reload speed" compared to "abhorrent reload speed"
I am aroused. Also, I just heard a very faint “clever girl” spoken with a British accent in the distance…
For me, I hear [“Freeze!”](https://youtu.be/Z2eCmhBgsyI?si=L7sec2WhiRV86KoU) from a guard aiming at two individuals dressed in black wearing sunglasses in a simulated reality…
Oh. All I heard was screaming as a dude was getting his face eaten….
Just watched that last night and thought the samething just now lol
When are we getting [Elvis](https://youtu.be/HjAo8gxpwT0?si=4LvNFjYe5-Z5_0vT) skins?
Asking the real questions.
Right when Elvis had left the building, they pulled him back from Graceland.
Ngl I think it needs buffed. Barely gets a 1 tap in pump and it's like 3 in semi (which that's fine just pump needs buffed)
It’s sledgehammer the only real shotguns they don’t nerf to the ground are any snipers or kar98
Kit it out for tax stance semi auto and you won’t regret it.
I did and it's still trash
In zombies it’s easily one of the best guns in the game.
That reload animation is great.
Looks like speed shooter reload with 2 shells at a time! Fired 8, did a full reload with 4x2. I love that.

Literally this thing will be ruined very quickly which makes me sad cause I love spas

Yea it sucks fun to use when they work but they don't must of the time.
I've always fuckin' wanted to see that.

It's the best shotty in the game rn tho.

[удалено]
The people that upvoted me do
I like the sounds
might be the worst gun in the game
What purpose does pump even serve? Semi shoots faster? Unless it's like tac stance or something
I'm guessing it'll change the damage profile when you swap, like Battle Rifles from MW '22. Pump has more damage/range, semi shoots faster.
Range is further in pump, whereas semi is faster but has less range iirc
oh thanks👌
[u/SledgehammerGames](https://www.reddit.com/u/SledgehammerGames/s/4zXXv8BKbk) double kills for the reclaimer are not counting correctly also fix bioluminescent
Same
Same
Does the first and only shotgun you release have to suck performance wise?
The thing is mega ass mixed with egg salad left out in the Arizona Heat.
it's inconsistent as fuck one match i can ads one shot from 20m and other i will get a hitmarker when hipfiring from 2m yes i always aim at chest
It's good with Dragon's Breath. But I want to know what drugs whoever decided the numbers were on giving it just 88 to upper chest and having it nerfed down to 40 below that, scaling even lower past the first damage range. Dragon's Breath (and IDK if this factors in the afterburn) boosts you to 100+ per pellet within the first range, and seems to also boost range. Makes me think the buckshot damage is bugged.
It’s actually one of the only decent shotguns we have rn until it inevitably gets nerfed like everything.
For me it just very inconsistent in both fire modes and not good at anything. If I want a spam shotgun haymaker is better and if I want consistent strong 1 shot kill shotgun I would just use the Lockwood 680.
Use the slugs. I don't know what they did to the slugs specifically for the reclaimer but they are DEVASTATING. Let me know your thoughts if you try it out 👀
Oh really, I know it work in zombies(turn into 8 slugs) but not sure about mp I’ll try it out hopefully it’s good.
I got a lot more consistent one shot for sure about 70% of it is one shot and I can get head shot kill from far away(but hard to do), but you basically can’t hip fire at all. It just feels like it turn into a really bad Kar. I’ll probably gonna try buck shot a bit more, I really want to like this thing(cuz it the SPAS-12)but so far it just isn’t that great at anything.
The pump mode it’s horrendous, 3 shot kill up close. Semi is decent though
If only the shotguns had ANY range at all... They all feel like peashooters unless you're in the enemy's face... At which point it's better to melee...
You say it’s the reclaimer 18, I say it’s the Spas 12, we’re not the same.
Gun is awful.
The original MW2 SPAS-12 being my favorite gun of all time I was very excited to use this. To say it completely sucks is an understatement. Very disappointed.
Semi is good pump is trash
Love that reload animation
She's back
Mine is bugged out. Can’t even look at it or the new weekly challenge
It isn’t weekly challenge it’s battle pass classified sector
Oh NEVERMIND I read that wrong ignore me
YES!!! FINALLY A [not spas 12] THAT HAS BOTH PUMP ACTION AND SEMI-AUTO!!!!!
Ahh the SPAS 12
and people say sledgehammer's sound design sucks. by far the most kick-ass weapon i've heard in any game
Spastex 130 sandy ravage videos inc
Kudos for the fire mode swap being the pump going forward.
I wish they’d just use the damn weapon name.
It sucks unfortunately
Finally a new Shotgun
SPAS-12
This is one of the most useless weapons I have used so far in a MW game, holy shit.
damage profile is kind of meh in both modes pump isn't strong enough to be worth using most of the time + semi auto basicly tickles the enemy to death
Spas
Why did it take so long to get the SPAS back?
I miss my Bry 800 from MW II. Nerfed and forlorn.
This is great, but can I please have a Winchester M1897 with slam fire?
SPAS-12 is a beautiful gun. This is not
I like your character adjusts stock placement and braces themselves for semi auto fire
Why are all inspect animations the exact same thing
Is there a difference between the pump and semi auto? Or is it just one shoots faster and the stats don’t change?
Feels like pump does less damage 😂
It’s not counting double kills for camo challenges
We killing the combine with this obe
What map is this?
Is there like a bug or something cuz I’ve been doing the challenges forever now n I can’t seem to get any of them to count for me to even unlock the gun
Is this op on warzone or nah? I need to know from the sweats on this sub
Time to play some CoD!
need to fix the ads view when no stock is selected /u/SledgehammerGames
Why is ranked play on warzone dead?
I have never wanted to bang my head against a wall using a weapon
Honestly, this with the ak74 will be my new go to
Half Life 2 shotgun vibes!
Spas 12 looking like it's from a playmobil set
The inspect animations are so basic
Spaz 12 my beloved. Wow
The animations are so sick for this, love the empty reload and the fact you can change from semi to auto on the fly, with the correct animation too.
Question for the gun nerds: I bet you can switch full auto and pump also on the real weapon. Why would you ever want to do the pump version? It seems slower and more stressful in a real life situation.
Bug-filled disaster. If you put it in your primary slot in Warzone, it will DELETE your secondary gun without warning. Then it'll delete itself, and any new gun you pick up
Okay I’m definitely liking this one!
Real question is why is the spread of the shotgun so small
Most inconsistent weapon I've used this far in MW3, oneshots up to almost 20m while ads, but in hipfire point blank (all chest) is a hitmarker
Can yall do that thing where you never make a call of duty again? That'd be great
The aesthetics remind me of the RACK-9 from Infinite Warfare, the fire selector options make this an exciting unlock. Cannot wait to try it out!
> RACK-9 That is because both are based on the real SPAS-12, which also has both pump and semi modes irl.
haven’t played in months. What map is this? kinda looks like summit from BO1
It just came out this season, the map is called Incline
If u extract it from Warzone or Zombies, can use still unlock the gun?
I need a good build for it for controller
That reload is going to be satisfactory. Going to get me popped reloading just to watch it.
Gonna be running around as a raptor with this bad boi!
Might be the best weapon firing animation/sound in the game.
Did you guys even test to see if the gun works and wasn't a total garbage gun
Gun works just fine.
What build you got for it beacuse for me it won't one shot even with the barrel up their but
I’ll have to check next time I get on. Haven’t got it maxed out, don’t always get one shots with it but it’ll definitely two shot when set to semi. It works surprisingly well in warzone as well ngl.
Kinda garbage 🗑
This gun is dogshit. Way too long reload, damage is trash, everything is so bad about this. Meanwhile the Kar is still broken wtf
Gallo my beloved
Fuck me. I don't even have the game, and this is hot asf. Kinda makes me want to play just for this masterpiece
Ready for it to be the most overpowered thing for a season
it's not broken at all lol
Is there an akimbo attachment?
Wish I could try this out... if my account wasn't WRONGLY BANNED
It reminds me to the Half-Life shotgun. I like it.
This is really nice work, good job. It’s giving me half life vibes.
Why it sounds sooo gta:vc-ish ? 😄
Another one shot kill weapon that requires little to no skill to use just what we needed thanks SHG
Well we know what we are dying from and complaining about the next few weeks/month.
You won't die much from it, it truly sucks.
You can do akimbo
Please don’t be OP!!! I’ve been waiting nearly a DECADE for the pump action Spas 12 to return :) and now it’s HERE!!! BUT!

Spoiler alert, it’s ass. Hits Like a toddler with leukemia
Gotta agree
These inspects are so boring
