*One of the most dominating weapons in the Halo Trilogy, the Shotgun shows its most effective side in [[The Library (Level)|The Library]] in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and in ''[[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]]'' in ''Halo 2''.

*Despite its very slow reload rate, this is arguably the best weapon against the Flood, or at least one of the best. Players might want to duck behind somewhere just in case they need to reload.
*Despite its very slow reload rate, this is arguably the best weapon against the Flood, or at least one of the best. Players should find cover when reloading.
*This weapon is easily the best choice in the game for taking out powerful enemies such as groups of [[Flood Combat Forms]], [[Elites]], and Brutes. Even on ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' [[Heroic]] difficulty, it is possible to take out Elites with as few as two shells, and only on [[Legendary]] do the Flood become capable of surviving a direct hit from the shotgun.
*This weapon is easily the best choice in the game for taking out powerful enemies such as groups of [[Flood Combat Forms]], [[Elites]], and [[Brutes]]. Even on ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' [[Heroic]] difficulty, it is possible to take out shielded Elites with as few as two shells, and only on [[Legendary]] do the Flood become capable of surviving a direct hit from the shotgun.
*In ''Halo 2'', Brutes, [[Councilor]]s and [[Ultra Elites]] are the only ones that can survive a point blank shotgun blast on Normal difficulty. Hunters can be killed by shooting directly into the orange fleshy openings on their armor. However, on Legendary difficulty any higher than a [[Minor Elite]]'s shielding and health can withstand a point blank shotgun blast. Beware, for the [[Flood]] can wield shotguns to devastating effect, since they have an extremely long jumping range. ''Halo 2'' Brutes also wield shotguns.

Hunters can be killed by shooting directly into the exposed orange [[Lekgolo]].

*Despite its huge firepower it will take around 2-3 shots to kill a Brute Minor or Captain. Depending on the range and location of hit, it goes: 1. Takes down (Fully or Partially) the Energy Shield. 2. Shoots off his helmet. 3. Goes Berserk so therefore weaker and the last shot should kill. Again depending on range and area of shot.
