Shotguns Tier List for Arc Raiders

Shotguns deliver devastating burst damage at point blank range. The Il Toro and Vulcano lead the shotgun class with one shot potential against lightly armored targets and excellent stopping power.

Devastating shotguns that can one shot most targets at close range. Perfect for base defense, room clearing, and ambush tactics.

• Dolabra (Legendary)
• Vulcano I (Epic)
• Vulcano II (Epic)

A Tier

Strong shotguns with reliable damage output. Great for close quarters specialists who know how to close the distance.

• Vulcano III (Epic)
• Vulcano IV (Epic)

Average shotguns that work in a pinch. The damage is there but fire rate, reload, or spread hold them back.

C Tier

Underpowered shotguns that fail to deliver on the class promise of devastating close range damage. Skip these.
