12 gauge slug shells are a type of 12 gauge shells that appears in Fallout Tactics.

CharacteristicsEdit

Damage is increased against individual, armored targets, but burst shots will rarely hit multiple targets.

LocationsEdit

• Mardin, in the shelf inside the shed which is marked "heavily patrolled" on the map; also on some of the guards.
• Cold Water, x10 can be bought from the merchant with a green shirt in the market place
  • x20 are in a BoS crate on the far right in level 2
  • x32, x20 and x40 can be found on Quincy traitors in level 4
• Merchant Special Encounter, for sale.
• Trader Special Encounter, for sale.

Behind the scenesEdit

• With a projectile weight of one ounce and a projectile diameter of 0.729" (effectively a .73 caliber weapon), the shotgun slug is a devastating projectile at short to medium ranges. However, its minimally-aerodynamic architecture limits its range, so a shotgun slug possesses superior ballistic characteristics over short ranges, but lacks the long-range lethality of a rifle round.

BugsEdit

• The slug shells display the AP icon next the shotgun's ammunition count in the inventory window.
