Shotgun CS-DAZ

The Shotgun CS-DAZ is a pump-action shotgun manufactured by the Civil Security that fires three to four projectiles per shot. It is one of the four shotguns in the game, the others being the Alien Shotgun, Falkonian Shotgun and the Shotgun C-01s. It is the only shotgun that cannot be bought or upgraded in the Equipment Shop by the Marine. However, Proxy can pick it up and upgrade it during her campaign. The CS-DAZ is a relatively rare weapon in the Campaign.

The Shotgun CS-DAZ, like the other basic Civil Security weapons, is uniform in its grey color. It features a pistol grip as opposed to a stock. There is a realistic pump that slides back when the weapon is being fired, even without the hand of the player at times. The shotgun CS-DAZ makes a pump-action reloading sound after being shot, or when being picked up in between shots.

The shotgun CS-DAZ has the highest damage of all shotguns when all projectiles hit their target. Although the Shotgun C-01s and the Alien Shotgun fire more accurately, the CS-DAZ can shoot up to four rounds per shot, while the Alien Shotgun only fires two, and the C-01s with three shots. The CS-DAZ can do a great deal of damage to enemies at close range but will lose its effectiveness over longer distances, as the projectiles tend to spread out away from the center of the target, even more so than the other shotguns. An unupgraded Shotgun CS-DAZ will only fire three projectiles, but this is fixed by a single upgrade level.

Location
It is seen on rare occasions being used by Civil Security Heavies and once by a Civil Security Lite in the Proxy Campaign, and is only seen once in the Marine Campaign, being used by four Civil Security Ghosts. It can be picked up on level 30 by Proxy and upgraded in the Proxy Equipment Shop. This gun costs $1600 credits and can be upgraded for $300 credits, with a full upgrade price of $2500 credits, making it the cheapest shotgun in the game.

Trivia

 * It is one of Proxy's signature weapons.


 * This gun can be useful in revealing the location of Civil Security Ghosts because of its widespread shots.


 * Although it is not as effective at long range, it makes up for this disadvantage by being extremely deadly at close range.


 * The DPS (damage per second) of this shotgun is roughly equivalent to the other two shotguns.


 * The Shotgun CS-DAZ's high knockback is rivaled by that of the C-01s.


 * Its projectiles share the exact same characteristics as the Assault Rifle CS-RC, including identical power, damage, and appearance. This means that Shotgun CS-DAZ has the lowest single projectile power of any shotgun.


 * After firing the gun, you can switch to another weapon with the pump not racked forward. It will be pushed forward when you take it out again.
