Hydra (RE6)

Description
The Hydra shotgun is a weapon found in Resident Evil 6 and is exclusive to Helena Harper. She starts with the Hydra alongside her Picador as her default-load out. Unlike it's Resident Evil 5 counterpart, it lacks the strong firepower.

Gameplay
Despite lacking firepower when compared to the 2 shotguns, it is still deadly in close range, though it tends to be rather useless at a distance. The Hydra utilizes 10 Gauge Shotgun Shells rather than 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells. Since the weapon is exclusive to Helena, only Helena can pick the ammunition for this weapon. It suffers from it's 3 shots limit before reloading and also the rarity of it's ammunition. The main advantage of this shotgun class variant is its rapid rate of fire, being able to shoot all three shells in succession at the speed of your trigger-finger. When using Quick Shot with this weapon, Helena fires it in a quite impressive motion rather than the standard firing motion. She will perform 3 consecutive evasive movements while firing the weapon and also reloading it after finishing all 3 movements

Helena in her default costume uses this weapon in the Mercenaries alongside her Picador and the Grenade Launcher.
