"An old-fashioned shotgun. Doesn't hold much ammo, but packs quite a punch." — Inventory description |
The M21 Shotgun (ショットガンM21 shottogan M 21) is a weapon that appears in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. It is one of three shotguns in the game, the others being the M37 Shotgun and Thor's Hammer, the latter being a minigame exclusive.
Gameplay[]
Creating the M21 Shotgun
Initially the Broken Shotgun, it is used as a placeholder until the player finds the Model Shotgun. The player can repair the Broken Shotgun by combining it with a Repair Kit; either very early on by sacrificing the M37 Shotgun and Broken Handgun, or much later without sacrificing the other 2 weapons' availability.
A classic over-under break-action shotgun; holding only 2 shells compared to the M37 Shotgun but offers more firepower per shell, heavier knock back power, and concentrated blast ergo better effective range. Takes up 2 inventory slots.
Its heavier knock back power compliments the P19 Machine Gun well for mid range sustained engagement.
Nightmare[]
In Nightmare, the M21 Shotgun is made available to craft for 200 Scrap after the player unlocks the "M21 Shotgun" reward by accumulating 4,000,000 Points. The "Shotgun Upgrade" Skill affects this weapon.
