STG-12

Old STG-12 model.

"Close range shotgun"

~ In-game description

STG-12[]

The STG-12 is one of the only two shotguns in Warmerise, with the other being the Blast Shotgun. It has deadly potential when used correctly. The damage shown on the STG-12 does not mean that is the damage that the gun will give to your target at all time but shows the damage given to each shot in the shotgun shell. The shotgun shell contains six shots, so you can do six times the damage shown in the armoury if you shoot the gun once (all shots must hit target).


With that being said, the STG-12 is lethal at close range, usually blowing enemies into pieces in 2 shots, but using it for long-range firefights is laughable. You will often find this gun at The Base or at other close combat maps. The STG-12 was updated and replaced with a new model in the 2.2.3 update, along with a new appearance. It is the most common guns used by unregistered players (or guests).

Appearance[]

It is an all-black shotgun with no stock. It has 6 12 gauge shells on a saddle on the left side of the shotgun. There is what resembles a small flashlight on the front of the barrel. The pump and the body make it resemble a Mossberg 500 cruiser.

Tips and Tactics[]

  1. Only shoot this gun at close range, the closer the better, as you can deal up to 101 damage per shot if all pellets in the shell hit your enemy.
  2. In close combat, it's okay to get your sight off a little, as shots will still damage the enemy.
  3. Always aim for unaware enemies at very close range. It might be hard, but if you make no noise you should be fine.
  4. If the player is distracted, or not paying attention, sneak behind them and shoot them in the head at close-range. This will teach them a lesson.
  5. If a player has an automatic weapon at close range, try to get behind him and fire as fast as you can.

Trivia[]

  • The back end of the shells on the saddle of the STG-12 are golden instead of yellow, which is odd even for a tactical shotgun.
  • The shells on the saddle are cosmetic and serve no purpose.
  • The shotgun is often overlooked as it is a starter weapon. This is the second most powerful starter weapon, with the first being the L115A3 (The L115A3 does higher damage consistently).
  • The old model (as you can see in the gallery below), was more futuristic in appearance to the new model. It is modelled after a 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun.
  • The current one is modelled after a breacher's shotgun and looks less futuristic than the old model. The reasons for the change are unknown but is most likely due to resembling other games' shotgun models.
