OVERVIEW:

An ancient pump-action shotgun. A classic. A legend. Just the sound of racking the slide is enough to make foes quake in their boots. And rightly so.

BACK STORY:

"I'd been through many weapons over the years. Some I liked, some I didn't. But I'd never seen a man weep at the sight of a shotgun. Something about that classic style and rugged dependability spoke to Rook..."

CONTROLS

Weapon uses standard mouselook controls with arrow keys. The Retro Shotgun features a pump-action, but is effectively semi-automatic. Users cycle the action by releasing the mouse button after firing. Upon emptying the magazine, click again to reload, or use the reload gesture. You don't have to reload to swap ammo types.

The Retro Shotgun has a traditional tubular magazine which is loaded round-by-round. It will automatically perform a tactical reload (loading an extra shell into the chamber) during every reload for maximum ammo capacity. The reloading sequence can be interrupted by firing or melee'ing in an emergency.

Firing continuously will degrade accuracy, pausing fire will gradually return accuracy to normal. Various attachments will affect performance aspects such as reload time, accuracy, and special abilities. You can also modify specific handling attributes such as bullet velocity and RayCasting.

A number of quick keys are built into the weapon controls. Pressing left and right simultaneously will reload. Pressing forward and backward simultaneously will melee.

IN THE BOX

Included with the Retro Shotgun:
-The shotgun itself
-A holstered version of the shotgun
-The Retro Shotgun user manual
-A set of gestures for quick-keys

RE-SIZING

Both the shotgun and its holster can be re-sized to fit the user. The holster is mod, and can be scaled freely. The shotgun itself can be sized incrementally using the 'Scale' command. Both the shotgun and its holster will automatically update themselves after scaling to ensure attachments and moving parts function properly. Avoid unlinking or re-naming any parts, as this can cause the script to animate on the wrong parts.

GESTURES

The Retro Shotgun is a primary weapon. Using the included gestures, it's mapped to the 1 key. If used with a secondary weapon (such as the Ck70 Machine Pistol), pressing 1 will automatically safe the primary weapon and deploy the secondary weapon. CTL+S to safe (using included gestures.) Gestures may be modified to use this weapon-swapping functionality with any secondary weapon.

ANIMATIONS

The Retro Shotgun features an animation overrider. It takes over certain animations such as standing, running, and walking. As such, it's always best to turn off any and all other animation overriders you might be wearing, as they could conflict with the Retro Shotgun's animations.
