The Chrome Shotgun is a pump shotgun variant in Left 4 Dead 2. The tight spread of 8 pellets in each shell make it capable of taking out Infected at moderate ranges in addition to being a powerful close range weapon, and each shot penetrates Infected indefinitely. This often makes it better at handling hordes than the submachine gun or pistols.

[edit] Differences
The chrome shotgun has a significantly tighter spread and lower recoil than that of the pump shotgun. It also has fewer pellets, with each individual pellet doing more damage, although its maximum damage is slightly lower than the pump shotgun's. Both weapons reload at the same rate but the chrome shotgun seems to fire slightly faster than the pump shotgun.
[edit] Tactics
- The chrome shotgun's accuracy makes it great for taking out Special Infected from a safe distance.
- Shoot at Infected mobs running in a fairly straight line to get multiple kills.
- Like with the other shotguns, reload the chrome shotgun as frequently as possible.
- Due to the somewhat small reserve of the chrome shotgun, try to avoid wasting ammo whenever possible.
- If you have Incendiary/Explosive Ammo for this weapon, switch to your secondary weapon unless a horde arrives. The spread of the shotgun is just big enough that it can light up a crowd of enemies in a couple of shots.
- Witches can be easily crowned with the Chrome Shotgun because of its tighter spread.

[edit] Trivia
- The shotgun's new animation, instead of pumping downwards due to recoil, now seems to resemble Team Fortress 2's shotgun pump animation, but slower.
- It would seem that the chrome shotgun is probably the most accurate shotgun in Left 4 Dead 2.
- It is modeled after the Mossberg 500 Marinekote.
- It also possesses a little resemblance to the Benelli M3. However, it should be noted that in real life, the M3 is solid black instead of being chromed.
