📋 About This Mod
This mod moves all shotguns that take up the Primary slot into the Special slot. This includes the crappy lever action Sawed Off used by drifters, I was just too lazy to track one down to pull from their cold, dead hands.
Installation:
1. Extract the included pak file to C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\BendGame\Saved\Paks. If you don't see your AppData folder, go to "View" and make sure "Hidden items" is checked.
2. In your Days Gone directory, go to BendGame\Content and rename the "sfpaks" folder to anything else, like "sfpakss." This folder is only used to preload assets; disabling it can result in slightly longer load times, but it won't cause any other issues. Make sure you change it back to "sfpaks" before downloading any official updates, or the entire folder will be downloaded again.
Compatibility:
-This mod is fully compatible with Spood's Improved Shotgun Range mod. No patching required.
-This mod is softly incompatible with mods that directly edit the stats of any Primary shotguns, like rohon777's Auto Shotgun and Liberator mods. Patching is not required, any shotguns affected will simply have their default position on Deacon's back, which can result in clipping and/or floating. Make sure this mod is loaded before any other mods that edit shotguns (this can be achieved by changing the "500" in this mod's filename to "499," or changing the "500" in their filenames to "501," "502," etc). Patching is not required, but instructions are available below.
-This mod is softly incompatible with mods that edit Inventory_WeaponID5.uasset in Libraries\Tuning\Inventory. If this file is overwritten by another mod, the shotguns will appear in the Primary section of the gun locker instead of the Special section, but they will still be equipped into the special slot. Patching is not required, but instructions are available below.
-This mod is fully incompatible with shelmez's Increase buckshot in one shot in shotguns mod. Patching his mod is required, instructions are available below.
-This mod is fully incompatible with mods that directly edit the stats of all three "Lil Stubby" Secondary shotguns. If this mod's blueprint files for these 3 weapons are overwritten by another mod, they will be equipped into the Special slot. Patching is required, instructions are available below.
Patching:
If you want to reposition the weapons, open your existing stat edit's blueprint and find the "HolsterRelativePosition" and "HolsterRelativeRotation" entries. Use the following values:
1887 (Sawed Off): for Position, Value1

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 619 endorsements and over 20k downloads — clearly a lot of players wanted this.
- Does exactly what it says: no bloat, no extra features, just shotguns moved to the Special slot.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most loadouts since it only changes slot assignment.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not work with the latest game version or DLCs.
- Only affects shotguns; if you wanted other weapons moved, this mod won't help.
For players who prefer shotguns as a backup or special weapon rather than a primary. If you're tired of shotguns cluttering your primary slot and want a cleaner loadout, this is for you. Skip if you want any other weapon changes or if you're on a newer game version that might break compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod is compatible with your current game version, as it hasn't been updated since 2021.
- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to easily disable it if needed.
- Test in a save where you have shotguns equipped to see the slot change immediately.
