📋 About This Mod
I'm finally back after two months with an actual weapon to give you guys! Here's what I call the Scrap Shotgun. I've been working on it for a little while only because things got pretty chaotic since I've been gone. I'm preparing to enter college this fall and have been helping out with lots of home renovations, but I'm finally back and hopefully ready to bring you guys a nice steady stream of weapons again. This time I'm stepping down from PBW as a project and just doing whatever comes to mind, whatever I think would be fun to make, which means more original designs! Such as this one! Anyway enough of my yapping, here's the mod info:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 225 endorsements and nearly 90k downloads.
- Fills a niche for early-game shotgun users, giving you a pump-action option before late-game gear.
- Simple concept—just a new shotgun—so it's easy to integrate into your loadout.
⚠️ Cons
- No mention of crafting or loot locations, so you'll have to find it in the world or hope it spawns.
- Last updated in June 2024—might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before installing.
For players who want a new early-game shotgun to spice up their playthrough without overhauling the game. If you're a completionist or just like collecting unique weapons, this is a quick add. Skip if you need detailed stats or a full weapon pack—this is a single, simple addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a weapon mod, make sure your game is updated to a compatible version—check the mod's last update date against your game version.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable it and let it handle file placement; otherwise, manually drop files into your Data folder.
- Test the spawn rate in a new game or by using console commands to spawn the weapon, so you know what to look for.
