— In-game Description


The Sawed-Off Shotgun is a secondary weapon available in XDefiant. The Sawed-Off Shotgun was first released in Season 1.

Overview[]

The Sawed-Off Shotgun is the only secondary weapon to function differently from a handgun or revolver. Comparative to its longer-barreled version, the Sawed-Off has worse range and even less attachment options, at the benefit of being in the secondary weapon slot.

  • Added the Sawed Off secondary weapon. This close-range version of the double-barreled shotgun packs a big boom for its size. Imagine carrying a primary weapon in your secondary slot and that's this.
