The Shotgun is a Legendary firearm in Project Slayers 2 that trades sword range for close-quarters buckshot bursts and grab-based holds. You cannot buy it from a normal shop. Instead, you have to pull its schematic from a hidden boss in an underwater cave, then hand-craft the weapon at a village forge.
Quick answer: Farm the Lost Slayer in Final Selection’s underwater cave for the Shotgun Schematic (~5% drop), then craft it at Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village with 100 Metal Scraps, 200 Silk Thread, and 25,000 Wen.
Shotgun stats and skills
The Shotgun is a Legendary weapon built for pressure and combo extension rather than raw sweeping damage. Its in-game description reads: “Built from water stained plans copied off a lost Slayer’s weapon, it fights close with buckshot bursts and punishing holds.”
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Legendary |
| Additional Damage | +2 |
| Additional Damage Factor | 1.04x |
| Block Points | +2.7 |
The weapon runs its own skill tree with three notable moves. Box Shot fires at an enemy and follows with a kick. Point Blank grabs the opponent and slams them into the ground to open a combo window. Shell Shock Frenzy changes based on input, with one animation on a tap and a different sequence when held. Those grab-heavy skills make the Shotgun strong for PvP setups; group PvE clearing is not its strength.
What you need before you start
The Shotgun is tied to Slayer progression, so plan your character and materials before you dive into the cave. Line up the following:
- Around Level 45 to enter and clear Final Selection comfortably.
- A working Breathing Style, healing items, and unlocked map tools for travel.
- 100 Metal Scraps and 200 Silk Thread, farmed from chests, world boss caches, and Final Selection boxes.
- 25,000 Wen for the craft cost.
If you are currently a Slayer or Demon, you can reset your race to Human in the shop to access Final Selection; your Slayer Progression does not reset when you do this.
Where the Shotgun Schematic drops
The schematic comes from the Lost Slayer, a hidden enemy inside a submerged cave at Final Selection. The enemy carries 700 HP and it is easy to miss if you only follow the standard trial route.
Drop-rate figures vary between reports, with some placing the schematic closer to 2.5%. Either way, expect several clears before it appears, so keep space open in your inventory so the item can land.
Farm the crafting materials
Alongside the schematic, the forge needs a stack of common crafting resources. Gather Metal Scraps and Silk Thread from world boss chests, raid caches, and Final Selection boxes, and bank enough Wen before you commit. Grabbing the schematic while it is easier mid-chain, then topping up materials afterward, avoids soft-locking the craft.
| Requirement | Amount |
|---|---|
| Shotgun Schematic | 1 |
| Metal Scraps | 100 |
| Silk Thread | 200 |
| Wen | 25,000 |
Craft the Shotgun at Blacksmith Togane
Once the schematic and materials are ready, the actual forging happens with the blacksmith NPC in Hidden Mist Village.
Confirm the craft and equip the Shotgun
You will know the craft worked when the Shotgun appears in your inventory as a Legendary weapon with its listed stats. Open your inventory, select the Shotgun, and equip it to a weapon slot to start using its firearm moveset. From there you can chain sword attacks directly into the Shotgun’s abilities to extend combos in a fight.
