Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The Double-Barreled Shotgun is deadlier up close than the Trench Gun but carries only two shells. Our verdict is Captain Rapiesa's class: the Grip, a long-range sidearm and fast reloads. This applies to original 2008 multiplayer.
Best Double-Barreled Shotgun loadout
This class comes from Captain Rapiesa's Steam shotgun guide (posted November 2013, updated April 2014). GameRevolution's challenge list (7 December 2010) agrees on the attachments.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Grip | Takes your Perk 1 slot; Rapiesa thinks it is worth that |
| Secondary | Tokarev TT33 | Rapiesa wants a long-range sidearm with a close-range gun |
| Grenades | Molotov Cocktail, Tabun Gas | His pairing |
| Perk 2 | Sleight of Hand | Faster reloads with a two-shot capacity |
| Perk 3 | Deep Impact | Hit targets who move behind cover |
Why this build works
Popkorne's weapons guide (updated January 2019) says the gun's poorer accuracy and range can be almost entirely countered with Sleight of Hand and Steady Aim, which makes it arguably the best shotgun choice, though many players stick with the Trench Gun for the extra shells. It lists 40 to 15 damage across 8 pellets and 2.65 seconds per shell.
How to play it
Stay close and use your two shots quickly. Rapiesa treats it as a standalone gun for small rampages, and carries the Tokarev for anyone out of reach.
Alternative setups
Sawed-Off Shotgun (Rapiesa, 2013): trades range for damage, with Tokarev TT33, Primary Grenades x2, Camouflage and Extreme Conditioning, plus frag and smoke. He calls it the shortest-range weapon in the game and warns against getting caught out.
Unlock notes
GameRevolution and Rapiesa both list the gun at level 29. The Grip takes 25 kills. Sources differ on the Sawed-Off Shotgun: 75 kills on GameRevolution, 50 in Rapiesa's guide.
