11Shotguns are a firearm category in Crimson Desert used exclusively by Damiane. Firearms challenges must be completed as Damiane because she is the only character who can equip firearms in the base game.2233Category Overview445566FieldValueWho uses itDamiane onlyRoleClose-to-medium range spread fireUse caseRanged opener into melee follow-up, especially against grouped weaker enemies77How Shotguns Work8899Shotguns fire a cone of pellets rather than a single projectile. The damage drops off at longer range, but at close to medium distance the spread makes them extremely effective at hitting multiple enemies with a single shot. They are a natural fit for Damiane's aggressive style, which balances firearms openers with rapid melee follow-ups.10101111Known Shotguns12121313WeaponBase ATK+10 ATKNotesDelesyia Shotgun1438Crit Rate Lv.1 to Lv.2; crafted at a Blacksmith from "Ranged Weapons of the World - Guns, Vol. II"Mortimer Shotgun1541Acquisition not yet fully documentedMetilbahm Shotgun14Maximum refinement not confirmedAcquisition not yet fully documented1414See Also15151616DamianeWeapons17171818Update: Kliff Firearm Access in Patch 1.08.0019192020Patch 1.08.00 (May 22, 2026) extends shotgun usage from Damiane to Kliff. After 1.08.00, Kliff can equip muskets and shotguns in the same ranged slot and ammunition framework as Damiane has been able to since launch. This means the Firearms challenge set is no longer restricted to a single playable character.21212222The change is documented in the official Patch 1.08.00 notes. Players returning to the Firearms challenges with Kliff can now check off shotgun-specific completion objectives that previously could only be cleared with Damiane.23232424Cross-Character Shotgun Use Summary25252626CharacterShotgun EquipPatchDamianeYes (from launch)Base gameKliffYes1.08.00OongkaNo (unarmed and melee focus)n/a
