Shotlite Tempest

"A light and highly mobile full auto shotgun. Lower penetration but excellent crowd control"

- In-game description.

The Shotlite Tempest is a full-auto shotgun manufactured by Shotlite. It appears to be a spiritual successor to the AA-12, due to the similar appearance, full-auto capability, and the status of being a shotgun.

The tempest has a high rate of fire but a low pierce

It's a perfect weapon for those who like weapons with a high rate of fire, and it does quite a bit of damage per pellet and it can decimate small hordes of zombies. It also has a low ammo cost which makes it an excellent weapon for players who want to save money, one of the best shotguns you can get. Unfortunately, the pierce of 1 limits it about the same amount as the Hard Thorn, and its much less cost effective than the hard thorn since it needs $80 for 100 rounds while the Hard Thorn needs $80 for 200 rounds, but better in combat as it deals more damage.

Trivia
