This article is about the weapon in Doom (2016). For other versions of this weapon, see:

The DS-117 combat shotgun is a weapon in the 2016 Doom game. Forged from a quality titanium-steel alloy, its qualities include high reliability, a fast rate of fire, and high-velocity, high-impact shot.[1] Like most of the weapons in this incarnation of Doom, the combat shotgun can be modified and upgraded with attachments which impart special capabilities beyond the base weapon's attack characteristics. It is more limited in effective range than its classic counterpart, though not quite to the extent which the Doom 3 version suffered.

"A pump-action shotgun with a tight spread of buckshot."
SnapMap description

Modifications

Explosive Shot
An alternate ammunition for the combat shotgun based on octanitrocubane explosive and a glycerin fuse. Shot embedded in the explosive is dispersed upon impact, creating an effect similar to the frag grenade, damaging targets over a wide area. This extends the weapon's utility against multiple targets.
Charged Burst
The charged burst upgrade fires off a volley of three shells in a quick succession. The compression reloader component used to drive this fast firing is powered by Argent energy, and requires a cool down period after use.
