The Proton Shotgun is an Energy Weapon completed in the Ghostbusters 2016 Update, it sells by itself and in its designated Pack; after the Easter Update of 2021 this weapon is now unobtainable.

Strategy[]

Geared towards the Old Meta, this Shotgun actually feels more futuristic as compared to the Tri Barrel Plasma Rifle, taking all of its setbacks and either mitigating them, or going untouched. For the most part, this weapon posses decent attributes, however its proton efficiency, projectile speed, and splash dwindle into the subpar. Pitted against moderate builds, and this weapons cons are greatly amplified.

Let it be known this weapon, fires large orbs which have moderate speed in motion, making them easy to dodge in long range Run And Guns which is why the user should always avoid using its range and auto-aim to take out targets at a distance, instead handling it like any normal Shotgun, Twisting around opponents when nearby them or Ambushing at corners. Catching the attention of Water Weapons, Assault Weapons, and Bows can be a serious problem.

Trivia[]

  • It was the first weapon of its reload animation.
  • Strangely, the use of this weapon as seen in the movie is actually to launch Proton Grenades similar to the Thumper, and is widely named the 'Proton Grenade Launcher' because of this.
    • Similar to the movie usage for both Blaster's[2], this weapon also does not have an official name.
  • As mentioned in the Strategy, this weapon is nearly identical to the Tri Barrel Plasma Rifle in terms of playstyle and mechanics used, vastly improving the reload speed, rate of fire, ammo count, and projectile speed.
