Resident Evil 7 How To Get Shotgun
Okay, so you're diving into the murky, swampy world of Resident Evil 7? Smart move! It's a wild ride. One of the first things you'll probably realize is, "I need something to defend myself!" And what's better for arguing with mutated hillbillies than a shotgun?
The Hunt Begins!
Finding that first shotgun isn't exactly a walk in the park. But hey, a little danger makes things interesting, right? Think of it as a treasure hunt... a treasure hunt where the treasure can bite your face off.
You'll be exploring the Baker family's creepy, creaky house. Pay close attention to the rooms. It is like solving a puzzle of survival. You will stumble upon different pieces of key. One of the first rooms you should focus on is the Main Hall.
Must Read
Once you're in the Main Hall, keep your eyes peeled for the White Dog Head. This is a key item. You will need to insert that head into the white dog door, one of three animal doors around the main hall. When you do, you will open up the path to the next portion of the house.
Gettin' that Boomstick!
Now, here's the deal. The shotgun itself is chilling in the Main Hall, hanging on a wall in the Grandfather Clock Room. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! It's behind a locked display case. Don't you hate when that happens?
You might be tempted to just smash the glass. But patience, young padawan! There's a smarter way. A less... expensive way. Instead of smashing the glass and angering... things... you can find a replacement item.
Remember that broken shotgun you may have spotted earlier in the game? Yeah, that one. That is your key to getting the actual shotgun. You're basically trading up. Not a bad deal, all things considered.
The broken shotgun is located in Grandma's Room, on the second floor of the main house. You need to make your way up the stairs. You will find the room where she is chilling and the gun will be there waiting for you.
Now for the swap! Take that broken shotgun and head back to the display case in the Grandfather Clock Room. Trade it with the real shotgun. Voila! Boomstick acquired! Now you are one step closer to surviving the madness that awaits!
Why All the Fuss?
Okay, so why is getting this shotgun so exciting? First, because it's powerful. Resident Evil 7 throws some nasty creatures your way. A pistol just isn't going to cut it against some of those baddies.
Second, it's a symbol of progress. Getting the shotgun feels like a real achievement. You've explored, you've solved puzzles, and you've earned yourself some serious firepower. It's empowering! And honestly, who doesn't love a good shotgun blast?
But Wait, There's More!
The shotgun isn't just about blasting enemies. It's also about exploring. It will let you blast away boarded up doors and paths. A well placed shotgun blast can open up a whole new section of the house.
So, go forth and conquer that spooky house! Find that shotgun! Resident Evil 7 is a tense, scary, and incredibly rewarding experience. And trust me, having a shotgun in your hands makes it a whole lot more fun.
And a little tip? Conserve your ammo! You'll thank me later.
"Grotesque, but effective!" - Said every Resident Evil 7 player ever after using the shotgun.
