Can you spawn with a shotgun?

I’ve heard some people saying no and others say yes so I’m a little confused right now.

They don’t come in ordnance drops.

You cannot. Unless its a custom game of course or Flood Mode.

I believe shotguns are power weapons and aren’t a primary loadout and must be found in the map or in ordinance drops.

No spawning with power weapons. Not including custom games.

But I’ve heard that it’s been nerfed AND I have not seen any on the map.

Yes everybody gets a shotgun as part of their loadouts at level SR1. Rocket Launcher is at lvl 10 but is only a secondary weapon alongside the Brute Mauler, which you can now dual wield btw with a perk that’s unlocked at level SR12

> No, its a practically a power weapon, only in customs, infection.

But wasn’t it nerfed?

So much wrong with this post.

No spawning with shotguns in your custom wargames loadouts. In a very early Halo 4 build (I think E3) you could but they removed it.

You can spawn with a boltshot. Its ALT fire acts like a shotgun.

This is serious! I don’t want any sarcasm.

You have just been told differently by many different people. I suggest you don’t shun the words of those you ask. Heed their words, the Shotgun is not a spawning weapon unless the gametype specifically calls for it to be.

You could in early builds of the game. Now it’s not a spawn weapon, and called down in Personal Ordinance Drops.

I’m glad you took this post seriously.

Yes, very serious. Very serious indeed.

Your friends are obviously not constant posters here :slight_smile: It’s no worries but now you can tell them you heard from many informed Halo4 fanatics that the shotgun is a power/heavy weapon that isn’t equipped off the spawn unless in a game like Shotty-Snipers or Flood.
