Find the Broken Shotgun in Resident Evil Outbreak! Learn its purpose and location in the Spencer Mansion to bypass traps and progress through the game.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the Broken Shotgun. Don't worry, it's not actually useful for shooting, but it's a super important key item! Think of it as a puzzle piece. ### Purpose This bad boy lets you swap out a regular shotgun hanging in the Spencer Mansion's 1F east lounge. Doing this lets you grab the actual shotgun without triggering a nasty falling ceiling trap. If you're playing as Chris, this is pretty much the *only* way to get the shotgun safely. Jill can sometimes get help from Barry Burton to avoid the trap, but if he's not around or you take a different route, you'll need the Broken Shotgun too. ### Location You'll find the Broken Shotgun in the Firearms room within the Spencer Mansion. This applies to both the original game and its Remake. ### Further Notes Just a heads-up on some trivia: in the original game, the description has a couple of typos like "Dose" instead of "Does" and "Have" instead of "Has." Apparently, this was a common thing with early English translations from Capcom. Also, the broken shotguns in the game are modeled after real-life weapons: the Remington M870 and the Winchester M1897.
