Fallout 76: How to Get the Cold Shoulder Legendary Shotgun

Season 12 is underway in Fallout 76, and it is time for players to look and see what the game has to offer for players this season. With all the new items that are in the game, it can be difficult to organize and understand what you could end up wanting. This is especially true when it comes to weapons and armor.

In Fallout 76, players can now get the Cold Shoulder Legendary Shotgun. This shotgun is well sought after in Fallout 76 right now, and for a good reason. Players are hoping to get this new weapon before the end of Season 12 of Fallout 76. Here, we are going to tell you exactly what you need to do to get the new Cold Shoulder Shotgun in Fallout 76.

How To Obtain The Cold Shoulder Shotgun In Fallout 76

Getting the Cold Shoulder Shotgun in Fallout 76 is actually not too difficult. With each new Season of Fallout 76, there are new season rewards for players to collect. These season rewards are done in what is known as the S.C.O.R.E. system, which is essentially the battle pass for Fallout 76.

The Cold Shoulder Shotgun plans are actually in the S.C.O.R.E board, which means that it is a battle pass reward. To get the Cold Shoulder Shotgun, players must reach rank 5 on the S.C.O.R.E board. Once players do that, all they need to do is craft the weapon, and the Cold Shoulder Legendary Shotgun is theirs.

Is The Cold Shoulder Shotgun Good In Fallout 76?

Now that you have the Cold Shoulder Shotgun, is it actually any good? We would say yes, the Cold Shoulder Shotgun is good. There are a couple of reasons for this. The Cold Shoulder Shotgun will add cryo damage to enemies, and it has a chance to freeze targets as well. On top of that, players will get 50%+ bonus damage against Cryptids.

The most important feature of the Cold Shoulder Shotgun is ammo capacity. This shotgun is a double-barrel shotgun, but it has quadruple ammo capacity. That means players can rapidly fire powerful shotgun shots against whoever is in front of them. Having that much ammo means opponents will die much faster than normal. All of this is not even considering the perks that go with this weapon. We definitely recommend that players get the Cold Shoulder Shotgun in Fallout 76.
