Riot Shotgun - General Info

 

 

Riot Shotgun - Locations

There are multiple locations where this weapon can be found, however, only a few are guaranteed. Generally, on the higher levels, there are plenty more of them.

Gun Runners

Purchased from Vendortron, after level 16

Hidden Valley Bunker

Sometimes can be bought from Knight Torres

Camp McCarran

Around the camp area, there will be multiple Fiends, they may drop it here at higher levels.

Gammorah

First, you will need to enter the strip. Then you would have to enter Gammorah casino. Through the main lobby area, you need to get into the forbidden areas and get to the bank doors. There stands the guard with the shotgun. The bank is the area with bars that you see in the main lobby

I personally do not recommend this option, its risky, and requires a lot of preparation and it's better to check the other options

Vault 34

Once you get access to the Armory, there are multiple weapons and riot shotguns. However, it is in poor condition. Be prepared to fight multiple ghouls

Lonesome Road enemies

The DLC is full of Marked Men that usually have Riot Shotguns on them once you are at a higher level.

The DLC requires you to be level 30 and starts at Canyon Wreckage, south of Goodsprings

Hopeville Armory

Requires Lonesome Road DLC

At the start of the DLC near the Hopeville Missile Base Headquarters you can find Hopeville Armory. To enter it you need to find a Holotape (in Hopeville Base), Science 75, or Lockpick 100. Once inside you need Lockpick 100 to unlock another container where the Riot shotgun is found

Riot Shotgun - Notes

• This is the highest DPS shotgun in the game, however, it goes through bullets extremely fast
