__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Shotgunner''', formerly known as the '''Enforcer''', is an intermediate ground tower that wields a powerful pump shotgun to attack enemies with. It costs {{Coins|850}} to buy from the store.

The '''Shotgunner''' shoots multiple bullets at once through ''Scatter Shot''. Damage is split among 8 bullets per firerate (so the base damage is 2x8), and these bullets are spread within a small cone and can pierce through enemies. The same enemy can be hit with multiple bullets, increasing the damage inflicted. On all levels, three enemies can be damaged by the same bullet. The first two enemies will be dealt full damage, while the last will only be dealt 50% of the damage. The closer an enemy is to the '''Shotgunner''', the more likely they are to be damaged by the bullets.

The '''Shotgunner''' is considered a mid to late-game, as its medium cost can be utilized in the mid-game, while its later upgrades and mediocre range, but high DPS can suffice in the late game. It is excellent against huge swarms of enemies as it allows '''Shotgunner''' to maximise its high DPS. 

The '''Shotgunner''' has a placement limit of nine per player. This is removed in [[PVP]] mode.

==Strategy==
*The '''Shotgunner''' is best placed in a straight line, as enemies traveling away from the '''Shotgunner''' will be affected by all the bullets.
**It is also recommended to set the '''Shotgunner's''' targeting to ''Farthest'' so that it hits as many enemies as possible.
*Multiple Level 0–2 '''Shotgunners''' are very cost-efficient and effective at killing enemies, even fast ones like the [[Speedy]] or [[Quick]], although it is quite expensive.
**Towards late-game, multiple Level 3 and 4 '''Shotgunners''' can be used to wipe out hordes of enemies, such as the [[Fallen Giant]] or [[Molten Titan]].
*Be aware that the '''Shotgunner''' has a quite mediocre range.
**[[DJ Booth]] or [[Ranger]] can be used to increase the range of '''Shotgunner''', but the range increase is minimal at best.
***However, the [[DJ Booth]] can still be useful to reduce the price of the '''Shotgunner's''' upgrades or to boost its damage.
**The [[Tesla]] complements the '''Shotgunner''' quite well as the [[Electroshocker]] can restrict enemy movement significantly, so the '''Shotgunner''' can hit more targets with each shot.
***The [[Freezer]] can help to freeze enemies, but it cannot freeze multiple enemies without its ''Frost Grenade'' ability. Meanwhile, the [[Sledger]] and [[Frost Blaster]] can freeze multiple enemies at once.
*The '''Shotgunner''' has a smaller placement footprint than most towers, making it take up far less space.
*The '''Shotgunner''' fires multiple bullets at once, making it quite effective against [[Tank (Attribute)|Tank]] enemies.
*While the '''Shotgunner''' does have high DPS for its cost, its overall damage output is mitigated due to its small range.
**This makes '''Shotgunner''' better used as a frontline defense to maximize damage output.
**'''Shotgunner''' is most effective on maps with small loops like [[Simplicity]] and [[Midnight Issue]].
*The '''Shotgunner's''' bullets can only pierce through a limited number of enemies, with the first two enemies being dealt full damage, and the last enemy being dealt only half of the damage.
**On all levels, it can pierce through two enemies, so each bullet can hit three enemies.
**This makes '''Shotgunner''' a good choice against crowds of high-health enemies where [[Splash Damage]] towers normally struggle.
*'''Shotgunner''' is a very effective tower for killing [[Flying]] enemies, as it gets flying detection at Level 2+ and has high dps.
**Before Level 2+, '''Shotgunner''' can still accidentally hit flying enemies within range of the enemy it is targeting. 

==Trivia==
*The '''Shotgunner''' (when it was called the '''Enforcer''') was inspired by the [[w:c:riskofrain:Enforcer|Enforcer]] from the ''Risk of Rain'' series.
*Before the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the '''Shotgunner''' (known as the '''Enforcer''' back then) had the appearance of a police officer.
**It also had an ability that spawned a [[SWAT Van]] with 600 health and a 45 second cooldown.
***This ability was voiced by YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCojsj6T5tNPGPZSx7wn4coQ JOHN ROBLOX]. There were three lines:
****"''Strike force moving out.''"
****"''Strike force rolling.''"
****"''Copy, strike force is on the way.''"
*The [[Shotgunner (Pizza Party)|Shotgunner]] enemy from [[Pizza Party]] is based on the '''Shotgunner''' tower.
*The '''Shotgunner''' was the only tower to gain lead detection and then lose it on another level.
**However, this was a bug and not intentional. This was later removed in the [[V2.0.0|Hardcore Rework]] update.
*The '''Shotgunner''' used to be a starter tower prior to the [[V2.0.0|Hardcore Rework]] update.
