Route planning notes

For Shotgun, the useful answer is not just whether the entry exists. Players usually need to know how it changes a route, whether it costs inventory space, and whether the current source is strong enough to trust before starting a long run.

Use the quick facts first, then compare the related pages before treating this as a final route. Piggy: Intercity choices, map access, shops, and chest behavior can all change how useful the item is.

How to use this page

1. Do not rank Shotgun above supplies unless you know where ammo comes from.

3. Check chest pages when looking for possible weapon loot.
