SHOTGUN TRAINING

Every character can use any weapon but without proper training, your weapon will suffer -70% to attack and damage. Learning first rank of any weapon category removes the penalty.

Shotguns are one of the primary weapons in the Mass Effect universe. These weapons typically deal very high damage at close range but at the expense of less accuracy over larger distances.
