How to Reload the Striker-12 Shotgun and the Minigun

Most guns in the addon reload normally. Two weapons work differently, and the difference can get you killed if you don't know it.

Striker-12: load shells one at a time

The Striker-12 is the addon's only shotgun. It deals 25 damage, holds 12 shells and has a very low fire rate. To reload it:

1. Put your gauge shells in your off-hand slot.

2. Hold the Striker-12 in your main hand.

3. Sneak.

4. While sneaking, hold or use the shotgun.

5. Shells go in one at a time. Keep holding or using until you have loaded as many as you need, up to 12.

Tip: Because it loads shell by shell, you don't have to refill completely. Top up a few shells between fights instead of starting a full reload with zombies close by.

Minigun: reload by crafting

The Minigun deals 25 damage with a 250-bullet supply, making it ideal against special zombies and crowds of small infected. It has no reload animation. Instead, you reload it through crafting:

1. Fire until the Minigun is empty.

2. Open a crafting grid.

3. Place the empty minigun and an ammo box in the grid.

4. Take the reloaded Minigun from the output slot.

Tip: Crafting takes you out of the action, so retreat somewhere safe before reloading. Carry a backup gun, such as the Glock or Vector, to cover yourself while you get there.
