The SPAS-12 is a primary weapon in Far Cry 2.

BackgroundEdit

The SPAS-12 is a pump-action or semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun designed by Franchi. While not popular with law-enforcement or military forces, the SPAS-12 is often found in movies. In Far Cry 2, the SPAS is on semi-automatic mode.

ObtainingEdit

The SPAS can be purchased after completing the third convoy mission in Act 1 or at the beginning of Act 2. This shotgun starts to appear in enemies hands near the second half of Act 1, and eventually becomes a very common weapon. When in the hands of enemies, this weapon can become a downright annoyance as they are capable of killing the player extremely quickly.

CharacteristicsEdit

The SPAS-12 is a much better choice for fighting multiple targets at close range than the Homeland 37 due to its semi-automatic nature. A fully loaded SPAS can clear out a room full of enemies with ease. Whenever there is a chance, make sure to reload; despite its large capacity of 12 shells, these rounds can quickly disappear if not paying attention.

SPAS-12s have the lowest effective range of all the shotguns, due to very high pellet spread. Owning a handgun, machine pistol, or machine gun is necessary to offset the SPAS's lack of range.

Its reliability is average. While it will not rust up within a few shots, it is not a weapon that can be used for most of a mission without it getting extremely rusty. It can be hauled around for long trips before it fails, but you should try to grab a new one from an armoury if given the opportunity.

Multiplayer Edit

The Spas-12 is stronger then all the shotguns in-game, however it's poor range means that the player has to be within 5-8ft in order to cause any damage to their enemy. It's the second most used shotgun in multiplayer.
