The Shotgun is a weapon which is featured in Resident Evil CODE:Veronica. Chris finds it on a compartment acting as a "key" for the stairs. If the player chooses to take it, the stairs will rise, preventing the player from proceeding. Chris has to find the same Shotgun and replace the previous ones to proceed. Claire can later use it if the player decides to put the Shotgun previously wield by Chris in the Item Box.
