Shotgun Kin

Shotgun Kin, also known as Shotgundead, are a series of high-ranking bullet based enemies found throughout all chambers. Their attacks mostly consist of wide bursts of bullets at the cost of having a generally low fire rate. Unlike Bullet Kin all variants of Shotgun Kin have unique names or adjectives, and as such there is no enemy simply called a 'Shotgun Kin'. The closest to a generic shotgun kin enemy is the Red Shotgun Kin, due to its simple appearance and basic attacks.

See below for a list of all Shotgun Kin.

Shotgun Kin Variants

Other Appearances

Several generic shotgun kin with unusual adornments such as sunglasses (similarly to Shades) and eyepatches (like Veteran Bullet Kin) appear in early key art for Enter the Gungeon, illustrated by Maximo Lorenzo.
- Sunglasses would be added to the design of Blue Shotgun Kin years later with the release of Enter the Gungeon: House of the Gundead, although these things are unlikely to be related.
A carving of a generic shotgun kin appears on a doorframe in key art for the Advanced Gungeons & Draguns update.
Several doodles depicting generic Shotgun Kin appear in the Physical Ammonomicon;
- The entry of the Composite Gun has a doodle of two Shotgun Kin wearing sunglasses and ties. Like the gun itself, this may be a reference to the film In the Line of Fire.
- The entry of the Regular Shotgun has a doodle of four Shotgun Kin bowing in seeming reverence of the weapon.
- The entry of the Tangler has a doodle of a unique cubic Shotgun Kin wielding the weapon
