The Shotgun can be found hidden in various levels. Each shotgun comes with 10 shells. If another shotgun is found while Rick is still holding a shotgun, the shells in the second shotgun will add to Rick's current amount until he reaches the limit of 10 shells.

Splatterhouse (2010)

A custom made double-barreled pump-action shotgun that Rick finds in Phase Four: The Meat Factory. It's extremely powerful, and can kill most enemies with a single blast. In light attacks, one barrel is fired with a large puff of smoke. In heavy attacks, both barrels are fired with a large firey effect. The grab attack has Rick execute an enemy by knocking it onto the ground, and decapitating it by firing both barrels. It can be upgraded to have rapid fire. Fire it closer to enemies to make it deal more damage.

Triva

• The Shotgun used in Splatterhouse was probally inspired by real life double-barreled pump action shotguns, like the Remington 1740.
• The Shotgun's execution is similar to the "Swallow this!" thumb|300px|rightscene from Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn.
• While the weapon is supposed to be a shotgun, the Splatterhouse (2010) strongly resemble a Howdah Pistol or a double barreled Blunderbuss.
• The Shotgun is the most powerful weapon in the Splatterhouse series, as it can literally blast enemies into smitherines. It's also capable of dismembering a Demon Teratoid, further showing it's power.
