In the survival horror game Amnesia: The Bunker, players need to stay alive with a shortage of defensive and healing items to help out. One of the many things players will want more of is weapons that are effective against the monster. While players will start the game with a handgun, they can collect a lot of bullets around the bunker for the shotgun. However, the shotgun is not easy to come by, and it is easy to miss. As a result, some players of this 2023 horror game might want a full walkthrough of how to get the shotgun for themselves.

How to Get the Shotgun in Amnesia: The Bunker

The shotgun is a late-game item. In order to get it, players will need to have found the wrench and the bolt cutters in Amnesia: The Bunker. After getting the wrench from the Mission Storage, players will be able to nab the bolt cutters from inside the German prisoner's cell. After that, they should head to the Tunnels, which are found in the Armory branch of the map.

Once players get through the part of the Tunnels where they find one of the last photos in Amnesia: The Bunker, the Tunnels will start to look like Roman architecture. This is the location where players will be able to find both the Detonator Handle and the man who has the shotgun. As players enter this space, they will start to hear a voice singing a strange song and should follow the sound of the voice. The singing man has the shotgun, and players have to kill him in order to grab the gun.

Thankfully, there are two ways to kill this guy: either shoot him a few times with the handgun or toss a grenade at him. Once he is dead, players can walk over to his corpse to pick up the shotgun.
