Grand Theft Auto Onlinemay be over 7 years old, but the online multiplayer game continues to stand up to other popular titles thanks to its constant updates. Even in 2020, players are receiving content such as the continuation of 2019’sDiamond Casino Heistand Summer updates, but there is one more release before the year ends. The Cayo Perico Heist expansion brings a new island to explore along with some familiar weapons toGTAplayers.
The Combat Shotgun has always been one ofGTA’sbest firearms, but this iconic weapon hasn’t appeared in the HD universe sinceGTA 4released over 12 years ago. Thankfully,Cayo Pericofinally lets players acquire the Combat Shotgun, but it won’t be dropped by any enemies or be available from a shop initially. Instead, the Combat Shotgun has several different spawn points around the island and this guide will ensure players don’t miss it.

Unlocking the Combat Shotgun
Cayo Perico Island can only be traveled to once players have started the Cayo Perico Heist so check that the initial missions like meeting Miguel Madrazo are already completed. Upon arrival, the Combat Shotgun is tucked away inside El Rubio’s residence, which isn’t immediately accessible and requires finishing heist setups likegetting a submarine. After satisfying these conditions, the shotgun will be in one of 7 locations within the mansion propped up against a wall or bench. Many players have reported finding it more commonly in the southernmost spot, but be prepared to search each one. Note that it can be claimed anytime during the heist finale.
The Combat Shotgun is best used at close range with its 6-shell limit but has a higher fire rate and damage that makes it better than other members of its family such as the Pump or Assault Shotguns. Once acquired,GTA Onlineplayers can purchase it at Ammu-nation gun stores in-game for $295,000 along with other optional customizations including a flashlight, suppressor, and various tints.
Even after getting the shotgun, there are still other things for players to do on Cayo Perico Island. While the lack of true free-roam may disappoint someGTA Onlineveterans, the improvements to night clubs and revamp of heists with multiple endings ensures plenty of replay value in the near future. And anyone tackling the final heist once again has another opportunity to pick up the newPerico Pistol.
Grand Theft Auto Onlineis available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
