Find the Vulcano Shotgun in Arc Raiders and upgrade it further to get a devastating close-range weapon with the help of this guide.
The Vulcano Shotgun is an Epic weapon in Arc Raiders that is tailor-made for players who like to get into the middle of fights. This semi-automatic weapon has good close-up damage, and while the high bullet spread and lack of range balance the pros out, you can always make it better with upgrades. With that said, some areas in the game spawn this weapon reliably, so if you are looking for it, check out this article.
How To Find the Vulcano Shotgun in Arc Raiders
Despite Arc Raiders having a randomized loot system, you can find the Vulcano Shotgun in certain places that reliably spawn it. The Research building in Buried City is one such area. Here’s how you can find the weapon there.
First, launch your raid in Buried City. Once in, go to the Research building and then to the Parking Garage near it. Enter the Parking Garage and go to the second floor to find a breachable door on the corner. Go through the door and take the zipline there to reach an area that has good loot downwards. In this area, check everything, including the containers and trash can, and you may find the Vulcano Shotgun.
Additionally, if you do not find the Epic weapon during your first try, we encourage you to keep going on raids and looking for it, and you will eventually get it.
