This semi-automatic shotgun is a great tool for dealing serious damage to vampires while also making sure to take care of yourself. Stalking vampires gives 15 percent of max HP restored while the gun does double extra damage with two additional pellets and increased accuracy. This is a formidable gun that any undead would hate to come in contact with.

What’s so special about the Cass Special is the incredible amount of extra damage it does on headshots, providing a 75-percent bonus on top of base damage. It also has a 20-percent increased reload speed and a 50-percent bonus to accuracy. It’s a devastating assault rifle that deserves to be called special.

These guns are great just as a general rule since they’re extremely effective against both the vampires and any humans who get in your way. The great thing about a sharp piece of metal or wood is that it will do just as much damage to a person as it will the undead menace that’s controlling them. Ammo can be scarce, but using it at the right time can be a great boon in a fight.

While it’s often overlooked in many games, the pistol is a great weapon in Redfall due to the control it offers, even with Ambition’s semi-auto fire. Whereas a shotgun or a rifle might have a kick that’s hard to control, this pistol offers 50 percent increased accuracy. What’s even more impressive about this gun is that the bullets can kill non-hardened vampires, while also dealing 50 percent bonus damage to headshots as well.
