You can get a shotgun early in Alan Wake 2, from a display case in the general store. Here’s the shotgun code and how to get the shotgun in Alan Wake 2.
The shotgun is one of the best tools for dealing with Nightingale, the former investigator turned corpse turned Taken monster that serves as Alan Wake 2’s first big bad. Finding the shotgun is simple enough — the game will force you into the room where it’s stashed as part of the story — but finding the code to unlock the shotgun’s display case is another matter.
In this Alan Wake 2 guide, we’ll tell you where to find the shotgun, and tell you the shotgun code so you can open the display case.Where to find the shotgun in Alan Wake 2
The sawed-off shotgun is in the creepy, abandoned general store in Cauldron Lake — the first of the big locations you’ll be able to explore. However, you won’t be able to get the shotgun until your second visit to the lake, in chapter 2. (Or, at the very least, we couldn’t find a way to get it there in chapter 1, and you won’t need it until chapter 2 anyway).
Once you return to Cauldron Lake after a brief visit in town, progress the quest using the case files until Saga has to track down Nightingale’s heart. This will send you directly to the general store — although it’s worth mentioning that you can grab the shotgun anytime during your second visit, before or after you track down the heart.
