The SPAS-12 appeared in Far Cry 2, as a primary weapon.

Background

The SPAS-12 is a pump-action or semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun designed by Franchi. While popular with law-enforcement or military forces, the SPAS-12 is more often found in movies. In Far Cry 2, the SPAS is on semi-automatic mode.

Availability

The SPAS can be purchased after completing the third convoy mission in Act 1, or at the beginning of Act 2. This shotgun starts to appear in enemies' hands near the second half of Act 1, and eventually becomes a very common weapon. When in the hands of enemies, this weapon can become a downright annoyance, as it is capable of killing the player extremely quickly. If you notice that the enemies are wielding the SPAS-12, it is a good idea to fall back and use a longer-ranged weapon to kill them from a distance.

Characteristics

The SPAS-12 is a much better choice for fighting multiple targets at close range than the Homeland 37 due to its semi-automatic nature. A fully loaded SPAS can clear out a room full of enemies with ease. Whenever there is a chance, make sure to reload; despite its large capacity of 12 shells, these rounds can quickly disappear if not paying attention.

SPAS-12s have the lowest effective range of all the shotguns, due to very high pellet spread. Owning a handgun, machine pistol, or machine gun is necessary to offset the SPAS's lack of range.

Its reliability is average. While it will not rust up within a few shots, it is not a weapon that can be used for most of a mission without it getting extremely rusty. It can be hauled around for long trips before it fails, but you should try to grab a new one from an armoury if given the opportunity.

Multiplayer

The Spas-12 is stronger than all the shotguns in-game, however its poor range means that the player has to be within 5–8 feet in order to cause any damage to their enemy. It is the second most used shotgun in multiplayer. The most used shotgun is the 1887, due to its far superior range and acceptable damage compared to the SPAS-12.
