The FSA-12G is a primary shotgun available in PAYDAY 3, added as part of the Syntax Error Weapon Pack DLC.

Overview[]

The FSA-12G is the first semi-automatic shotgun in the game. It boasts a decent 10-round magazine, a decent firerate of 300, good damage and an ammo pool of 40 (though it can increase to 60).

The FSA-12G is the modern equivalence to a trench sweeper, clearing entire rooms of SWAT in quick succession. With the right skills and EDGE buff, particularly Ammo Funnel and Replenish, you'll have a near-infinite semi-automatic shotgun that absolutely annihilates swathes of enemies from short to a surprising mid-range distance, completely trashing Bulldozers with just half a magazine. The default magazine capacity can either be increased to 15 or decreased to 5, depending on whether you're prioritising reloading speed or damage output. Its fast reload also benefits the FSA-12G's speed, even with the extended magazine attachment.

Although ridiculously powerful, given that it is a shotgun, its high spread and recoil should be taken into consideration as it cannot engage long-ranged enemies. Its low magazine capacity may even prove to be problematic as users who are not careful enough might find themselves reloading more often than shooting. In fact, the one enemy the FSA-12G struggles against the most is, ironically, the Shield unit, as they can easily tank the damage dealt by the FSA-12G (unless staggered or has its shield window broken).

Summary[]

Pros:

  • Serviceable ammo pool
  • Extremely effective against more dangerous special units when paired with the right skills
  • Fast reloading speed
  • Ridiculously high damage
    • Absolutely annihilates Bulldozers

Cons:

  • Low magazine capacity (can be adjusted with attachments)

Tips[]

  • If one is using adaptive armor, use Ammo Funnel, Replenish, and Plate Up as skills in combination with any other skills that benefits from having the EDGE buff active or something to decrease the enemies' defences. This way, the FSA-12G becomes an extremely effective room-clearing shotgun that can, more often than not, wipe out Bulldozers if one is crafty enough to get near those special units.
