The TAS-12 is a shotgun in PAYDAY 3, added as part of the Fear & Greed weapon pack.

Overview

The TAS-12 is a pump-action shotgun, similar to the Reinfeld 880. It is a powerful shotgun compared to its contemporaries, boasting the most pellets per shot (x10) and - unlike most shotguns - has good armor penetration. With this, it is capable of two-shotting Shield units through the visors and takes down heavy SWAT units extremely quickly, particularly with headshots. Having the EDGE buff or any skill that increases armor penetration and damage makes the TAS-12 an absolute monster in combat.

While powerful, the TAS-12 suffers from the slowest firerate out of all shotguns, even compared to the Reinfeld 880. While it spits out the most pellets, its spread also constitute the TAS-12's poor range and accuracy, so using this against Sniper units is highly unadvisable. Its reload is slow as well, so ammo conservation efforts may be needed.

Summary

Pros:

• Decent ammo pool
• Decent magazine capacity
• Good armor penetration
  • The only shotgun with an armor penetration stat higher than 0.5
• Most shotgun pellets out of all the shotguns

Cons:

• Mediocre firerate
• (Somewhat) slow reload
• Poor choice for ranged attacks
• Minimal ammo pickup
  • Can be alleviated with skills such as Ammo Funnel and Replenish

Trivia

• The TAS-12 is based on the Franchi SPAS-12, with both solid and folding stocks being offered as modifications.
• Unlike its iteration as the Predator 12G shotgun in PAYDAY 2, the TAS-12 does not have an attachment that folds the stock. In fact, the TAS-12's base game attachments starts without a stock, while the Predator 12G has its stock unfolded.
  • Strangely, an attachment for unfolding the stock can be unlocked for the TAS-12, but there is no option for a folded version.
  • The Predator 12G could be used in semi-auto configuration, while the TAS-12 cannot.
• The bolt catch is incorrectly shown being pressed down when reloading, with the carrier latch being used to chamber the weapon during an empty reload. Doing it this way in reality this would only send the bolt into battery instead of allowing the user to load the weapon.
