- "Buckshot does what it says on the win; allows you to use the shotgun to effectively down deer. Close-range shots are recommended due to the spread effect.
A buckshot contains a small amount to medium-sized pellets. Trauma caused in higher than the birdshot at the cost of a less dense shot pattern. This makes it suitable for small game and medium-sized deer at close range." - ― In-Game Description
